ITS GREAT VALUE.

Rubbing the teeth and washing out t! ■■ mouth with fine charcoal powder will render the teeth beautifully white, and the breath perfectly sweet, when an offensive breath has been owing to a scorbutic disposition of the gums. Putrid water is immediately deprived of its bad smell by charcoal. When meat, fish, etc., from intense beat or long keeping, aie likelv to become tainted, a simple mode or keeping them sound and healthful IS to put a few pieces of charcoal, each about the size of an egg. into the pot or saucepan wherein the fish or flesh is to be boiled.
