What Are Laxative Foods,

healthy intestine should discharge the rem.
nants Of the previous meal when a new meal
Is taken In. The bowels ought to move
after every meal. but many colons are so
crippled by the erroneous habits. negiects
and abuses of civilized life as lived by the
average person that ordinary foodstuffs
will not stimulate the bowels sufficiently to
induce a movement after each meal. Some
colons have been SO stretched by constipa-
ton and by gas formation. due to the fer.
mentation Of retained food remnants, that
they are permanently crippled.
Most persons will be able to secure three
natural movements of the bowels daily by
the free use Of lettuce. fruits, coarse cere.
ais. green vegetables and bran at each
meal Sweet and acid fruits are laxative,
A handful of pecans taken with each meal
will not infrequently produce regular move.
