THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II 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
lie its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the mora
you take of II the better: 1t is not a drug
at ALL but simply absorhs the gases and
Impurities always present IN the ston,.
ach and intestines and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking eating onions and
other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectIally clears and i'm
proves the complexion. II whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; IL
disinfects 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 ars
composed of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptjcs
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tastir lozenges. the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use Of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
OF the general health. better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood. and the
beauty Of 1t 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: II advise
stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tents suffering from gas in the stomach
anu bowels and TO clear the complexion
and purify the breath. mouth and throat:
also believe the liver is greatly bene-
fitted by the daily use Of them; they cost
but twenty-five cents box at drug
stores. and although In some sense pat
emit preparation. yet / believe get more
and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorb
en-. Lozenges than any Of the ordinary
charcoal tablets"
