AT THAT IT IS A STATE OF
MIND
My heartfelt thanks writes Mrs
B. L. W. for the great help re-
ceived from you during the years I
was caring for an old Mother who
had lost her mind due to sleeping
sickness. If ever you want an
honest-to-God testimonial regard
ing your teachings on constipation
habit, as applied In the case of
person who could not think, ask me
for it! Your contentious were
proved without any question OF
doubt! (SigneO Mrs. B. L. W.
One of my contentious is that the
morbid fear of administration"
which happens only in the magma
ton, keeps many victims enslaved
to physic
Another contention of mine is
that if no physic and no enema or
other laid" of any kind were avail
able, the victim of the constipation
habit would be cured of the habit
in five days. The trick is to hold
the poor fish from his panicky de-
sire to resume taking physic for the
necessary length of time to permit
abused nature to re-establish auto
matte regulation-by the same
|>mechanism as that which auto
matically regulates breathing and
heartbeat.
The constipation or physic habit
is psychological problem. The
trouble is in the mind, not In the
bowel. The trouble is that, thanks
to generations of high pressure nos
trum and quack propaganda, on
which most people have been raised,
most people think they know
many things which amt so about
the function of the bowel and It's
relation to health and sickness.
AS long as people are in that
state of mind one might as well
holler down the rain barrel as try
to tell 'em they're fools to 60 on
like that. know, because I've been
doing my dangdest to bring 'em to
their senses for long time with
the booklet 1.-THE Constipation
Habit and Colon Hygiene (for
which I exact three-cent stamped
self addressed envelope and ten
cents) and only a precious few Of
the people get the desired results
because they are so deeply imbued
by the nostrum and quack teachings
that they just can't believe the
simple truth.
The same view of the matter,
based on a fair knowledge of ele-
mentary physiology, is comfort
able one. Only those who have
broken the habit will understand
this.
