Appendicitis Is primarily due TO
the poisons formed by dccaying food
In the bowels. 1t is disease caused
by improper and insufficient bowel
elimination. Many people have only
n smnll passage In the center of the
bowels, while the sides are clogged
with old, stale. fermcnting matter.
They may have bowel movement
every day, but u In not n complete
movement, and the old. stale matter
stays in the system to fermcnt and
cause trouble. Besides appendicitis.
such unciean bowels cause headaches,
stomach trouble and %. per cent OF
all other sickness. The old foul

bowels often stays in for months.
poisoning the body and causing that
llstless. tired feeling known as
auto intoxlcation."
HOW 10 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. IL is even more important
to keep tho bowels clean than II Is to
keep your body washed. because the
millions OF pores In tho 80 feet of
bowels quickly absorb poisons gem
