DOES THE SYSTEM ABSORB MINERAL PROPERTIES FROM OIL TAKEN AS AN INTERNAL LUBRICANT. There is an exceedingly important feature in connection with the taking of mineral oil in the system which many have never given a thought to, and undesirable results are certain to follow if this practice is continued. Is thero any doubt that the cells of the stomach through which we draw the elements of nutrition also draw and absorb into the system this Mineral Oil? There is no doubt of this at all. and the walls of the intestines which are also covered with the Lubricant absorb this Oil as well. The entire Internal System is therefore absorbing mineral properties foreign to the Human Systemproperties that cannot help, sustain, or nourish the body. Is there any Medical Authority who values its reputation who will say this is a wise or safe course to continue. The public, who have been using an internal Lubricant in the shape of some form of Mineral Oil or Petroleum Jelly to relieve constipation are finding out that this Wholesale Lubrication of their internal organs is destroying one of Nature's most vital fluids—the Bile. Nature finds its work being done by a foreign agent, grows less and less active, and at last ceases to put forth any effort. Just as a strong arm put in a sling and given no exercise becomes weak and useless, so the continual Lubrication of the Internal, 1 Organs by Mineral Oils will surely weaken and reduce the flow of Bile. It destroys the natural movement of the Bowels, because it supersedes the flow of the Bile, and, therefore, the taking of Liquid Paraffine in any of its forms is a source of future danger to anyone so foolish to be carried away by what is nothing but a most unfortunate fad. To put it as clearly as possible, the Liver can be compared to a big sponge full of holes. It becomes covered over with a slimy substance, and these holes or ducts from which the Bile flows become stopped up. consequently the Bile is forced back into the system, producing two direct results: (a) a derangement of the entire System, and (b) Constipation, because the Bile cannot act on the waste matter in the Intestinal Canal, and it remains in th« system. This is what is commonly known as a Torpid Liver. Something is wanted to get at the cause—something that will act on the Liver and open up these ducts. Not something that will simply carry off the waste in the system, leaving it in just the same state, to "repeat over again just what has taken place. No poisonous mineral product will take the place of the Bile given each human being by an All-wise Creator to carry the waste matter out of the system and aid in the digestion and assimilation of our food. People _ resorting to this mineral oil, either in ignorance or not, and prac- | tically saying we have no further use for the Bile, we have something to relieve Constipation, that is all we care—will pay for their ignorance or impudence in thinking they can improve on the Creator's work. Sometimes Nature only requires a little assistance to get over an obstruction, and if something is used to merely give that assistance and not usurp ail Nature's functions and take the entire operation out of Nature's hands, then valuable help is being rendered. This is where the invaluable properties of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are apparent. They do not usurp Nature's functions, destroying all their natural activity, but when* Nature needs help to carry its often too heavy burden, caused by over-eating and drinking. then Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills assist Nature. They act on the stomach, and, above all, on the Liver, causing the stopped-up ducts to release the flow of the Bile that has been- withheld. It is this flow of Bile that causes the bowels to act, and any remedy that ignores this fact is causing damage to the great human mechanism. It is the constant and regular flow of Bile that aids in the digestion and assimilation of (pod, and when this flow ceases from any cause the system at once is affected throughout, and Constipation, of course, the inevitable result. For nearly a century Dr. Morse's In-1 dian Root Pills have l>een in use as a remedy for liver ailments. They get at the cause. A pill occasionally produces regularity and good health, " and with reasonable care regarding overtaxing the digestive organs with either food or drink, a healthy condition can be maintained. This is the secret of good health in man, woman, and child, and there is no getting away from it. Any fad that is based on the principle that it can take the place of the Bile is a fraud and danger, and should be speedily put where it belongs— into the oil tank for lubricating machinery, not into the human system.
