The Value of Charcoal.
FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL IT IS IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW USEFUL IT IS IN
PRESERVING HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is the
safest and most efficient disinfeetant and purifier
in nature, but few realize its value when taken
into the human system for the same cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more you take OF
II the better; 1t 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 erectually clears and improves the
complexion. 1t whitens the teeth and further acts
as a natural and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which collect In
the stomach and bowels: it disinfects the mouth
and throat from the poisons Of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in form or an
other, but probably the best charcoal and the
most for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Loz-
enges 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,
better complexion. 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.
Buffalo physician In speaking Of the benefits
Of charcoal, says: II advise Stuarts Charcoal
Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas In
stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion
and purify the breath, mouth and throat; also
believe the liver IL greatly benefited By the daily
use Of them; they cost but twenty-five cents bog
at drug stores. and although in some sense a pat
emit preparation, yet believe get more and bet

of having as fine herd of Duroc

sire is Billy X, which was sired

The herd shows wonderful i'm

these splendid individuals. Par
ties wishing the best strains of
Duroc Jerseys will do we'll to
see Mr.. Cad wells herd before
buying. He has herd over Of
one hundred head of all sizes and
ages and every one registered or
can be. He still has three males
for sale and a large amount OF
older sows and quilts, which he
is selling very reasonable. He
with others have found that it
cost no more to raise good stock
than it does a scrub. One of his
neighbors who has been raising
scrub stock for years bought of
him two sows last fall. He sue
ceeded so we'll that he disposed of
all his old stock and came back
this fall aud bought fifteen more
head Of brood sows.
Mr.. Cadwell's herd of here fords

bull is exceptionally fine animal
in every particular as his get
shows. From his long exper-
fence Mr.. Caldwell knows a good
animal when he sees it and being
posted on the best families he is
enabled to keep his herd in the
front ranks.
1t will pay any one interested
in Duroc Jersey hogs or Hereford
cattle to visit his ranch whether
they want to purchase or not.

about the swamps on them and builds
itself mud houses raised above the
surface. with an opening at, the top
from which its bullying eyes stare out
at every alarm. For this life the fish
is fitted with long arms, with elbow
and wrist, while the fingers are separ-
ated and prehensile, instead of being
fiat and finlike. These hands in the
African species hold the mangrove
roots in climbing and are the means
of propulsion through the mud. The
