CLINICAL CONCLUSIONS CONCERNING
CONSTIPATION

apparently In perfect health, who nave
had bowel movements but once IN TWO
days. In older articles that | reao,
one said that il was the experience OF
every medical man Of any considerable
practice, that there are persons whose
habit is TO have a bowel movement out
once a week 4 few years ago (hat
would mean many years ago now the
cases were very numerous Indeed. ano
the reason that they are not SO num-
erous now Ia because the medical men
have impressed upon the patient that
a daily evacuation Is important. This
author also stated that he had had a
patient Mt Stephan Green. a lady whose
habit II was from childhood to have
her bowels relieved once fortnight and
II they moved oftener she felt weak and
exhausted
DR.. Kellogg. OF Battle Creek, wouldn't
agree that a person could live three
weeks without a bowel movement. for
he thinks that an individual to have
perfect health should have a bowel
movement three or four times day. In
the diet he advises to bring on such
frequent evacuation. he gives enough
brand every day to furnish the bulk
necessary.
II seems TO ne the concensuS OF opln-
ion that II there is good bowel move
ment once e. day. that 1t will clean
out the tract so there Is no danger OF
any absorption.
I think that in many instances the
dangers Of constipation. at least for
some persons are over-estima ted. Per-
haps some Of the supposed effects OF
constipation are due 10 the worry over
the condition--and the worry, Of course.
as ! have explained in a previous art!-
Gle, makes the constipation worse. and
so there Is a vicious circle. However,
there is no reason why any OF US should
be constipated Il We don't want TO be,
and tomorrow 7 will conclude this series
on constipation and give you the meth
DDS to relieve II.
