Receives q Setback.

J. c. VanNess. who represents the
company which is talking of investing
$3.50. 900 in a dam across the Kansas riv-
er here. had a conference at Mayor Par
ker's Office this afternoon with Mr..
Parker Mayor Orr of Atchison. w A
S Bird, and a few others, relative to
certain changes which he desired made

things so that the laws of 1897 relative
to corporations can be changed, and the
restrictions upon corporations placed by
that law may be removed. He says
that unless some notifications in the
law can be secured, it is doubtful
whether the proposed company can be
organized to build the dam.

A PHYSICIANS ENDORSEMENT.

Dr. NJ. c. Gee, is one of the physicians
who endorse Peruna- In a letter writ
ten from 513 Jones street, San Fran
cisco. Cal, he says:
There is a general objection on the
part of the practicing physician to adj
vocate patent medicines. But when
any one medicine cures hundreds OF
people, it demonstrates its own value
and does not need the endorsement OF
the profession
"Peruna has performed so many
wonderful cures in san Francisco that
am convinced that it is a valuable
remedy I have frequently advised its
use for women, as I find it insures reg
u1ar and painless menstruation, cures
IeucOrrhOea and ovarian troubles, and
builds up the entire system. also con-
slider it one of the finest catarrh rem
e6ies I know of. 1 heartily endorse
your medicine en-. c. Gee, NJ. D.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it is in
Preserving Health and Beauty

Few People Know How Useful it 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 realize
its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you
take of it the better; it is not drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
an intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it 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; it dis
infects 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
fADSOl OSuI LCHSHSeS, Iuey are composed
of the finest powdered Willow charcoal,
and other harmless anti-septics in tablet
form or rather in the form of large, pleas
ant tasting lozenges, the charcoal 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 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: 81 advise
Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering from gas in stomach and
bowels, and to clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth and throat; l
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents box at drug stores, and
although in some sense patent prepare
ton, yet believe I get more and better
charcoal in Stuarts Absorbent I,ozenges,
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets
