practically everyone. at some time or

applies regardless of age or condi-
ton in life.
The congestion OF stomach waste in

ways bloat eructation of foul stom-

indicate constipation, and call for
prompt attention, not only to relieve
the present discomfort but also to
avoid possible disease that follows
neglect OF this important function.
Harsh cathartics and violent purga :
tives should not be employed, as these
afford only temporary relief, while
they serve to shock the entire sys-

The story of this popular and artis-
