ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is in Pre-
serving 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 present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectuaIly clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
IT sbsorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; II
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 Stuarts Charcoal LozenRes: 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 Ioz-
enges, 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 complex
ion. 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 al
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to ain
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth and
throat: I also believe the liver is great
ly 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 / believe I
get more and better charcoal in Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the
ordinary charcoal tablets"
