Charcoal Purlfies
Any Breath
And in Its Purest Form Has Long
Been Known as the Greatest
Gas Absorbcr

Pure willow charcoal will oxidize al
most any odor and render it sweet and
pure. A painful in a foul cellar will
absorb deadly fumes, for charcoal alb
serbs one hundred times it's volume
in gas.
The ancients knew the value of char
coal and administered it In cases of
illness, especially pertaining to the
stomach. In England today charcoal
poultices are used for ulcers, boils, etc.
while some physicians in Europe claim
to cure many skin diseases by covering
the afflicted skin with charcoal powder
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges go into
the mouth and transfer foul odors at
once into oxygen, absorb noXious gases
and acids and when swallowed mix
with the digestive juices and stop gas
making, fermentation and decay.
BY their gentle qualities they control
benefcially bowel action and stop diar-
rhoea and constipation.
Bad breath simply cannot exist when
charcoal is used. There are no ifs or
ands about this statement. Don't take
our word for it, but look into the mat
ter yourself Ask your druggist or ply
stefan. or, better still, look up charcoal
in your encyclopedia. The beauty of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges is that the
highest pharmaceutical expert knowl-
edge obtainable has been used to pre-
pare a lozenge that will give to man
the best form of charcoal for use.
Pure willow and honey is the result
Two or three after meals and at bed
time sweeten the breath, stop decay of
teeth, aid the digestive apparatus and
promote perfect bowel action. They
enrich the supply of oxygen to the sys-
tenn and thereby revivify the blood and
nerves.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are sold
everywhere in vast quantities, thus
they must have merit. Every druggist
carries them, price twenty-five cents
per box, or send us your name and adj
