Excerpt from Constipation, Obstipation and Intestinal Stasis (Autointoxication)

The object of this volume is to present to the profession a concise and practical treatise on the etiology, pathology, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of constipation and obstipation (intestinal obstruction), During the past fifteen years such flattering success has been mine with the non-medical and surgical treatment of these affections that I have thought it worth while to emphasize in this work the drugless management of constipation and obstipation. From what I have been able to find in the literature and from my conversations with medical men, in addition to my favorable experience, I feel that the manifold benefits to be derived from psychotherapy, diet, and physical measures, such as bodily movements, massage, mechanical vibration, and elec tricity, have not received the marked attention they deserve by phy sicians in general when outlining a plan of treatment for the relief and cure of the different types of costiveness. When discussing the various non-medicinal measures designed for the relief of this complaint I have endeavored to point out as closely as possible their exact indi cations, and to give briefly, in simple language, the technic of their application.
