THE VALIE OF CHARCOAL Faw People Know How Ueeful It I» in Preserving Health and Beauty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disin fectant and purifier in nature, but few realize its \alue when properly prepared and taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of tt the better; it is not a drug at all, but simply absorbs the gases and Impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after amoking. and and after eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clear* and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists sell charcoal In one form or another, but. probably the best char coal and the most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges; they are composed of the finest quality Willow charcoal powdered to extreme fineness, then compressed in tablet form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal being sweetened to be smooth and palatable. The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, iwceter breath and purer blood, and the oeauty of it is that no possible harm •an result from their continued use. but >n the contrary, great benefit. Many physicians advise Stuart's Absorbent I^ozenges to patients suffering 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 cents a box at drug stores, and you get more snd better charcoal in Stuart’a Absorbent liozenges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets. ADVERTISEMENT.
