Chapter XIII: The Ashes of the System.1835
out, the balance remaining to clog up the colon. Next day a little more is
added, and so on, until a case of chronic constipation is manifested, with
all its attendant evils, such as dyspepsia, biliousness, liver troubles, kidney
troubles—in fact, all diseases are encouraged, and many of them directly
caused by this filthy condition of the colon. Half of the cases of female
trouble are caused or aggravated by this condition.
The absorption by the blood of the faecal matter in the system, is
occasioned in two ways, first, the desire and need of the body for fluids;
second, a desperate effort of nature to throw off the waste matter by the
skin, the kidneys and the lungs. Foul perspiration and foul breath are often
caused by this effort of nature to get rid of what should have passed from
the colon. Nature recognizes the great source of danger of allowing this foul
mass to stay in the system, and so resorts to the desperate plan of throwing
it off in other ways, even at the risk of half-poisoning the blood and body
in so doing. The best proof of the number of physical ailments and disease
caused by this unnatural state of the colon, is the fact that when the cause
is once removed people begin to recover from many ailments apparently
unconnected with the cause. In addition to the fact that diseases are caused
and encouraged by this state of the colon, it is a fact that one is far more
likely to contract contagious diseases, and diseases like typhoid fever, etc.,
by reason of a neglected colon furnishing a fine breeding place for the
germs of these diseases. In fact a man who keeps his colon clean and healthy,
is believed to run but very little risk of diseases of this kind. Just imagine
what must be the result when we carry a sewer around inside of us—is it
any wonder that diseases which are occasioned by filthy conditions outside
thrive on like condition inside of the body? Use a little reason, friends.
Now that we have said enough to call your attention to the seat of many
troubles (we could fill hundreds of pages with still stronger remarks on
this subject) you are perhaps in a condition to ask: “Well, I believe that all
this is true, and that it explains much that has been troubling me, but what
must I do to get rid of that foul condition, and to regain and keep normal
