Intestinal Ills Part 14

I lose all patience with persons urging this objection. Those that have little or no system with their daily duties seldom have time to do anything of importance. They suffer from "haphazarditis," a very difficult disease to cure, and they are in many cases hopeless. Usually they are an uncleanly lot of people, full of good intentions, but their intentions though taken often, seldom operate as an antidote to foulness. Their one sigh the livelong day is: "Oh, could we be like birds that can stool while on the wing or on foot!" This feat of time-saving being hardly possible in the present incarnation and order of society, they content themselves with making a storehouse out of the intestinal ca.n.a.l for an indefinite length of time as they concern themselves with external affairs of work or sport. A sorry lot they are indeed when they are laid up for repairs. Many doctors, I am sorry to say, encourage with a chuckle this foolish practice. "Any time to stool you can manage to get, so that you stool at least once a day, or once in every two or three days; stool when it is normal for you to do so."

This criminal advice just suits the sleepy, the lazy, or the "awfully busy."

The American habit of doing things en ma.s.se, of handling things in large quant.i.ties or in bulk, has something to do with their don't care constipated habit. Small evacuations two or three times a day seem too much like small business, which, of course, is a waste of precious time. Wholesaling, laziness, lack of system, hurry, are the cause of good-for-nothingness of body and mind. _It should never be too much trouble to restore the lost impulse for stooling twice or thrice daily._

Is it a small matter to have the main sewer of a city partly or entirely closed, or the main sewer pipe of a dwelling stopped up? Think of the dire results, notwithstanding that the windows and doors remain wide open! The Board of Health would soon deal with the negligent official or landlord. With very few exceptions, "civilized" men, women, and children are negligent and n.i.g.g.ardly caretakers of the human dwelling place--the marvellous body of man. "Lack of time," "haven't the time," or "no time," is the excuse they give themselves and others.

Notwithstanding the numberless victims around them, none of these negligent and n.i.g.g.ardly ones seem to get alarmed until the secondary symptoms, such as indigestion, gout, rheumatism, or disease of some vital organ, are sufficiently annoying to demand attention. But I have full faith in humanity. Man does the best he knows how, as a general rule. But often he doesn't know how; he needs enlightening.

The hints I have given will, I am confident, be considered and acted upon by all to whose attention they are brought, for by acting upon them, normal bodies and minds will result, and blessings attained heretofore considered impossible. Normal health depends on right doing and being. Eternal vigilance is the price to be paid for the attainment and maintenance of the goal of normal life and progress. Eliminate all waste material from the body and all s.h.i.+fty vermin from the mind, and the millennium for all things in the universe will soon dawn.

FOURTEEN REASONS

WHY WE SHOULD BATHE INTERNALLY AS WELL AS EXTERNALLY

1. Because very few persons are free from chronic inflammation of the a.n.u.s, r.e.c.t.u.m, and sigmoid flexure, which causes contraction of the caliber of the organs.

2. None escape self-poisoning from the gastro-intestinal ca.n.a.l. Many are constantly being poisoned from the entrance of bacterial and other toxic substances into the system.

3. Nine-tenths of the ills that afflict mankind have their origin in a foul digestive apparatus and a consequently poisoned body.

4. Disease of the a.n.u.s, r.e.c.t.u.m, and sigmoid flexure results in from two-thirds to three-fourths of the feces being daily absorbed into the system.

5. Feces unduly retained become very foul or malodorous. If the feces of birds and domestic fowls and animals were as obnoxious as that usually ejected by man their discharges would require immediate removal from human neighborhoods.

6. Man is the only creature that has formed the habit of making a fecal cesspool of his large intestine; hence his diseases of many varieties.

There is nothing wholesome about him and he is quite dest.i.tute of vim, vigor, and push. The fecal poisoning of his parents is stamped upon him, and the unhygienic condition of his bowels makes matters worse.

7. Man needs to form the habit of stooling as frequently as birds, fowls, and quadrupeds--at least as many times in twenty-four hours as he partakes of food.

8. Making a reservoir of the lower bowels is not a time-saving habit, but, on the contrary, a breeder of many poisons, causing all sorts of acute and chronic diseases, which demand much time and attention, as countless numbers know to their sorrow.

9. You are a factor in the social and business world; then why not look, feel, and be your best by simply adopting internal hygienic measures?

10. By the use of the Internal J.B.L. Cascade Bath you can secure two or three stools a day, as desired; and while you are preventing self-poisoning you are regaining a normal habit and natural health, which for so many years and generations have been denied you. Do not longer perpetuate the dire results of a foul alimentary ca.n.a.l and consequently diseased body.

11. All desire to be strong and healthy, and many would add beauty of form and complexion, which is also commendable. This can be attained by preventing disease through hygienic attention and the proper use of water.

12. The gastro-intestinal ca.n.a.l is a physiological, moving food supply for the body, and, like any other vessel that has contained fermenting substances, it should be emptied and cleaned before a fresh supply is put into it. This is only a sensible, reasonable, and cleanly duty to one's self.

13. Who can fear being made sick by adopting cleanly habits? You have perhaps tried all other means to keep well, and have failed; now try intestinal cleanliness--a method you should have thought of long ago.

14. Every one desires to avoid surgery, the taking of numerous medicines, and the spending of money in that way--and they _can_ be avoided if you keep _clean_, both internally and externally.

You're Not Healthy Unless You're Clean INSIDE

And the one way to real internal cleanliness--by which you are protected against ninety per cent of all human ailments--is through _proper_ internal bathing, with plain antiseptic warm water.

There is nothing unusual about this treatment--no drugs, no dieting--nothing but the correct application of Nature's own cleanser.

But only since the invention of the J.B.L. Cascade has a means for _proper_ internal bathing existed.

Only one treatment is known for actually cleansing the colon without the aid of elaborate surgical apparatus. This is

THE INTERNAL BATH By Means of the J.B.L. Cascade

Prof. Metchnikoff, Europe's leading authority on intestinal conditions, is quoted as saying that, if the colon and its poisonous contents were removable, people would live in good health to twice the present average of human life.

Dr. A. Wilfred Hall, Ph.D., L.L.D., and W. E. Forest, B.D., M.D., two world-famous authorities on internal bathing, are among the thousands of physicians who have given their hearty and active endors.e.m.e.nt and support to the J.B.L. Cascade treatment.

Fully half a million men and women and children now use this real boon to humanity--most of them in accordance with their doctor's orders.

Dr. Tyrrell's Health Soap

Effectually Disposes of Troubles. It Is Refres.h.i.+ng, Purifying, Invigorating

Among the necessities of life there is one to which few people pay the attention they ought, and that is Soap. Yet it is undoubtedly a most important matter, for the skin is a very delicate and sensitive organ, and the constant application of impure or inferior Soaps injures its texture, and gives rise to numerous cutaneous troubles. Most people are content, so long as it appeals to the eye and the sense of smell, without stopping to consider that perfumes may be employed to hide defects.

Dr. Tyrrell has given this matter long and profound consideration and now offers to the public a SOAP that leaves nothing to be desired. It is not only absolutely free from any deleterious substance, but is a perfect antiseptic and healing soap. Its use thoroughly cleanses and invigorates the skin, keeps it soft, flexible and healthy, and effectually prevents rough, cracked and scaly conditions. It is invaluable for TAN, FRECKLES, SUNBURN, Etc., and is a perfect hygienic safeguard against cutaneous disorders. It is a positive pleasure to use it for the toilet or bath, as it leaves such a grateful, refres.h.i.+ng after-effect.

As a SHAVING SOAP it is unequalled, absolutely preventing those disagreeable results that frequently follow the use of impure soap.
