The “Cascade” should not be used within three hours after eating a full
meal, as, if both the stomach and transverse colon are distended at the
same time they press upon each other, and the stomach, being the more
sensitive of the two, nausea is likely to be produced; but although
(with the above proviso) the treatment can be used with benefit at any
period during the twenty-four hours, yet, just before retiring at night
is by far the best time to take it, for several reasons. Firstly, it is
usually the most convenient time for the majority of people. Secondly,
it invariably induces a good night’s rest; for no sleeping potion can
equal its effects in that direction. Thirdly, night is Nature’s
repairing season, when she is busy making good the ravages of the
day--replacing the waste by building fresh tissue and by putting the
system into a cleanly condition and purifying the blood current; at that
season you are co-operating with Nature and may confidently expect, and
will undoubtedly secure, the best results.
After using the “Cascade” it is quite possible that there may not be a
movement of the bowels until late the following day. This must not be
considered as evidence of constipation, but simply a lack of matter to
discharge. In a perfectly natural condition of existence there should be
at least two movements of the bowels during the day, but it must be
remembered that the human system has acquired bad habits, and it will
require some time before perfect conditions are re-established. If,
however, from a half pint to a pint of hot water is sipped in the
morning, certainly not less than half an hour before breakfast, it will
stimulate the bowels to action, even though the “Cascade” had been used
the night before, while its cleansing effect upon the stomach will
assist the digestive functions in a marked degree.

It may be accepted as a truism that success invariably excites envy,
therefore, it is but reasonable that the astounding results that have
attended this method of treatment should have aroused a certain amount
of antagonism. The hardy individual who dares to propose a new departure
in the method of treating disease must be prepared to hear his theories
ridiculed, his system denounced, and, possibly, his motives impugned.
Consequently, it is not surprising that the “Cascade Treatment” has some
objections urged against it.
The first objection I am confronted with is, “it is not natural.” I
willingly concede that point, and will add that neither is an obstructed
and engorged colon natural.
