THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
F*w Paopl* Know Hew Useful it Ie in
Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing 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 impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking pr after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and 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 bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges;
they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal, and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large, pleasant
tasting lozenges, the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, 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 physician in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: “I ad
vise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to
all patients suffering from gas in stom
ach and bowels, and to clear the com
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefitted by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet
I believe.l get more and better char
coal in Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets.” '

among the prominent public men from

Stephens says thaj so far as he could
judge from his stay in the state dur
ing the past summer, Texas Demo
crats have nol as yet made up their
minds aa to whom they will support
at the coming national convention
for the presidency. He thinks it Is
vary doubtful if the subject haa been
given serious consideration. They
prefer, he says to await developments
before deciding whom they will give
their support. What the Texas Demo
crats want is for the convention to
select a man who will be acceptable
to the eastern Democracy, aud who
will stand a good show ot winning in
the presidential elections. Mr. Step
hens says that Texas continues in a
stat* of great prosperity, and he
thinks that, the prosperity is likely to
continue for some time to come. The
crops during the past season have
been good, and new manufacturing in
dustries are constantly springing up
all over the state. Tho Texas con
