THE TRUTH

— 14 ABOUT INTERNAL LUBRICATION. The public who have been using an Internal Lubricant in the shape of eomo iorm of Mineral Oil or Petroleum Jelly to relieve constipation, are finding out that. this wholesale lubrication of their internal organs is destroying ono of Natures most vital flui'ls-tlie bile. Nature finds its work being done by a foreign agent, grows less and less active, and at last ceases' to put forth any effort. Just as a strong arm put in a sling and given no exercise becomes weak and useless, so tho continual lubrication of the internal organs by mineral oils will surely weaken find reduce the flow ,of bite. It destroys the natural movement of the bowels, because it supersedes the flow of the bile, and, therefore, the -taking of liquid paraffin in any of its forms is a source of future danger to anyone 'So foolish to be earned away by what is nothing but an unfortunate fad.

Again, there is an exceedingly important feature in connection with the taking oi mineral oil in tho system which many have never given a thought to, and undesirable Jesuits are certain to follow ii this practice is continued. Is there onj doubt that t tlio cells of the stomach through which we draw Hie elements of nutrition also draw and absorb into the system this mineral .oil? There is no doubt of this at all, and the walls of the intestines which are also coverod with the lubricant absorb this oil as well. Tho entire' intomal system is therefore absorbing mineral properties foreign to the human system—proper ties that cannot held, sustain, or nourish the body. Is there any medical authority who values his reputation who will say this is a wise or safe course to continue. I To put it as v clearly as possible, the liver can be compared to a big sponge full of holes, ilt becomes covered over with a slimy substance, and these holes or ducts from which the bil<) flows become stopped up, consequently tho bilo is forced back into the system, producing two direct results—(a) a derangement of the entire system, and (b) constipation, because tho bile cannot act on the waste matter in the intestinal canal, and it remains in the system. This is what is commonly kuown as a torpid liver. Something is wanted to get at the cause—something that will act on the liver and open up these ducts. Not something that will simply carry off the waste in the system, leaving it in just tho same state to repeat over again just what has taken place. No poisonous mineral product will take the place of the bilo given each human being by an All-wise Creator to carry the waste matter _ out of tho system and m the digestion and assimilation of our food., Peoplo resorting to this mineral oil, either in ignorance or not, and practically saying we have io further use tor the bile, wo have something to relievo constipation, that is all wo care—will pay for their ignorance or impudence in thinking they can improve on the Creator's work. i Sometimes Nature only requires a littlo assistance to get over an obstruction, and if something is used to .merely give that assistance and not usurp all Nature's lunctions and take tho entire operation out of Nature's hands, then valuable help is This is where the invaluable properties of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are apparent. They do not usurp Nature's functions, destroying all their natural activity, but when Nature needs help to carry its often too heavy burden, caused by over-eating and drinking, then Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pijls assist Nature. They act on the stomach, and, above all, on'the liver, causing the stopped-up ducts to releaso the flow of Bilo that has been withheld. It is this flow of bile'that causes the bowels to act, and any remedy that ignores this fact is causing damage to Iho great human mechanism. It is the constant and regular flow of bile that aids in the digestion and assimilation of food, and when this flow ceases from any cause the system at once is affected throughout, and constipation, of course, tho inevitable result.

For nearly a century Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills liavo boon in use as a remedy for liver ailments. They get at the cause. A. pill occasionally produces regularity and food health, and with reasonable care regarding overtaxing the digestive organs with either food or drink, a healthy condition win ho maintained. This is the secret of good health in man, woman, and child, and there is no getting away from it. Any medical fad that is based on the principle that it tan take the place of the bilo is a. fraud and a danger, and should bo speedily put where it belongs—back into the oiltaiik for lubricating machinery. not into ths human system.
