"Nothing will relieve
the headache
so quickly and surely .
. . as hot
baths . . . ."
"Just why any human
being cannot understand
that acidity
of
the stomach means
overeating, I
cannot see."
"Cancer
is a sure sign of filth
in the body. . . . Never
neglect the use of the Vaginal
Douche. Never
allow Constipation
to get a hold on you . .
. ."
"There is one
condition that nearly
every woman suffers with
that makes
childbirth
very hard and
that is Constipation.
. . . [T]here is more
medicine sold for
constipation than all
other conditions put
together, and
not one of them will do
the work . . . ."
