CHIROPRACTIC FOR
CONSTIPATION.
ARTICLE No. 21.)

Constipation is probably one
Of the most common ailments
with which the American people
are troubled, as some of them
have suffered nearly all their
lives with it, and tried many
things with only temporary re-
lief.
Some people confuse Costive-
ness with Constipation while in
reality they are entirely differ
ent, but both are caused from
misaligned vertebre in different
regions of the spine.
Constipation is caused by inn
pingement on a motor nerve
which results in q dilation of the
colon or large bowel due to a re-
Taxation of its muscular coat, los
ing its tenacity or elasticity,
thereby causing a loss Of the
peristaltic motion Of the bowel,
this in turn allows the fecal mat
ter to become impact in the
bowel instead of keeping it NOV
ing and expelling it at the pro-
per time.
It is a well known fact that
when there is constipation there
is an abnormal amount Of poison
in the colon which if allowed to
remain will affect the entire sys-
tenn, and any one troubled with
constipation can not be strong
and vigorous and enjoy life to its
fullest.
Costiveness is q dryness or
hardness of the fecal matter due
to lack of certain secretions in
the body, and is caused by nerve
infringement in the spinal col
umn, as in constipation, except
that it is in another region of
the spine.
II every secreting gland or or
gan in the body is allowed to do
what nature intended them to do
cosGveness would not be q real
ity.
Take, for instance, Z patient
with diabetes which is attended
with frequent and excessive uri-
nation sapping the body Of its
secretions, and invariably you
viii find that patient will com
plain Of constipation, which IN
reality is costiveness. To enjoy
health the body must be supplied
with the necessary secretions at
all times.
Constipation and costivenese are both
the result Of abnormal expression OF
certain functions and vertebral SUBJ
Iuxations are the cause Of bo<h, result
ing in lower vitality. Have your spine
adjusted and let nature cast out the
impurities and build up your resist

dominate your body. AZ they can not

Any one sucering with constipation
will have dull headaches, drowsiness.

ness and distentton Of the abdomen.
It would be impossible for one to be
ill If there were no cause for the ALL
ment In your body. One can not be all
together well In any case where all the
nerves are not FREQ from pressure to
permit nature to course all through
your body with health-giving and
health sustaining energy. Wherever
there is distressing circumstance in 4
the body, the primary cause Of it can
be located in one or more joints OF the
spine, because that 10 where the spinal
nerves are compressed.
II you doubt this, take Spinal Adj
justments and try to prove 1t true or
untrue, the aches and pains WI leave
after adjustments and that is a power
full aid IN helping you believe in some
thing that you think fl unbelievable.
The Chiropractor proves the value OF
his work by the good results his pa
tents find at his hands.
The Science Of Chirupractic has
grown phenomenaIly In practice largely
by converting doubters through prac-
teal benefits derived from Spinal Adj
justments.
