The = == THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Few People Know How Useful Jt is tn Preserving Health and ty. Nearly everybody knows that charcoal is | the safest and moat effcient disinfectant and purifier in pature, but few realise ita walue when taken into the human system for the same cleansing purpose. Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of it the better; it is not a drug at all but simply absorbs the gases and impuri- ties always present in the stomach and in- testines and carries them out of the systewm. Charceal sweetens the breath after smok- Ing and drinking or after eating omfons and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and improves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as & natural and eminently cathartie. It absorbs the injurious which col- lect in the stomach and bowels; it disin- fects the mouth and throat from the po son of catarrh. All druggists sell oharcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal and the most for tbe money is Stuart's Ab- sorbent Losenges; they are composed of the finest powdered willow charcoal and other barmless tiseptics in tablet form, or, rather, in the form of large, pleasant tast- 1ng lozenges, the charcoal being mixed with tell in @ much improved condition of the general health, better complexion, sweeter breath and purer blood, and the beauty of it is, that uo possiblo harm can result from their continued use, but, on the ocoutrary, great benefit. A Buffalo physiclan, in speaking of the benefita of charcoal, says: “I advise Absorbent Logenges to all patients the stomach and bow- els, and to clear the complexion and purify the breath, mouth and -throat; I also be- leve the liver is greatly bemefited by the dally use of them; they cost but twenty-five cents & box at drug stores, and although o some sense a patent preparation, yet I be- leve I get more and better charcoal in Stuart's Absorbent la-un-tlnhwd the otaer charcoml tablete.” ond ward, short term, Waldo Wintersteen; long term, J.
