<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">This is constipation due to desiccated Intestines (Chang Ku), a common condition among the elderly and debilitated. It is also frequently seen after childbirth when the loss of blood injures the yin and depletes the fluids. The other signs and symptoms are characteristic of yin deficiency with depleted fluids.</SPAN></DIV>
