DistensiOn Of The
 Stomach By Air

And Eructations of Gas Rapidly Re- lieved by Stuart's Charcoal Lozenqes. Willow charcoal is the most important and the purest kind of charcoal obtain able Wood consists of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and when heated in room where the supply of air Is limited the more volatile matters are burned away, and most of the carbon remains.
 In a finely divided state charcoal not only condenses gases to a marvellous ex- tent, but also has the power of absorb ing coloring matter. It is 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 recep- tacle of charcoal allowed to remain there in over night will completely absorb and remove all the disagreeable paint odor.
 Physicians frequently employ charcoal for destroying the fetor of wounds, for which purpose 1t is applied in the form of a powder or poultice to gangrenous sores, ulcers, etc. It is also largely used tn tooth powders. as by its mechanical action 1t removes incrustations of the teeth, while by its chemical action it de- stroys fetor or foulness of the breath.
 In indigestion accompanied by datu- Hence. or gas on the stomach and belch- ing, and in the colio of infants. or older persons, as well as the so-called Head collie" or painters colio," charcoal is by far the best and most powerful rem fedy that can be used.
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges should be used frequently or constantly by paint CTS, or workers in lead, and all persons whose occupations make them liable to '1ead colic-" They should also be em- tx,1ovad hv anv0ne who slffara from tbosa annoying symptoms of indigestion, such ns fermentation, decomposition of food. fiatulence, or gas on the stomach colicky pains, resulting from the over-distension of the intestines with gas, and the rum- bling noises of the bowels with which so many dyspepics suffer and which prove so annoying and embarrassing, when oc- curing while in company
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges are com posed of pure willow charcoal mixed with honey and are capable of absorbing 100 times their own volume in gas; and by their rapid anti-fermentative, antiseptic, deordorizing and absorbent action, pre- vent the possibility of collie or internal rumblings of gaseous products. They are absolutely harmless and may be giver freely to infants suffering from colic, and used just as freely by older persons who are annoyed by aatulence and gas sruc. tations. In proof of the harmlessness oi charcoal. q French physician was in th< habit of taking IS ounces every day of his life, and recommended it's abundant uss to others.
