Nearly everybody knows that charcoal Is the safest and most efficient disinfect ant nd purifier In neture, but few realize Its value"when taken Into the human aya tem for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better; It I not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gushes and Impurities always present In the stomach and Intestines and carries . them out of the system. Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating onion and other odorous vegetables. (Iiarcoal effectually clears tvnd 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 bowls; It di;. Infects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. All druggists selj charcoal In one form or another, but probably the best char coal and the most for the money Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are com posed of t lie finest powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antlsrntie. In tablet form or rather In the form of large pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being mixed with holey. The daily use of these loaenges will soon tell In a much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of It Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but, on the contrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physlcion. In speaking of the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients Buffering from gas In stomach and bowels and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also be lieve the liver la greatly benefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents a box at drug stores, and although In some sense a patent prep aration, yet I believe I get more and bet ter charcoal In Stuart's Charcoal Lozen ges than In any of the ordinary charcoal tablets."
