Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty. ¥body knows that char- Nearly is the safest and most efficient fectant and purifier in nature, but realize its value when taken into the human system for the same cleans- ing purpose. Charcoal is 2 remedy that the more take of it the better; it is not a g &t all, but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and carries »em out of the system. arcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, drinking or after eating nions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and im- roves thy complexion, it whitens the eth and further a as a natural 1d eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which ollect in the stomach and bowels; it isinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh. | All druggists sell charcoal in one form or another, but probably the best charcoal ar e most for the money is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges :posed of the finest pow- dered charcgal and olher‘ harmiless a eptics in tablet form or ther in the form of large, pleasant | sting lozeng: the charcoal bemll vixed with honey The daily use of these Jozenges will | scon tell in a much improved condi- | »n of the general health, better com- exion, sweeter breath and purer *'ood, and the beauty of it is that no msible harm can result from their | mtinued use, but, on the contrary, «reat benefit. A Buffalo physician in speaking of he benefits of charcoal says: I advise tuart’s Absorbent Lozenges to all pa- ients suffering from gas in stomach and bowels and to clear the complex- ion and purify the breath, mouth and throat; I also believe the liver is great- v benefited by the daily use of them; they cost but 25 cents a box at drug siores, and although in some sense a patent preparation, yet I believe I get more and better charcoal in Stuart’ Absorbent Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets.” low { Special No. 3.
