THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful # is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
a drug at all. but simply absorbs
the gases and impurities always pre-
sent in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, ii whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects 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's Charcoal Lozen-
ges: 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 charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condf-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion, 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: Il adj
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ash and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; 1 also believe the liver
is greatly benefited by the daily use
Of them; they cost but twenty-five
cents a box at drug stores, and al
though in some sense a patent prep
aration, yet 1 believe 1 get more and
better charcoal in Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges than in any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets
