the effect of their iwrsonal

Sectary Tuft ismaking rap

as an excellent sign that ha
has been placed on the defen
siveand that he feel com

counts he is making a weak
argument of it.
Washington has". been the
si-ene of an en.thusiasti Dem
oci a t ie ra lly i his week w here
a lively interest is tak"U in
polities,-despite the fact that
the residents of the District
of Columbia have no vote.
This fact wss made the occa
sion of a joke by one of the
speakers who dechred that
judging by the entbuhirtsmof
the meeting there could be
no' doubt that Parker and
Davis would receive theentire
vote of the DistrUt. Sueh
mfetings are not as useless
as they might seem however.
There are manv clerks i n
the (iovernmeut D.'pnrtmenr
who go home to vote. and.
too, there afp many voters
from Maryland and Virg'm i

TbeTulue of Charcoal.
Nearly everybody know
that charcoal is the saf-rti
and ' most efficient disinfec
tant and purifies in nature,
but few realize its value when
taken into the human sys
tem for the saaie cleansing
purpose.
Charcoal is a re men y that
the mote you take of it the
better; it is 0 t a drug at nil,
but simply absorbs theguscs
and impurities always pres
ent in the stomach and intt
tines aud carries them out of
the system, ' 1
Charcoal s w e e t e n s tl.e

ing or after eating onions
and other odorous vgeia
bK
Charcoal ff'-ctnully clears
and improves the complex
ion, t whitens the teeth and
further acts as n natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious
gases which collect in the
stomach and the bowels; it
iisinfects tli; in o u t h and
threat frora 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 ChrconlLozn
gee; they nre composed of
the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other tmrmlpss
antiseptics in tablet form or
rather in the form of large,
passant tasting lozenges,
the chat coa I bmg m'xed
with honey,
The daily use of these luz m
gjs will soon tell in a much
improved condition of the
general health, better com
plexion, sweeter breath and
purer blood, aud the beauty
of it is that, nopoible harm
can result from their contin
ued ua., but on the contrary
great benefit.
A Buffalo p b y h f an In
speaking of the-, benefits. of
charcoal, says: "I advise
Stuart's Chiirtfjel Lozenges
to all prttients suffering from
gas ia stomach and bowels,
and to clear the complexion
and purify the hre.uh mouth
aud throat; I a'so believe fh?
liver is' gratly benefitted b.v
the daily us of them; they
cost but 2.V at dtug stores,
ami although in some sense
a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more ami better
charcoal in Htmrt's Charcoal
Lozenges than in any of the
ordinary charcoal tablets."
