Thirty Feet of Danger
The intestinal canal is an important part of every
individual, important every inch of its thirty feet.
The upper portion of it is intended for the diges
tion of food and absorption of its useful portions.
But the lower part is concerned with the elimina
tion of waste material.
It is, in other words, the great sewer of the body.
The more food eaten, the greater the waste. If
a sewer becomes clogged up, its contents stagnate
and become more and more dangerous.
Constipation means more than failure to evacuate
the bowels regularly and thoroughly. It means
stagnation, increased fermentation, putrefaction
and germ action. Increased amounts of irritating
and poisonous substances are formed. Absorption
of these into the blood follows. , Self-poisoning

Danger, disorder, disease, or even death follow.'
Pills, purgative mineral waters, castor oil, salts,
etc. , do not cure constipation or prevent its con
sequences. They make it worse because they do
not only Irritate the bowels, but they "wear out" '
in effect and so must be taken in increasing doses,
making constipation a habit. ,.v -. f
