Not only will the constipation grow worse with the continuance of such remedies but the dose unseen and usually unfelt, be- tween forces that seck to de- fend, and others that strive to destroy. Germs that enter from without are attacked and destroyed by the living guardians in the blood, the white blood cells or phagocytes. Poisons generated within seek entrance into the blood and are removed or de- stroyed by the functions of the intestines, liver and kidneys. Food waste allowed to stagnate and remain in the intestines, unevacuated, poisons the blood and destroys its power to de- fend against outside or inside enemies. Such self-poisoning causes over 90% of human illness, Con: stipation turns the tide of the invisible conflict against the body, in favor of the in- vaders.

On the other hand Nujol over- comes constipation and brings about the habit of easy, thor- ough bowel evacuation at reg- ular intervals, because Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any drug. Nujol brings about a return to Nature’s methods by supplying necessary lubri- cation of the bowel contents, by facilitating intestinal muscu- lar action, by absorbing poison- ous matter, and thus securing mecessary cleansing of the in- testinal canal and protection of the defensive properties of the blood itself.
