THE VALUE or CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is In
Preserving Health and beauty.
Costs Nothing 10 rry.

Nearly everybodys knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier. in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
tie human system for the same cleans

Charcoal is a remedy that the more

gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines. and car
RES 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 I'M
proves the complexion. 1T whltens the
teeth and further acts rs a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1t
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 Stuarts Charcoal Loaenges; 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 lozcnges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty OF IL is tnat no pos
siblc 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: II ad-
wise Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels. and to clear the conf
