THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful II Is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.
Cost Nothing 90 Try.

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect-
ant and purifier in nature. but few realize
its value when taken into the human svs-
TEN for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal Is a remedy that the more Won
take of it the better; 1t is not drug al
all. but simply absorbs the gases and i'm
purities always present in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of the
system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking. or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, il whtens the teeth. and
further acts as natural and eminently
safe Cathartic.
1t absorbes the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels: IL dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, bat probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuarts Charcoal LOZcnSes; they are
composed OF the finest powdered Willow
charcoal and other harmless antisepties
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 much improved condition of
the general health. better complexion.
sweeter breath. and purer blood, and the
beauty of il 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. I advise
StuaTt's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach and
bowels, and 30 clear the complexion and
purify the breath, mouth. and throat;
also believe the liver is greatly benefited
by the daily use of them; they cost but
Twenty-Five cents a box AT drug stores.
