all back. He said it was the first
time he had ever heard it denied.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t 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
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not q
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out Of the system.
Charcoal swetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves 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
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 Is Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, aud other harmless
an~tiseptics 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 condi-
ton of the general health, better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauy 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: at ad.
wise Stuart Is Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels, and to clear the com-
.plexion 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
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet l
believe l get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than
in any Of the ordinary charcoal tab

bail to regain his liberty until the ex-
animation, at which time the justice
of the peace found him not guilty, and
dismissed the charge against him. He
also claims that he had teams and men
working for him, which, during the
time he was under arrest, were idle,
damaging him to the extent Of $40,
and that he had to pay out $40 attor-
ney's fees at his examination, and that
his own time was valued at $50, and
that his good name was injured by the
arrest in the sum of $3.50, he therefore
prays the court that he be given judg-
ment against defendant for the sun of
$40 special damages, and $4SO gener-
al damages. Ely s. Ely are attorneys
