matter, that demand must be obeyed

matter, that demand must be obeyed
then, and not put off. Delays and
more delays are che cause Of many dan
gerous diseases. j have observed this
especially during the recent years,
among school teachers and females
who work in offices. Opportunity for
obeying the demands of Nature are
not always at hand and the result is
frequently Bright's Disease.
My advice tossshch is to,obey and
empty the bowels when nature de
mands it, regardless ofswhose time may
be trespassed upona Your continued
good health is Of the, most importance.

Dear Doctor Reeder: have chron-

laxative and have to take laxative

times a day II seem to be putting
on surplus flesh which is,. in my opin-
ion unhealthy flesh. / simply do not
feelswell at any time. ..s. .....z.t..
Will you please give me a proper
diet regulation to aid this disorder OF
the stomach and bowels, and yet tc
reduce the flesh. Any information
! you may be able to give ME would be
greatly appreciated.
ANSWERS Il am inclined to think
that you are suffering with auto-tox.
emia or self poisoning and that the
principal difficulty is what is called
colonic constipation.
As rule, the liver acts automatical
ly, just the same as the lungs and
ltheart acts, and does not need purga'
tives or pills in order to whip it into
greater activity. Ususally, the diff.
fculty originates in carelessness, the
fault of the individual in not paying
prompt attention to the demands o.
mature. They wait until a more con
venient season-the result is that re.
verse peristalsis takes place and the
fecal matter is. carried back into the
Icolon. Sometimes this reverse peris;
|talsis is so great that the fecal matter
{ is crowded back to the ieocecal valve
inflammation of the bowels follows anc
then we have the condition known as
appendicitis, just merely a symptom
not disease in itself. Cutting out
the appendix does not remove the
cause, but before operating, most
doctors give a liberal dose OF castor
oil for clearing out the colon and aftel
that, the patient is better. &.
