    FOURTEEN REASONS Why We Should Bathe Internally as Well as Externally 1. Because very few persons are free from chronic inflammation of the anus, rectum, and sigmoid flexure, which causes contraction of the caliber of the organs. 2. None escape self-poisoning from the gastro-intestinal canal. Many are constantly being poisoned from the en- trance of bacterial and other toxic sub- stances into the system. 3. Nine-tenths of the ills that afflict mankind have their origin in a foul di- gestive apparatus and a consequently poisoned body. 4. Disease of the anus, rectum, and sigmoid flexure results in from two-thirds to three-fourths of the feces being daily absorbed into the system.
