Constipation causes a stoppage of
the sewerage system of the body.
The poisonous refuse matter that
should be carried away is retained in
the system and often poisons the
blood and causes numerous dis
orders. No one can afford to neglect

much water out of the system sud
their use is likely to be followed by
