Internal Bathing's
Rapid Growth

1t is but natural to expect that a
relief from Constipation and the many
ills which it causes which is SO effect
ual and so natural as Internal Bath
ing should quickly make many con-
verts. 81
But it's general use has increased so
tremendously in the past few years
as to suggest other reasons, and these
are found in the statements of users
that they feel as if made over new
the morning after an Internal Bath.
The elimination of the pernicious
and poisonous waste which is ever
present in the Lower Intestine gives
Nature a chance to work unhampered.
And one arises in the morning clear
headed, able bright confident and
eager for the days duties. sj
Sister Remand, Superioress, of VIM
ooski Park, VT, writes: Your new
system of medical treatment, which we
consider one of the most perfect as
we'll as the most simple, has been
thoroughly tested in many cases, such
as headache, chronic constipation and
dropsy, and we are more than pleased
with the results. Your Cascade is In
deed a revelation to the afflicted and
we desire to express our gratitude for
your enthusiastically yours----''.s
