Your Sewer System

Your OeWef OyStem
The liver the bladder and the colon (or large
intestine or 'bowel) the human bodys prin-
cipal means of getting rid OF its wastes. What
the sewer system does for the town, these organs
and others not named do for the organism and
just as there is more important problem in
caring for the health of the community than the
sewage problem, so is there more important
problem in connection with ones individual
health.
Nothing is more poisonous to living organ
ism than it's own wastes. If, for illustration, the
lungs are choked up so that the poisonous gases
usually thrown off by them retained in the
body life is extinguished in very few mo-
n,ents We are all familiar with the story of
how in Rome the small boy was covered with gilt
in order to impersonate Cupid in a parade and
how before the parade was over the little fellow
died. The substance covering his skin filled up
the pores through which waste materials are got
ten rid of. It was these materials in his body
that poisoned him. How important it is to elimi-
nate these wastes is shown by the elaborate
which nature has taken in building up elimi-
native organs.
After the stomach and small ntestnes have
extracted from the food every particle of nutri
tion, the residue is forced on down into the colon
Other waste materials caused by other processes
in the body also carried there.
If they remain in that organ too long, great
quantities of the germs of putrefactOn bred
If there is large amount of albuminous waste
present-the residue from such foods meat
cream and the white of eggs-these germs breed
much more rapidly than usual.
Through peculiar chemical process, poisons
are generated by these germs. If this poisonous
substance is retained too long in the Colon it is
taken up by the circulating blood and carried
through all parts of the body.
AS it goes those rounds, it affects the nerves
and all the organs and will in time break down
and destroy cells and tissues. Whatever organ
happens to be weakest naturally will be the first
to suffer. In this way the poison generated in
ones own body is very often the cause of the Or
ganic disease from which he suffers.
It was a Frenchman who discovered this pro-
cess first and who gave it it's scientific name
administration The word means literally
self-poisoning and is apt description of many
forms of disease.
Manifesty of the most effective means of
dealing with administration is to keep the col
on rid of these wastes much as possible.
When living an active outdoor life
the body we'll able to take care of this with
out any assistance but since we have come to live
sedentary indoor lives, nature has become so
handicapped that this problem of eliminating
wastes has become a vital one with US Some
have resorted to the habit of using any one of
five or six drugs which, through their poisonous
action on the intestine set it into spasmodic ac-
tion and thus cause it to eliminate it's contents
unnaturally. These poisons (popularly called ca
thartlcs) are very dangerous and should not be
used except under the direction of a physician
There is no doubt that thousands daily suf-
fering from diseases brought on through care
less use of these drugs.
But it has always been difficult to find a sub
stitute for them and it has often been the case
that one had to use them as lesser of two evils
But now DR.. Lane, eminent English surgeon
has come forward with simple remedy which
holds out high hopes to all persons thus suffer-
ing. He discovered that common paraffine OIL
which is refined out Of petroleum, is harmless
and effective means of helping the colon elimi-
nate its poisonous contents.
This is not drug and it doesn't act violently
Thousands have tested it with admirable results
If our reader chances to be one of that multitude
of sufferers from autO-intoxication he might
find it worth his while to consult his physician
in regard to the of this very successful and
very inexpensive remedy.
