Few People Know How Useful II Us In
Preserving Health and Beauty &
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is
the safest ana most efneieut disinrectant
and purifier IN nature, bur rev realize It's
value when taken lnto the human system
for the same cleansing purpose.

purlties always present IN the stomach ana
intestines art carries them OUT OF the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating onions
and otner odorouB vegetables
Charcoal enectuaiiy clears ana improves
the complexion, It wnitens the teeth ana
further acts as natural ana eminently
safe catnartic.
II absorbs the luxurious gases which col.
ect in the stomach and bowels; IL disin-
fects the mouth and throat from the poison
OF catarFh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another. but probably the best charcoai
ana the most for the money Is in Stuart's
Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed OF
the finest powdered Willow charcoal anI
other harmless aniseptics IN tablet form
or rather IN the form or large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use OF these lozenges will soon
tell IN a much improved condition OF tne
general health, better complexion, sweeter
breath and purer blood. ana the beauty OF

from their continued use, but on the con.

the next ten days or two weeks.
The sessions of the conference

election of the successors of
Bishop Dubs and Bishop Stan
ford, whose terms are about to
