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

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfec-
tant and purifier in nature, but few real
ize 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 abserbs the gases and i'm
purltleS 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.
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 char
coal and the most for the money is in Stu
arts Charcoal 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 loZengeS, the charcoal being mix
ed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in 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.
Buffalo physician in speaking of the
benefits of charcoal says: 81 advise
