"Intestinal Ills" by Alcinous B. Jamison is a book focused on gut health in the early 1900s, examining digestive problems like constipation and their connection to conditions such colitis and proctitis. The heart of the book emphasizes keeping the intestines clean and explains how problems there may affect total health. The opening chapter lays out the main idea: ignoring bowel health can lead to a bunch of health problems, like indigestion and infection, suggesting that many illnesses might start in the lower digestive system, setting the stage for a serious study into digestion and how what we eat impacts our well-being.
