Charcoal The
Great Absorbent
Absorbs and Removes Stomach and
Intestinal Gases and Makes
the Breath Pure.

The able researches OF DR.. Stenhouse,
published about the middle OF the last
century. excited considerable interest in
charcoal and its wonderful absorbing
powers. His experiments were directed
TO the deodorizing, as well as the alb
sorbing qualities Of charcoal, and he
succeeded In proving beyond all question
or doubt, that It's properties Of destroying
the offensive doors OF puuld vegetable
and animal matter, depended not alone
upon its antiseptic power. as bad been
generally supposed heretofore. but also
on its quality OF absorbing and oxidiZing
etduyla or noxiOus eXhalat;ons from the
putrefying matters.
Many other noted physicians have since
that time investigated this absorbent and
oxidiZing action, and one of them, DR..
Hunter, has also published an account
or his experiments, showing the relative
amount Of the various gases taken up
by the different kinds Of charcoal.
Both StenhOuSe and Hunter experiment.
ed with charcoal made from poplar, box
wood, COcO2nut shells, willow wood, and
various other woods. and they found that
charcoal made from willow wood pos
sessed by far the most power Of absorb
ing deodorizing. oxidiZing, and destroy
ing foul gases. 1t may be added here
that animal charcoal which IS employed
SO extensively as decolorizinz agent, is
very Inferior to wood charcoal as an alb
sOrbent and deodOrant
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are com
posed Of charcoal made from the finest
willow wood, the very best OF all woods
that can be used for this purpose The
addition Of pure honey 70 these lozenges
renders them so palatable that no one
can possibly object TO their taste.
When they are taken into the stomach
they do not lie inert and inactive but
