proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and farher acts aa a natnraly and
eminently safe oatbaric.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collects in the stomach and bowels ; It
disinfects the month and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, bat probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuarts Absorbent Lozenges ; they are
oomposed powdered Willow oharcoal,
and other harmlees antiseptics In tablets
form or rather In the form of large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, the charcoal
being mixed with honey.
The daily nse of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved oondition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath, and purer blood, and the
beaty of it is, that no posible harm can
resnlt from their continued nse, bnt on
the contrary, great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuarts absorbent Lozenges to all pa
tients suffering gas in stomochand bow
els, and to clear the complexion and puri
fy the breath, month and throat; I also
believe the liver is greatly benefited by
daily nse of them; they cost bnt twenty-
five cents a box at drag stores, and al
though in some sense a patetent prepera-
tion, yet I beleive I get more and better
