lound more trouble in getting rock bottom

they did on the city side. The center Tier
which is in the middle of the river where

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

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest most efficient disn-
fectant and purifier in nature. but few
realize It's value when taken into the
human system for the same cleansing pur-
pose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it the better; ii is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and inn
puriteS always present in the stomach
and 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 natural and eminently
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1T dis
irfects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
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 Iozenges, 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
Of 1t Is that no possible harm can result
from their continued use, but, on the con-
trary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: ''I 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
Is cents box at drugstores, and although
in some sense a patent preparation yet
believe 1 get more and better charcoal in
Stuart's Absorbent LoZenges than In any
Of the ordinary charcoal tablets"
