THERE IS GREAT DANGER FROM CONSTIPATION.

This complaint is not looked upon as an evil by a great many people, and very littlo effort is made to cure it. The causes of constipation are many, but tho most frequent is carelessness of the sufferer in neglecting to respond to the calls of Nature. Women especially are great transgressors in this respect, and, consequently, they are amongst the greatest victims ,of constipation. If the waste matter in the body is not got rid of trouble is sure to follow, which sometimes loads to a most serious illness. Among other causes of constipation may be mentioned improper diet, excessive mental emotion or brain work, and neglect of exercise. In the treatment of constipation three things arc especially needful— ■ mild cathartic, proper diet, and physical exercise. Of the first and most _ important, much* can be said, but all that is necessary is, that nearly all laxative remedies sold to-day are extremely violent in their action, and therefore harmful. Bile Beans for Biliousness perforin their work gently, andean therefore be taken with perfoc.t safety. With regard to diet, all foods may be taken except those known to be indigestible ; pastry, however, should not bo taken at > all. Physical exercise, does not mean violent gesticulations for five. or ten minutes in the morning, but indulgence in a pleasure-giving exercise such as walking, rowing, or cycling, in any case not to be of a violent character. Take Bile Beans following the directions given,' observe ' regular habits, and the curing of any case of constipation is only a matter of time. The length of the cure depends upon the severity of the case.;;. . . , ..
