MOsher Seriously Wounded
nv Hin.

In a fight with knives at Thirteenth and
Reese streets about midnight Saturday
night. Mat Burbash. a Bohemian, was 90
seriously cut in the chest. back and abdo-
men that he had TO be operated upon at the

ceIved several dangerous knife wounds in

cutting, and himself received minor WOUNDS
and a severe blow on the head. The fight
occurred in the yard OF Joe sherman. who
lives at 1906 South thirteenth street, and

was about
II begged the men not to fight, and II
they must light. not to use knives" said
Sherman after the affair. They disrs-
garded me, however, and went ahead"
Koshlnr. who IL responsible for the condl-
ton Of the other two men, was locked up
at the police station after having his
wounds dressed by Police Surgeon Fitz-
giboon. He was under the Influence Of
liquor and was deiirious. AS soon as he
reached the station he became wildly eK-
cited, although while in the patrol wagon
on the way in from the place where the
fight occurred he was calm and half
asleep most Of the time. At the jail he
madly beat the floor and kept mutterins
incoherently about killing and "mcdi-
cine"
At the hospital Drs. Harris, Tyler, Arnot
and Benjamin performed an operation or
Burbash. who may die as the result Of hi'

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 efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is remedy that the more
you take of it the better; 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs 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 effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
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 lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condi
ton of the general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and purel
blood. and the beauty of it is that nc
possible harm can result from theil
continued use, but, on the contrary
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking Of
The benefits of charcoal says: Il ad
Use Stuart's Charcoal Lozengers to al
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath, mouth ant
throat; also believe the liver is great
ly benefited by the daily use of them
they cost but twenty-five cents a BIO,
at drug stores, and although in som;
sense a patent preparation, yet be
lieye | get more and better charcoal
in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than il
any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.
