To
some
the
continuous
use
of
the
colon-flushing
treatment
is
inclined
to
be
debilitating
and
in
rare
cases
complaints
have
been
made
that
it
dilates
the
colon
and
weakens
its
muscular
structures.
This
is
occasionally
true
in
the
case
of
the
hot
enema.
A
fairly
cool
enema
is
less
objectionable,
while
a
cold
enema
has
a
decided
tonic
effect
in
contracting
and
strengthening
the
peristaltic
muscles.
The
cold
enema
is
less
effective
as
a
cleansing
agent,
as
it
does
not
have
the
relaxing
effect
of
the
hot
enema.
In
most
cases
an
enema
of
neutral
temperature,
or
at
about
that
of
the
body,
may
be
suggested,
though
if
one
has
been
using
this
treatment
very
much
it
would
be
better
to
use
either
a
cool
or
cold
enema,
if
strong
enough,
in
order
to
secure
its
contracting
and
tonic
effect.
If
the
cold
water
causes
cramps
one
should
modify
the
temperature.
Usually
it
is
best
to
use
plain
water
for
the
enema.
In
a
case
of
illness
where
quick
and
radical
results
are
required,
a
hot
soap-suds
enema
may
be
suggested,
but
you
should
remember
that
this
always
has
the
effect
of
removing
the
natural
oils
and
is
inclined
to
leave
the
colon
in
an
irritated
condition.
A
saline
solution
is
to
be
especially
commended
where
there
is
a
serious
catarrhal
condition
of
the
intestines,
or
where
there
is
much
inflammation
or
irritation,
such
as
might
be
manifested
in
extreme
cases
by
bloody
stools.
For
a
normal
saline
solution
use
one
teaspoonful
of
ordinary
salt
to
a
quart
of
water,
or
four
teaspoonfuls
to
a
four-quart
enema.
Glycerin
is
frequently
suggested,
but
it
is
not
to
be
generally
recommended.
If
one
follows
these
methods
persistently,
constipation,
even
in
its
most
aggravated
forms,
can
be
overcome.
In
some
instances
almost
any
one
of
the
suggestions
offered
will
bring
about
the
results
desired,
but
in
a
chronic
case
one
should
depend
not
on
one
but
on
a
combination
of
all
of
these
various
remedial
measures.
The
improvement
in
the
condition
of
your
skin,
in
the
purity
of
your
blood,
and
in
the
degree
of
energy
that
you
will
enjoy
will
more
than
repay
you
for
your
efforts
in
following
the
various
suggestions
made
for
cleansing,
strengthening,
and
vitalizing
the
alimentary
canal.
