When poisons accumulate in the IN.

of this part of the body, it is what we
call auto-intoxication. It. usually pre-
cedes any sickness, and you will escape
about nine-tenths of the ills of humanity
if you keep the bowels open. Eat coarse
foods. Use plenty of olive oil in potato
OF other salads-with onions. The rea-

and garlic.
Castor oil is good for children o,
adults, and especially good for agee
people. A pleasant form Of a vegetable
laxative that is to be had at any drus
store, was invented by DR.. Pierce, who
put together May apple, (podophyllin)

can be had for little money. They con-
