THEVALUE OF CHARCOAL.
F w People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving HeaIte and Beauty

preserving t1Sdile dilu oSdtlf.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
the safest and most efficient dislnfect-
Mt and purifier in nature, but few rea-
:zc its value when taken into the hu-
,au system for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
-cs take of it, the better; it is not a
rug at ALL but simply absorbs the gases
md impurities always present in the
stomach and intestines, and carries them
,ut Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Char coal effectually clears and improves
The complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe cathart1c.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels: it dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
Al! druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is In
Ssunrt'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 these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complexion.
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.
Il Buffalo physician, in speaking Of the
benefits of charcoal, says: II advise Stu
arts Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach and
bowels. and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath. mouth and. throat;
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use OF them: they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores
anu although in some sense a patent prep
nrntion. yet I believe I get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent Lo-
zenges than in any Of the ordinary char
