. Constipation
The Insidious
Enemy of Health
Bowel Movement Traced
to Nerve Action
Coiistir11'011 wit1' its uttl'll(l
iug, disorders is one of the most
common of nil human disorders,
iffccting people of all nations,
and is important interest to
both those affected and all in
terested in promoting health.
It is strange to note but few
people realize or know just
what constitutes constipation or
bow it is caused. This is cer
tainly important to the practi
tioner that he may speedily rec
tify the trouble and equally im
portant to the patient that he
may intelligently seek the as
sistance of those-pursuing ra
tional and scientific methods of
practice, thereby eliminating
iliat prolonged period of experiment.
Obstinate constipation is a
term applied to those cases that
cannot be reached by ordinary
methods of physic. It results
from prolonged overstimulation
of the intestines by physic un
til they 'become weak and re
fuse to work.
It has been adequately prov
en by scientific experiment that
' the act of digestion and the pro
pulsion of the contents of the
bowels is produced and regu
lated by the 'brain through the
spinal cord and spinal nerves
which carry energy from the
brain to all parts of the body.
We all know that when a man's
hack is broken his legs and also
bowels are paralyzed because
the spinal, cord is pressed upon
the bone which is very much
harder than nerve tissue.
' From this evident fact dcl'i
eient pcristatic motion must re
sult from a lack of energy from
the brain, which prevents this
energy from reaching the intes
tines. There is but one ana-
i tomioal reason eapablo'of caus
ing this, that can readily he
demonstrated by the Chiroprac
tor.
The nerves distributed to the
intestines emit from the lower
part of ,thc spine between the
vertebrae, or spinal segments,
and these segments arc slightly
movable and are capable of be
ing displaced by lifts, falls, etc.
If through some slight accident
one of those bones is displaced
or put out of the proper align
ment it will press upon the
nerves that pass between them,
and as bone is hard and nerve
tissue soft and sensitive, the re
sult is evident. The nerve then
is unable to do its normal work,
the energy fails to reach the in
testines, and the intestines fail
to act because of a lack of force
or power supplied by these
nerves. The only way to rectify
this i.s to relieve or remove the
pressure from the affected
nerve by the proper spinal ad
justment, given by nn intelli
gent Chiropractor. Kffeets may
be treated for a lifetime with
out permanent results, for they
ran only be attained by remov
ing the cause.
There arc thousands of satis
fied patients today who know
and can testify as to the merits
of Chiropractic in dealing with
his and other ailments which
arc common in people the world
over.

ot Jumping at conclusions.
"r'llgue," I proceeded cautiously,
"what was In the pocket of Mrs.

"Kou have not guessed?"
"I wuuldu't have asked you If 1

Flique chuckled, seemingly un-

"Was not Friday madame'a birth

If this was Intended to enlighten'
me. It didn't. On Friday evening,
I recalled, Flique bad offered Mrs.
Parados his congratulations on tbe

passed out of tbe patio In silence.

thought. I trailed him silently.
Suddenly a long steel rod, wblcb
leaned against tbe -wall beblnd the
lathe, attracted his attention and
he pounced upon It.
"C're tiom de nom" be wbtepered
The rod, rusted bere and there,
was some four feet long and per-

One end ot It was fitted Into a sort
of "head" slightly thicker tban tbe

an adjustable tooth-like device, the
tooth being almost flush wltb ne

with excitement.
"What Is It?" I demanded, tor
gelling my resolution to keep quiet.

c'.iiickled and twirled bl mustache.
"Grainger, you think?" He
dropped the shavings Into an en

friend, they are living tissue, those
shavings and that steel rod, and yon

his pink head sorrowfully. "But yon

"They really tell you something?"
