Constipation is largely responsible for auto-intoxication that leads to dangerous diseases unless it is not only checked, but permanently re- lieved. Constipation, in fact, is the basis of a majority of human ail- ments which could be headed off if people would only help rid them- selves of this serious, health-under- mining condition, which can be easily done.
