system, which manifest as the various “diseases” (which are really symptoms
of one fundamental cause), have their origin in these poisonous germs
arising from the putrid excrement impacted in the Colon, as we have stated
above. These germs have been generated in the foul breeding place, and
have been absorbed into the circulation and have thence passed to all parts
of the system carrying in themselves the seeds of disease, decay and death.
Therefore it follows that instead of treating “symptoms” it would be wiser to
strike right at the root of the trouble and remove the conditions which have
brought about the various ailments.
How can one enjoy health if he has within his system a foul, clogged up
sewer, which sends its poisonous influences in all directions, affecting every
organ and part of the body. What would be thought of a city which allowed
such a condition in its main sewers—a foulness which sent its poisonous
sewer-gas and germs into every house in the town? Would not the people
arise in their might and insist upon a thorough cleansing process and a
subsequent method of preventing a return of a like condition? Then why
should not everyone pursue a similar policy in regard to the foul sewer
which seven-tenths of them are carrying around with them. The cause is
usually to be found in ignorance of the true condition of things, and it is the
purpose and intent of books like the present one to throw light upon this
dark subject, in order that people may make haste to remove the existing
abnormal condition, and return once more to a normal, natural condition
of life.
It is more than the mere heavy condition and ordinary symptoms
of Constipation that we are now urging you to fight. Far more—it is the
infected blood supply—the tainted fountain of life. It is the clogged up
Small Intestine and Stomach, which arises from the fullness of the Colon
preventing the ordinary passage of the food along the natural channels,
which in turn manifests in Indigestion, Dyspepsia, etc. The food being
retained in the Stomach and Small Intestines far beyond its natural time, is
apt to ferment and throw off acid substances, which aid in poisoning the
