clined 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.

CHAPTER XV: Pressure Movements for Building Inner Strength

Several years ago I discovered a unique and very effective means of
strengthening the heart, lungs, stomach and other internal
organs. I arranged a system of lessons, consisting of various pressure
movements, which I termed an Inner Strength Course. As my experience
with this course had been limited, I refrained at the time from
presenting its fundamental theories to the general public. I issued the
course in a series of four lessons, and the strength of each applicant
was ascertained through questions before the course was sent to him.
The experience with several hundred students, however, has so
thoroughly confirmed the value of this method of internal vitality
building that I am now in a position where I can present the ideas
upon which it is based to the general public. The usual price of this
course was five dollars, and several thousand courses were sold at
this price, each student naturally receiving a certain amount of
personal attention. The same ideas, however, are presented in this
chapter, with the warning that those who use the pressure exercises
recommended must take care to avoid pressing upon the internal organs
beyond their resisting power.

The various forms of pressure movements recommended are clearly
illustrated and those who
