FIatuIent Eructati0ns
 and Offensive Breath
Render Many People Obnoxious To Others, and Cause Them to
 Be Summed.

The eructation or belchng of gas from the stomach is very common circum- stance, and may sdepend in some cases mpon the nature of the food ingested, without the existence of any deviation from health. In cases of extreme fiatu- lence, the eructation of large quantities of gas may take place, forming source of considerable inconvenience, and fre- quent annoyance, although affording some relief to the feeling of distension that exists in the stomach.
 Sometimes the gas discharged is of a fetid character-nay be so foul, indeed. as to render the unfortunate person s presence almost uhbearable to others. Owing to imperfect secreting action, or to a defective state of the gastric juice, pu- trefactive changes take place among the contents of the stomach, and as the re- suit sulphurretted hydrogen and other such foul gaseous products of decomposi- tion are evolved. Hence the eructations or belchings present the offensive odor of decayed animal and vegetable matter, and the victim of this deplorable condi- tion usually has a continuous bad breath, which is so disagreeable as to cause them to be summed by their friends.
 The medical profession invariably pre- scribes and recommends the use of char coal for the correction and cure of this condition which has often been the means of causing people to avoid social inter course, and the pleasures of the theatre and other public places of amusement. This deprivation is, however, wholly un- necessary, as charcoal is wonderful ab- sorbent of gases, and possesses the power of absorbing 100 times its own volume; and when Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges, which are made from the best willow charcoal, are taken into the stomach. every particle of the foul gases existing there is removed by absorption, decompo- sition and fermentation of food is pre- vented, and the stomach and entire intes- tinal system is made pure and antiseptic. all disease germs and microbes being de- stroyed and removed.
 AS natural consequence the breath, which before was so offensive, is now purified, and the person who formerly felt constrained to remain out of com pany and away from public meetings has no longer to contend with such a drawback, but mingles freely in the so- ciety of his friends, feeling assured that Gtuart's Charcoal Lozenges, when used freely after meals. will absorb and pre- vent the generation of foul stomach gases and purify the infected breath, making It sweet and pure.
 Secure a package of these wonderful lozenges from your druggist at once for 25 cents. and note how quickly they purify the breath and prevent the belching of foul gases Send us your name and ad- dress for free trial package Address F. A. Stuart Co.,, 200 Stuart Bldg. Marshall, Mich.

DEADLY DULL.

III several respects the next
democratic primary election in this
State will be ridiculous, judging
from present Indications. Three
State offices will be contested with
two candidates for each. AS the
campaign goes on it becomes more
and more languld. There is no
issue anywhere. According TO
citizens who are supposed to ex-
press his opinion, Judge Mann, at
Petersburg tonight will announce
that he will veto State wide pro-
hlbltlon measure. So we will have
two gentlemen opposing each other
for governor with nothing to be
decided by the election of either
except comparative personal pop
ularlty. Some faint effort has been
made to oppose Judge Mann as the
candidate of the machine. but the
machine itself seems TO be divided
on the question whether he is or is
not It's representative. Probably
two-thirds of the voters have for
gotten that the reelection of Lieu
tenant-Governor EIIyson is con-
tested by Mr.. Cation. of Alexan-
dria. Colonel Catlett and Mr..

The Ward act permitted voters

saloons, issuing bonds for roads or

that the general assembly of the
