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 cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more

at all, but simply absorbs tAe gases
an4 impurities always present IN the
stomach and intestines and carries them
out of the system.
Charcoal SweeJeus the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other OdorOus vegetables.
charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, IL whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eninenty safe cathartic.
1t absOrbs the injurious gases which
collect IN the stomach and bowels; IL
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another. but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money Is in
StuaTts Charcoal L.ozengers: they are
composed of the finest powdered Willow
CHARCOAL, and other harmless auttsep-
tics in tablet form or rather fn the form
of large teasant tasting iozengers, the
charcoal being mixed with honey

for awhile; then it was discovered that
when the canal commission wanted TO

Government would have no banks TO

Governor MagoOn again explained why

infinitely all the coins of this sort that

them would know they were reliable.
Senator Morgan rubbed his chin contem-

Senator Morgan yesterday devoted a
hearing before the Senate Canal Com
