REGULARITY OF THE BOWELS.
THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE AGAINST ILL-HEALTH. Constipation is the root of ninetenths of the sickness of man, and a large proportion of sickness of women. It’s a simple thing of itself, but, like many simple tilings, it may grow and. become complicated. When the bowels are clogged the waste matter decays and ferments and eriters the Blood, and is carried to all parts of the body, producing Headaches, Billloushess. , Sleeplessness, .Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Indigestion Neuralgia. Rheumatism and various other ali-
ments disturbing the Heart and Nervous System; and if-continued is liable to cause inliammation of the Bowels, Liver, and Kidneys. To maintain a healthy system the bowels should operate at least once every 24 hours. This is one of Nature’s wise provisions which is too often ignored, and the result is untold suffering. Women and children are the greatest offenders, but why such should be Lite case is a problem to be solved. Nature often requires a little assistance, and if this assistance Is given at the first indication much distress and suffering may be ayerted. Mothers, especially, should guard the health of their children, and inculcate regular habits from infancy. As a family Remedy for Costiveness, Dr Morse’s Indian Root Pills have a wide reputation. They are mild in their action, causing neither weakness or •sickness, and do not gripe. To overcome constipation take from one to four Pills regularly until the Bowels move dally, and are restored to healthy action.
