Constipation.
Constipation:
Is an occasional difficulty in infancy as well as in later childhood. It is advisable to check this disposition of the' infant, since
after it has become habitual considerable difficulty* may be experienced. The favorite remedy of nurses, manna, is always effectual
but not desirable, since the habitual administration of laxatives
will in the course of time render them necessary. Hence it is advisable, in case the bowels fail to move with the usual regularity,
to employ a small injection of warm salted water in the lower
bowel, or a small piece of soap may be introduced for the same
purpose. Yet even these measures are not called for by a simple
delay of a day or two unless some indisposition, such as slight fever
and restlessness, be manifested. The majority of these cases are
over-treated, a plan which often results in the production of the
very evil which it is intended to avoid, habitual constipation. If
a laxative must be used, five or ten drops of " cascara cordial,"
once a day, will be the best remedy.
