Plain answers to embarrasing topics
At last a sensible, easy to understand, little handbook about something we all do but are usually too embarrased to talk about, even to our Doctor.

The BMA has brought the whole matter of defecation and its attendant problems from behind closed doors, avoiding playground smut on the one hand or mind boggling Medical jangon on the other.

I recommend this book as an addition to the medical library both of the average family and the medical student or nurse.

Whether you are a sufferer from intestinal problems or merely curious about this vital natural function then this book is for you.

Dr Heaton's effort deserves a "motion of confidence"!
