THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It ia fin
 Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char | coal Is the safest and most eficien disinfectant and purifier in nature, bu | few realize it's value when taken into
 the human system for the same cleans. l ing purpose
 | Charcoal is a remedy that the more | you take of 1t the better; 1t is not $ | drug at all, but simply absorbs tn, gases and impurities always present ir | the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system.
 I Charcoal sweetens the breath after
 smoking, drinking or after eating | onions and other odorous vegetables. 7 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion. it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 IT absorbs the injurious gases which
 collect in the stomach and bowels: 1t
 dislnfects the mouth and throat from
 me poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal fin one
 form or another. but probably the best
 charcoal and the most for the money is
 in Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges; they are composed of the finest powdered Will low charcoal, and other harmless anti septics in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lo- zenges. 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 compIex. ion. sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of IL is, that no possi- bie harm can result from their conlin- ned use. but on the contrary, great benefit. ..-......
 Buffalo physician In FpeakinR of inc benefits of charcoal says: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to ali natients suffering from gas in stomacu ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat: also believe the liver is great Iv benefited by the daily use of them. ,hey cost but twenty-five cents box at drug stores. and although In soms sense a patent preparation. yet I be- lieve get more and better charcoal in of the ordinary charcoal tabletaAs'
