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 dis
infectant 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 Il 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.
ShaFcodf efTectuaIty clears and i'm
proves the complexion. 1T whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminentiy safe cathartic.
1t absorDs the injurious gases which
collect IN tie stomach and bowels; il
dlsinfectS the mouth and throat from
the poison OF CataTTh
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money IS
In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless
er tiseptics in tablet form or r8ther in
the form OF large. pleasant tasting loz-
engess the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use Of these Iozerges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
Of the general health, better complex
for, sweeter breath. and purer blood.
and the beauty OF II is. that 40 pos
sihle harm can result from their con-
tnued use, but, on the contrary, great
benefit.
a Buffalo physician. in speaking Of
the benefits OF charcoal, says. II ad-
wise StuaTts 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 is greatly
benefited by the daily use OF them; they
cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug
stores, and although In some sense a
patent preparation. Yet | believe I get
more ard better charcoal in Stuart's
Charcoal Lozenges than in any OF the
ordinary charcoal tablets"
