THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
rev People Know HOW Useful n II In
Preserving Health ana Beauty.
Costs Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature, but few real
lie its value when taken in to the human
system for the same cleansing purpose
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take OF It the better; 1t Is not a drug at
all, but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present In the stomach and
intestines and carries them out of the sys-
TEN.
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.
II 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
OF another, but probably the best char
coal and most of the money is In
stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; 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 char
coal being mixed with honey
The daily use of these lozenges will
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 advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all pa
tients 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 bene-
fitted 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 l believe l get
more and better charcoal in Stuarts
Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the or
binary charcoal tablets"
