Do
not
acquire
the
idea
that
the
bowels
must
move
at
a
certain
time
each
day
with
unintermitted
regularity,
for
they
are
subject
to
the
same
extent
as
the
appetite
to
what
might
be
termed
idiosyncrasies,
according
to
environment
and
other
influences.
For
instance,
you
are
not
always
hungry
at
meal-time.
Occasionally
you
eat
very
little
or
skip
one
or
more
meals,
and
it
would
be
a
serious
mistake
to
goad
your
appetite
with
some
stimulant
or
to
eat
a
meal
without
an
appetite.
One
can
hardly
say
that
to
force
a
bowel
movement
when
its
necessity
is
not
naturally
indicated
is
as
harmful
as
to
eat
a
meal
when
it
is
not
craved,
but
unquestionably
it
is
of
advantage
to
have
the
bowels
move
of
their
own
accord,
as
the
result
of
a
natural
impulse.
Movements
that
do
not
come
through
the
call
of
an
instinct
for
relief
are
rarely
satisfactory,
and,
though
we
strongly
emphasize
the
necessity
of
regularity
of
the
bowels,
it
is
not
absolutely
necessary
that
this
call
should
come
at
a
certain
time
during
each
day;
and
though
it
is
undoubtedly
of
some
advantage
if
such
is
the
case,
yet
so
long
as
there
is
one
evacuation
each
day
of
the
satisfactory
sort
described,
you
can
be
assured
that
your
alimentary
canal
is
in
a
normal
and
healthy
condition.
However,
should
the
bowels
fail
to
move
at
the
regular
time
this
need
not
cause
concern
if
you
are
feeling
"up
to
the
mark,"
and
there
are
no
other
symptoms
that
would
indicate
possible
trouble.
I
mention
this
alimentary
peculiarity
to
enable
my
readers
to
avoid
the
slavish
idea
that
it
is
impossible
to
be
in
health
unless
the
bowels
move
at
certain
times
with
clock-like
regularity.
