CHAPTER
VI:
Cleansing
and
Stimulating
the
Alimentary
Canal
The
alimentary
canal
has
been
rightly
termed
the
human
fire-box.
It
is
there
that
the
energy
is
created
which
runs
the
human
machine.
The
importance
of
cleanliness
in
this
part
of
the
physical
organism
cannot
be
too
greatly
emphasized.
Nearly
all
diseases
have
their
beginning
in
the
stomach
or
some
other
part
of
the
alimentary
canal.
Defective
digestion
and
imperfect
assimilation
represent
the
beginning
of
many
incurable
and
deadly
diseases.
In
seeking
methods
for
building
unusual
vigor
and
vitality,
one
of
the
first
requirements
is
definite
information
on
the
care
of
the
alimentary
canal.
Mere
regularity
of
the
bowels
does
not
in
all
cases
indicate
a
healthy
condition
of
the
stomach
and
bowels.
A
movement
in
order
to
be
of
the
right
sort
should
be
so
thorough
that
it
leaves
one
with
a
feeling
of
emptiness
and
cleanliness.
In
other
words,
you
should
feel
that
the
colon
has
been
evacuated
thoroughly.
Many
who
have
regular
bowel
movements
do
not
have
this
satisfying
sensation
afterwards.
When
the
movement
is
satisfactory
in
every
way
little
or
no
straining
is
necessary.
The
colon
simply
empties
itself
thoroughly,
and
the
evacuation
is
then
complete.
However,
few
have
movements
of
the
bowels
that
are
satisfactory
to
this
extent.
There
should
be
at
least
one
bowel
movement
of
this
kind
each
day.
Two
movements
of
this
character
would
be
better,
but
one
is
sufficient
if
thorough.
