THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know HOW Useful It Is In
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing To Try.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal IS the safest and most efncient
disinfectant 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 II Is not a
drug at all, but simply absOTbs the
gases and Impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating on
ions and other OdOrOus vegetables.
Charcoal effectusliy clears and inn
proves the complexion, IL 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 IL
disinfeCts the mouth and throat from
the poison Of catarrh-
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for 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 loz-
enges. the charcoal being mixed with
honey
The daily use Of these Iozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton OF the general health, better com
plexiqu. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is that no posi-
Bile harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but. on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician, IN speaking Of
the benefits Of charcoal, says: Il 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
