THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful it 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 present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries 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, it Whitens the
teeth and further acts as Il 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.

charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's 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 mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much-improVed> condition
of the general health and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no pos
sible harm can result from their con

the benefits of charcoal says: 81 adj

 When Mrs. Williams was asked for some details of the fearful illness from which she had so long suffered, she spoke as follows:
 " Ever since l had nervous prostration. about thirteen years ago, have had periodical spells of complete exhaustion. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into state of lifeless- ness. At the beginning my strength would come back in moderate time, but the period of weakness kept length ening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch "You were under medical treatment, of course?'

The doctor did me so little good that l gave up his treatment, and really feared that my case was ineurable ,
 What saved you from your state of hopelessness?
 "In July of 1903 I had a very bad spell, and my husband came ill one day with little book which told of remark able cures effected by a remedy for the blood and the nerves, Dr. Williams Fink Pills. He bought box for me, and that was the beginning of my return to health. My appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted, and my strength began to re- vive."
 "How long did you take this remedy?" For two months only. At the end of that time l had regained my health and cheerfulness. and my friends say that I am looking better than l have done for the past fifteen years"
