faeces are ancient. Prompt discharge of food refuse is indicated by more or
less yellow color. Absorption of the faeces from the colon leads to a great
many different symptoms, amongst others anaemia (or bloodlessness) with
its results, sallow or yellow complexion, with its chloasmic spots, furred
tongue, foul breath and muddy coat of the eye. Such patients have digestive
fermentations to torment them, resulting in flatulent distension which
encroaches on the cavity of the chest, which in excessive cases may cause
short and rapid breathing, irregular heart action, disturbed circulation in
the brain, with vertigo and headache. An overdistended caecum, or sigmoid
flexure, from pressure, may produce dropsy, numbness or cramps in the

Hindu-Yogi teachings of “Hatha Yoga.”
As the reader will have seen by this time, the conditions that make the
application of the Internal Bath a necessity, arise from a violation of some

arising from the unnatural retention of excrement in the colon. He does
not need the Internal Bath, for the conditions which the latter relieves do
not exist in his case. But now that the unnatural conditions are so prevalent,
it is important that Science shall come forward with a method which will
remove the obstructions which have been allowed to accumulate, and at
the same time to point out ways in which a recurrence of the trouble shall
be impossible.
Perhaps the worst feature about an impacted Colon is that it becomes
the breeding place for innumerable germs of disease which are absorbed in
the circulation and which are thus carried to all parts of the body poisoning
and infecting the various organs and parts. Eminent investigators whose
attention has been directed toward this important subject, have discovered
that a majority of the abnormal and diseased conditions of the human
