THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal IS the safest and most efficient dis
lnfectant and purifier in nature. bur
Few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of if the better; il is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
eases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoklns, drinking, or after eating on
ions and other cdOTOuS vegetabl
Charcoal effectualIy clears and i'm
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe eathartie.
II absorbs the injurious gases which
coiect IN the stomach and bowels; il
dlslnfeets the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent LoZenges: they
are composed of the finest powdered
willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form, or. rather.
IN the form OF large. pleasant tasting
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges win
soon tell in mach improved condition
OF the general health. better complex
ion, sweeter breath, and purer blood
and the beauty of it is that ne. possible
harm can result from their continued
use, but. on the contrary. great benefit.
Buffalo physician, in speaking OF
the dement's of charcoal. says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Absorbent LozeEges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat. I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but % cents a box at
drug stores. and although in some
sense a patent preparation, vet / be-

Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges than in
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
