s, cold hands
and feet, biliousness, sallow skin and muddy complexion, liver spots,
coated tongue and a "bad breath," nervousness, melancholia, various
abnormal conditions and diseases of the skin, pimples, blackheads,
eruptions, eczema, piles, appendicitis, diseases of the intestinal wall
as a result of the constipation, Bright's disease of the kidney, and
many other morbid conditions. Any physician could name many symptoms,
which were never properly understood but which are now known to be
caused by the absorption of poisons resulting from inactivity of the
bowels. Patients may not necessarily have all of the above symptoms;
they may have a number of them, or they may have all of them, and they
may have others not mentioned at all.

TREATMENT OF CONSTIPATION IN WOMEN.--To effect a movement of the bowels
in a patient who is a victim of constipation is not a cure. We can
indefinitely cause bowel action by drugs, etc., but the condition will

underlying condition affecting the entire system which indicates that
something is radically wrong. It may be necessary to change the whole
routine of the patient's life. It will certainly be necessary at the
very beginning to inquire into the daily diet, exercise, and

During the past ten years there has been born every few days a new
medical "ism," a new religious cult. Why? Because human nature is an
unstable equation. We are never satisfied with the old order of things
and there will always be a following wherever there is a leader. These
"isms" and cults do not survive. Some seem to thrive, others die a
natural death. There is a law, as old as the hills, that you cannot get
something for nothing in this world. We learn its bitter truth as the
years pass, and when we get over the day dreams and the sentiment of
youth we settle down to real work. If we desire to retain good health,
or regain lost health, we must do something. No one can hand it to us on
a silver plate, nor can anyone work a miracle in our behalf. We cannot
buy health, we must deserve it.

This is the secret of the success of all schemes to cure disease. The
human family will not knuckle down and swallow the truth. The man or
woman in poor health is looking for Aladdin's lamp everywhere and
always. A new bait, dressed up in lubricated, oily words, promising
impossible results, will be accepted as the simple unadorned truth, and
