C omplaint* of irrogularities of
tin digestive tract are about the
most common symptoms of dis-
comfort that arc known. For sontj
reason, however, when the irre-
gularities are congestion or lack
of elimination, most people think
fcfcey can handle the matter by self
doctoring, whereas if tin- discom-
fort stems from exc essive eliminu-
they will much sooner call the
doctor.
The discomforts . f congestion
may become evident any place a-
lor.jr the alimentary canal, that
digestive tract is so important to
your health, and could logically
be called indigestion any place a-
loofi the line The term "indig'-*-
lion" is usually synonymous with
hi artburn, lielching and regur'ji-
tat ion, however, beitix confined to
the upper portions of the digestive
tract, considered a slow movement
of food into the Htomuch.
When the discomforts of diges-
tion moves into the stomach mini
intestines, nine out of ten people
will refer to it as a stomach ache,
ami when there is congestion in
thi bowel or low in the digestive
tract it is usually brandad con-
stipation. Since the popular MM

arc among the leaders in the field
of ailments as fur as number of
possible causes, too, and the treat*
menl for one cause may be the
wrongest kind of treatment when
th' discomfort stems from some
other origin. In hit or miss home
doctoring, you might hit upon the
right remedy; but if you miss, you
can make matters worse. Occas-
ional attacks of congestion may
mean little beyond the fact that
you ate too fast or too much or
were under a strain at the time
of eating; persistent attacks may
have a much more serious mean-
ing and should always prompt you
to seek medical advice.
The discomforts of excessive eli-
mination such as nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea are more dramatic
than congestion ailments usually
ano are more inclined to send you
seeking medical attention.
Your eating habits play an im-
portant part in your digestive ha
bits; when you change your diet
dn.stically, you can normally ex-
pect some change in the way th"
digestive tract reacts to the new
routine. As you grow older you
probably eat less food and take
less exercise and can expect a
change in the process of elimina-
tion of waste materials. If you
eat more food or the same amount
and still take less exerrise as you
go from youth to middle age, you
can still expect a change in the
regularity of your digestive tract.
Constipation may not mean th"
same to you as It does to your
doctor. Since most people develop
a habit of a daily bowel movemeru,
they may consider any change
from that as constipation, start
worrying about it, and decide it'-,
making them uncomfortable. A
great many normal people do not
have daily emptying of the waste
materials of the body from the
bowels but do have o certain ri
villarit>• in elimination, though it
may be every two days or so. Th it
is not constipation: an upset in
the regularity of bowel movement
is riot necessarily constipation,
constipation is generally consid-
i red the passing of hard, dry
stools Pinrrhon. at the other ex-
treme, is generally considered the
passing of watery stools.
The fluids which aid in the di-
gestion of food in the body nre
absorbed when the food is in the
large intestine. Anything that
keepj, the food in the intestine too
long, and the causes may lie many
find different, may lead to hard,
dty stools. Anything that speeds
•!h material throrgh the intestine
too fast may ioud • watery stools,
because there is not enough time
for the water to be absorbed.
The causes of persistent const i
pat ion or diarrhea are many und
run be minor or quite serious. Al-
ternate periods of constipation and
diarrhea are considered a particul-
arly important symptom of possi-
ble aerious threat to your health.
Nervousness and fatigue may be
one cause of digestive irregularity.
K< tiessness and a constant fee-
ing of tiredness in themselves may
be one of the important symptoms
of sickness, either coining together
or alone. Like all symptoms that
are possible threats to your well-
being, it is not the occassional ap-
pearance of discomfort from any
cause but the persistent return
