"■ EMINENT'BRITISH MEDICAL AUTHORITY ■ | • WARNS AGAINST THE: USE: OF I | LIQUID PARAFFIN | That Medical Men of the ' highest. sta*h&ing ; '; are "viewing' 'the I I taking of Liquid Paraffin with disfavor is abundantly evident | I from a report taken from the English "Chemist. §•, | supplement of March 13th, 1915, which reajds:^-^'" 4 ' ' | 1 PETROLEUM ■■ AS A . ' J / I Dr. W. Allan Jamieson writes as follows in the" British Medical^Jourhal" 1 §1 | (1., 1915, p. 445) regarding the use of Petroleum as an /habitual laxative: . "Purified Petroleum, or refined liquid Paraffin) has come to be a popular remedy.for Icon- 'i? 5 ■ stipation, and is extensively prescribed and taken. Its action as a laxative is not merely that --..iS m of a lubricant oil, though it passes unchanged through the bowels. Were it so, then' Cod Liver . | J Oil would act as an aperient; while, on the contrary, it but seldom increases the diarrhoea •*p ggj in phthisis.. Petroleum, therefore, must operate as Castor Oil and Crbtop Oil do, by irritating '§j| ' -.7 || the lining of the intestines; causing an augmented flow of mucus, and at the same time in- - l 'II ■ H creasing peristalsis. I would, therefore, warn against the persistent or habitual use of Petroleum 'fi ; P as a laxative, especially if, as Sir William Whitla states in the tenth cdition of his' Pharmacy' ■ 'M • pi • • published this year, doses as large, as , two ounces are taken, Time enough t<s ? ® | , decide this question of/danger, but-1 would sound.a note of warning." ■ , |jj §. The jJUblic Who have been using an Internal. Lubricant in the shape of some form of' Mineral Oil or P&fbleum'. i I ' Jelly to relieve constipation are gradually finding out that this wholesale lubrication of their internal organs is? % W destroying one.of Nature's most vital fluids—the Bile. Nature finds its work being done by a foreign agent,, p If 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! 1 1' no exercise becomes weak and useless, so the continual Lubrication of the Internal Organs by Mineral Oilswilft. || 1 surely weaken and reduce the flow of Bile. It destroys the natural movement of the Bowels, because it super-'; ';! .. w> .sedes the flow of the Bile, and, therefore, the taking of Liquid Paraffin in any of its forms is a .; gph danger to anyone so foolish as to be carried away by what is nothing but a most unfortunate fad..... • '■41 li • Again, there is an exceedingly important feature in connection with the taking of Mineral, Gil into the||§ ■ §j? system, which many have never given a thought to, and undesirable results are certain to follow if this practice . i ? is continued. Is 1 there any doubt that the cells of the stomach through which we draw the elements of nutrition . 'Jlj ' I-: also draw and absorb into the system this Mineral Oil? There is no doubt of this at all,and the walls of the? 'M\ : ' § ' intestines which are also covered with the. Lubricant absorb this Oil as well. The entire Internal system is If,. I therefore absorbing mineral properties foreign to the Human System — properties that cannot help sustain or Wt i| nourish the body. Is.there-any Medical Authority who values its reputation who will.say this is a wise or safe;; ;.~ M course to continue ? \ ... H To put it as clearly as possible, the Liver ,can'be compared to a big sponge?full-of holes. .It becomes covered over with a slimy, sub- If P stance, and these holes or ducts, from which the Bile flows, become stopped up; consequently the ■Bile is forced back'into the system, 1® ; ; m producing two direct results—(a) a derangement of the entire system, and (b) Constipation,'because the Bile cann'ot act on the waste matter ifa® P in the Intestinal Canal, and it remains in the system. This is what is commonly known as a Torpid Liver. Something is wanted to get at «M . ' re the cause—something that will act on the Liver and open these ducts. Not something that will simply'carry off the waste in the system, m gf leaving it in just the same state to repeat over again just what has taken place. No poisonous mineral product will take the place of the; ® Bile given each human being by an All-wise Creator to carry the waste matter out of the system, and aid in the digestion'and assimilation) &?j§ . k of our food. People resorting to this mineral oil, either in ignorance or not, and practically saying we have no further use for the Bile, we/, S--i have something to relieve Constipation,-that-is'ali-we care-r-will pay for their ignorance, or impudence.in thinking, they can improve on itotflM p Creator's work. M b • r • . .11 m Sometimes Nature only requires a-;little assistance to get over an obstruction,; and if something is used to merely give that assistance!.^!! SB and not "usurp all Nature's functions and take the entire operation out of Nature's hands, then valuable help is being rendered. This is ' H where the invaluable properties of Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are apparent. ' They do not usurp Nature's functions, destroying all their. <h§ |a natural activity, but when Nature needs help to carry its often too heavy burden, caused by overeating and drinking, then Dr. Morse's'lndian •. g|§, • m Root Piils assist Nature. They act on the stomach, and, above all, on the Liver, causing the stopped-up ducts,to,release the flow.of Bile .. |$', m that has been withheld. It is this flow of Bile that causes the bowels to act, and any remedy that ignores this fact iscausing damage to/-"JS the great human mechanism. It is the constant and regular flow of Bile that aids in the digestion and assimilation of .food, and Ayhen M' " ! this flow ceases from any cause, the system at once is affected throughout, and Constipation, of course, the inevitable result. ' 'II ■ For nearly a century Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills have been in use as a. remedy for liver ailments. They get at the cause. A .pilli || occasionally produces regularity and good health, and with reasonable care regarding overtaxing the digestive organs with either food or drink, :M ■ ■ a healthy condition can be maintained, This is the secret of good health in man, woman, and child, and there is no getting away from it. m \ Any Medical Fad that is based on the principle that it can take the place of the Bile is a fraud |l and a danger, and .should be speedily put where it. belongs—back into the oil tank for lubricat- §p, ing machinery, not into the human system. ••••.
