Distension of the
Stomach by Air
And Eructations of Gas Rapidly Re-
IieVed by Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.

Willow charcoal is the most impor-
tant and the purest kind of charcoal
hydrogen and oxygen. and when heated
in a room where the supply of air is
limited the more volatile matters are
burned away and most of the carbon
remains
In finely divided state charcoal not
only condenses gases to a marvellous ex-
tent, but also has the power of absorb
ing coloring matters. 1t is a very rapid
absorbent of gases of every kind, and
is much used in the dissecting rooms
and wards of hospitals for the removal
of offensive odors.
In rooms which have been recently
or freshly painted a pan or other re-
ceptacle of charcoal allowed to remain
therein over night will completely alb
sorb and remove all the disagreeable
paint odor.
Physicians frequently employ char
coal for destroying the fetor of wounds,
for which purpose it is applied in the
form of powder or poultice to gam
grenous sores, ulcers, etc. 1t is also
largely used in tooth powders. as by it's
mechanical action it removes incrus-
tations of the teeth, while by its chem
ical action it destroys fetor or foulness
of the breath.
In indi gestfon, accompanied by flatu-
1ence, or gas on the stomach, and belch-
ing, and in the collie of infants, or older
persons, as well as the. so-called lead
collie" or painters collie" charcoal Is
by far the best and most powerful rem
edy that can be used
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges should be
used frequently or constantly by paint
ers, or workers in lead, and all persons
whose occupations make them liable to
lead collie They should also be en-
ployed by any one who suffers from
those annoying symptoms of indiges-
tion, such as fermentation, decomposi-
tion of food, fatulence or gas on the
stomach, colicky pains, resulting from
oyerdistension of the intestineS with
gas, and the rumbling noises of the
bowels with which so many dyspeptics
suffer, and which prove so annoying
and embarrassing when occurring. while
in company.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are COM
posed Of pure willow charcoal mixed
with honey, and are capable of absorb
ing one hundred times their own vol
ume in gas, and by their rapid anti
Preventative, antiseptic, deodorizing
and absorbent action, prevent the pos
sibility of collie or internal rumblings
of gaseous products. They are abso-
lutely harmless and may be given
freely to infants suffering from collie,
and used Just as freely by older per-
sons who are annoyed by flatulence and
gas eructations. In proof of the harm
lessness of charcoal, a French physi-
clan was in the habit of taking fifteen
ounces every day of his life, and rec
ommended its abundant use to others

We don't know who originated the

The more glass you have the more

To get acclimated for that place one
need only tend hens in n dollhouse
