This is a matter which is commonly
neglected. The importance of a regular habit in this respect cannot be >exaggerated; the bowels should always be relieved at a particular time
each day. Where this does not occur the condition of _constipation_
results. Owing to the retention of the fæces in the intestines beyond
the normal period, the stomach and higher parts of the intestines do
not perform their functions normally; indigestion and “dyspepsia,” >accompanied by headache, flatulence, and other symptoms follow.
Hæmorrhoids (piles) are another frequent consequence. At the junction
of the small and large intestines is a dilated sac (in the cæcum)
