THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
 Preserving Health and Beauty.


 Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the safest and most efficient disinfect- ant and purifier in nature, but few real ize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stom- ach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or eating onions and other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, 1t whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and emnently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it dsnfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best char coal 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 lozenges, the char coal being mixed with honey.
 The daily use. of thesea lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition CT the general nealln, Detler cOmpleX1on, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary, great benefit
 A Buffalo physician in speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: q advise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- tients suffering from gas in the stomach ant bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is greatly bene- fited by the daily use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores. and although in some sense a pat ent preparation, vet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorb ent Lozenges than any of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
