Why Constipation Injuries

The bowels are the natural sewer
age system of the body. When they
become INSTRUCTED by constipation a
part of the poisonous matter which
they should carry off is absorbed in
to the system, making you feel dull
and stupid, and interfering with the
digestion and assimilation of food.
This condition is quickly relieved by
