Charcoal effectually clears and im proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and farher acts aa a natnraly and eminently safe oatbaric.

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 oharcoal in Stanrts Absorbent Lozenges chan in any of the orinary charcoal tab lets." _.
