How To Prevent
Appendicitis

Appendicitis is primarily due to the
poisons formed by decaying food in the
bowels. 1t is a disease caused by i'm
proper and insufficient bowel elimina-
ton Many people have only a small
passage in the center of the bowels,
while the sides are clogged with old,
stale, fermenting matter They may
have bowel movement every day but
1t is not a complete movement and the
old stale matter stays in the system to
appendicitis such unclean bowels
cause headaches, stomach trouble and
80 percent of all other sickness The
old foul matter sticking to the sides of
the bowels often stays in for months,
poisoning the body and causing that
listless, tired feeling known as hauto-
intoXication."
HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE
The way to avoid sickness and to
keep feeling full of ambition is to
watch your bowels Just as you keep
the outside of your body clean, you
should also KEEP THE INSIDE
CLEAN. It is even more important to
keep the bowels clean than it is to keep
your body washed, because the millions
of pores in the thirty feet of bowels
quickly absorb poisons generated by
decaying food left carelessly in the
bowels. Don't allow the old, ferment-
ing filthy stuff to stay in your bow els
for weeks. but GET IT OUT and keep
it out. Remember, filthy bowels are
the cause of most sickness-no stom-
ach, liver of any other organ can dc
