 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach ana bowels; ir oisinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.

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 it is that TO 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: T ad- wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat I also believe the liver is greatly ben efited by the daily use of them; they cost hut twenty-five cents box at drug | stores, and although in some sense 8 l natent preparation yet I believe I get l more and better charcoal in Stuart's l Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the l ordinary charcoal tablets
