Constipation

NORMALLY, the bowels should move
IN after each meal, and sometimes just
after rising The largest movement gen
orally occurs soon after breakfast.
Many persons suffer from constipation
who are not aware of the fact, There are
three forms of constpatlou (A Simple
constipation, In which the bowels are only
somewhat sluggish or irregular in action;
CB) Cumulative constipation, in which the
normal movement of the bowels is pre-
vented by accumulation of hard, dry masses
In the reCtum or pelvic colon, and -(C)
Latent constipation, In which the bowels
move daily but without complete evacua-
tion of the lower colon. Not infrequently
the symptoms peculiar to latent and Cumu-
latve constipation are found present to-
gether It is highly important in every case
of constipation that such an examination
shall be made as will determine the cause
of the constipation. It is only by the aid of
such examination that It becomes possible
to make a successful application Of curative
means
Fasting, a scanty diet 0ess than 1900
calores), a liquid diet (milk. Rruels, por-
rdge) "A diet chiefly consisting Of such
foods as white bread rice. meat, eggs, tea,
coffee and condiments are highly constl-
patlng.
Celluose Ohe indgestibIe woody part Of
vegetable foods) is the only element which
can increase the bulk of the feces. The
average person requires about an ounce of
cellulose daily.
Garden vegetables (excepting the potato)
contain much cellulose, especially the beet
root, turnip, parsnip, spinach, cabbage,
brussels sprouts and lettuce Most fruits,
especially figs, apples, huckleberries and
prunes are also laxative.
Meals must be regular in time and the
amount OF food taken, Food is the physi-
ologiG laxative
Exercise promotes bowel action, espe-
cially walking, horseback riding gym
naslum exercises and such exercises as
trunk bending and deep breathing.
The best of all exercises for relief Of
constipation are eg-raising and similar
movements practiced with the head low,
using an inclined table or an ironing board
with one end on a chair the other resting
on the floor. special folding table is
made for this purpose.
Treatments which especially help bowel
action are the morning cold bath nassa ge
