distributes them throughout the system and weakens it so that we are subject to whatever disease is most prevalent. jThe nature of the illness depends on our own little weaknesses and what we are the least able to resist. These facts are all scientifically correct in every particular and it has often surprised me that they are not more generally known and appreciated. All we have to do is to consider the treatment that we have received in illness to realize fully how it developed and the methods used to remove it. So you see that not only is accumulated waste directly and constantly pulling down our efficiency by making our blood poor and our intellect dull — our spirits low and our ambitions weak, but it is responsible through its weakening and infecting processes for a list of illnesses that if catalogued here would seem almost unbelievable. It is the direct and immediate cause of that very expensive and dangerous complaint — appendicitis. If we can successfully eliminate the waste, all our functions work properly and in accord — there are no poisons being taken up by the blood, so it is pure and imparts strength to every part of the body instead of weakness— there is nothing to clog up the system and make us bilious, dull and nervously fearful. With everything working in perfect accord and without obstruction, our brains are clear, our entire physical being is competent to respond quickly to every requirement, and we are ioo per cent, efficient. Now this waste that I speak of cannot be thoroughly removed by drugs, but even if it could, the effect of these drugs on the functions is very unnatural, and if continued becomes a periodical necessity. Note the opinions on drugging of two most eminent physicians : Prof. Alonzo Clark, M.D., of the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons, says, "All of our curative agents are poisons, and as a consequence, every dose diminishes the patient's vitality." Prof. Joseph M. Smith, M.D., of the sfeirse school, says, "All medicines which enter the circulation poison the blood in the same manner as do the poisons that produce disease." Now, the internal organism can be kept as sweet and pure and clean as the external and by the same natural, sane method — bathing. By the proper system warm water can be introduced so that the colon is perfectly cleansed and kept pure. There is no violence in this process — it seems to be just as normal and natural as washing one's hands. Physicians are taking it up more widely and generally every day and it seems as though everyone should be informed thoroughly on a practice, which, though so rational and simple, is revolutionary in its accomplishments. This is rather a delicate subject to write of exhaustively in the public press, but Chas. A. Tyrrell, M.D., has prepared an interesting treatise on "Why Man of To-day Is Only 50 Per Cent. Efficient," which treats the subject very exhaustively and which he will send without cost to anyone addressing him at 134 West 65th Street, New York, and mentioning that they have read this article in The Motion Picture Story Magazine. Personally I am enthusiastic on Internal Bathing because I have seen what it has done in illness as well as in health, and I believe that every person who wishes to keep in as near a perfect condition as is humanly possible should at least be informed of this subject; he will also probably learn something about himself which he has never known through reading the little book to which I refer.
