A BIT OF COLON PHYSIOLOGY

| rha corresnondent has a Scottish name, but | still | think she must be Yankee. She mas my booklet which must have cost ten cents' l so she isn't Scotch. She wants to save what she has always spent for physic, so she IS propapy Yankee, and besides she writes from way down
 east where they grow:
 l finally resolved to surrender all l. prejudices and follow your instructions to the letter. confess was not without mis- | .givings, as I had taken medicine every
 night for nearly thirty years On wed 1 nesday night I went to bed without taking l my customary little brown pill. Eacn l morning 1 re-read your booklet to bolster

 ~ After twenty to thirty years of the physic
 habit (depending on medicines, .specia, Iooos oils enemas or other artificial aids) 1t does re- ouire courage to break the habit knowleoge of physiology gives the necessary courage. Lne trouble with many victims of the napt IS that they know so many things which ainO so- things taught them by nostrum mongers, piH manufacturers, ancient and modern quacks
 about the requirements of the liver. bowels, etc. This transformation is calculated to put rear
 into the heart of the customer and Keep him forever a customer @1 ! It is hopeless to try to teach the average wiseacre layman any physiology unless you
 feed it to him in exceedingly small doses. A wee bit at time. Like feeding the bapy ms first vegetable or banana. If We open the lower colon of man or any mammal we find the contents dry and formed.
 That is the normal, natural healthy state. Yet millions of dumb mammals strive con stantly to change the colon contents to a liquid state by the habitual use of medicines queer diets, enemas colon irrigations When tneir efforts fail to achieve the desired result they
 go into deep gloom over their costive con dition and begin to look about for something more powerful in the way of remedy. One wseacre has disorganized the natural
 control of the intestine by Auerbachs piexus that it is his habit now to take large dose of salts Gin effervescent form from pretty bottle with an imposing label on it) every night on retiring, and then eating no breakIast next morning, because the poor good imagines he would suffer some dire consequence if anything more enters the colon before his salts have cleared it out On this idiotic police ne IS Just carrying on a miserable existence and piling up moro and more trouble for the future. The Yankee correspondent tells me am do- ing most helpful work The truth IS ! am just trying to nearly all of the victims seek to help so hynotized by the chariatans
 and nostrum mongers that they just can't un-
 derstand what Pm talking about, or If they understand they know must be crazy nut. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

 Answer-I cannot advise about fees Nothing have said or printed in reference to the meth- cd warrants your impression. l believe physi- clans generally charge from $100 to $500 for the complete course of treatment, or less if you are unable to pay. |'~ IodIn Ration.
