Constipation in The Intimate Side of a Woman's
Life,
by Leona W. Chalmers (1937, Pioneer
Publications, Inc.,
Radio City, New York)
Mrs. Chalmers discusses bad toilets
and toilet seats as well as
constipation, which seems to have been
of epidemic proportions at that time -
and maybe before. During the first
half of the century, Dr. E. V.
McCollum, in Wisconsin (U.S.A.) and
later at the Johns Hopkins University
(Baltimore, U.S.A.), had discovered
vitamins A and D and rediscovered the
importance of vegetables in the diet,
and wrote a popular column in McCall's
magazine from 1922 to 1946 explaining
food and nutrition. This included, of
course, vegetables' effects on
preventing constipation.
The
director of the cytology section
of a state public health
department kindly donated the
book.
