Constipation can nearly always be cured by adding stewed figs, French plums, salads, etc., to one's menu, by eating brown instead of white bread, and by taking less proteid food. Tea is detrimental to many persons. The tannin contained in it toughens albuminous food, and is liable to injure the sensitive lining of the stomach. China tea is the least harmful. [Sidenote: =Rest after Meals.=] Those who work their brains or bodies actively, immediately after a solid meal, simply invite dyspepsia. The vital force required for digestion is diverted and malnutrition follows. The deluded business-man who "cannot spare the time" for a short rest or stroll after lunch, often damages his constitution and finds that he has been "penny wise and pound foolish." If the brain or body has been severely taxed, an interval of rest should be secured before food is taken. It is not _what we eat_ that nourishes us, but _what we are able to assimilate_. Recreation, occasional amusement, and an interest in life are necessary. Thousands of women die from monotony and continuous domestic care; multitudes of men succumb to mental strain and incessant business anxiety. Chronic dyspeptics should reflect on these facts. Abstainers from animal-food who get into any difficulty about their diet should seek advice from those who have experience, or should consult a fruitarian physician. The local names and addresses of doctors who both practice and advise this simple and natural system of living, will be supplied upon application to the Hon. Secretary of The Order of the Golden Age. Such are increasing in number every month. [Sidenote: =Physical Vitality.=] The human body is a storage battery consisting of millions of cells in which the vital electricity that produces health, and makes life enjoyable, is accumulated. Every manifestation of physical and mental power depends upon the force stored up in this battery. The more fully charged the cells the higher the voltage, and, consequently, the greater the physical vitality and power. This voltage is always fluctuating. Expenditure of force lessens it; recuperation, through rest, sleep, the in-breathing of oxygen, and the assimilation of vital uncooked food increases it. Fruits, nuts, and root vegetables contain electrical potency--they will deflect the needle of a highly sensitive Kelvin galvanometer. But when cooked, their vital electricity is destroyed--they become _lifeless_, like flesh-food. The accumulation of vital force is a possibility if natural and vital food is selected. [Sidenote: =The Great Healer.=] All the medicines in the world are as the small dust of the balance, potentially, when weighed against this Life-force--which "healeth all our diseases and redeemeth our life from destruction." Its therapeutic phenomena are truly wonderful.
