ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
: i'm Preserving Health and Beauty,

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
tue. 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 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 i'm
proves 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
d.sinfects 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's Charcoal Lozenges: they
are COMPOSED of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form OF rather in
the form Of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enSes, the charcoal being mixed with
honey

soon tell in a much improved condition
OF the general health, better complex
ion, 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.
"A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal. says: Il ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenses to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels, and to clear the com
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but % cents a box at
drug stores, and although in some sense
q patent preparation, yet l believe l
get more and better charcoal in Stuart S
Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the
ordinary charcoal tablets"

interested spectators at the Athletic club

lin, and others, and after the performance
they all signed statement as to the
genuineness of the performance ana the
mystery of her feats.
On the committee were a number of
trained athletes accustomed to all kinds
of tricks and arts in handling an oppo-
nent, but Miss Abbott slenced all these
by getting other gentlemen to place their
hands between her and her opponent.
and they would always testify that she
used no physical force; this was especial
~ the case when she stood with her
finger tips against two gentlemen's hands.
they being placed fiat on the wall, and
the rest of the committee lined up be-
hind her and tried to push her up against
the wall. They did not succeed, and the
gentlemen against the wall said they did
not feel any pressure on their hands. On
another very remarkable test, she seated
Ed Warren in a chair and piled up four
or five men in his lap. She then lifted the
chair with all Of its contents off Of the
floor three times and then overturned the
whole bunch.
The lifting tests were also very mysti-
flying. and other very strong men tried
but they couldn't bulge her, although
she weights but 1903 pounds.
