Few People Know How Useful. It Is in Preserving Health end Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is tho safest and most effi- cient disinfectant and purifier in nature, but lew realize it's value when properly prepared and taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is remedy that the more you take of it the better; ,t is not drug at all. but simply ab- sorbs the gases and impurities al- ways present in the stomach and ip- testines and carries them out of tho system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking' and after eating onions ana other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion. it whltens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; il disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarr1.
 Ali druggists sell charcoal in one form or another. but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Absorbent I.ox- enges; they are composed of the finest qnality Willow charcoal DOW dered to extreme fineness then com pressed in tablet form or rather in the form of large. pleasant tastina Lozenges, the charcoal being sweet ened to be smooth and palatable.
 The daily use of these Iozenres will soon tell in much, improved condition of the general health. bet- ter complexion. sweeter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of it is, that no possible h.rm can result from their continued. use. but on the contrary. great benetit.
 Many physicians advise Stuart's AbsorDent Lozenges to patients suf- fering from gas in stomach and bowels. and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat. They are also believed to greatly benefit the liver. These lozenges cost but thirty cen.s q box a, drug stores. and you get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Ab- sorbentt Lozenges than in any of the ,oi dinary charcoal tablets.--sAdv. .s,.s..
