lIRINCES CELRBRATED RUSSIA OIL is now
so impmved with an extra valuable ingredient, through which
it has nude it the greatest preserver and promoter to the hair : if
used constantly, not u hair will fall off or turn grey it is such a
noorisher to the hair, that even if it has begun to turn grey, it will
rezone it to its natural colour by rubbing it frequently into the
roots, as hundreds have experienced who have used it regularly. It
is sore to clear the scurf, from infancy to old age, and when dress-
ing with it, will always keep the head and hair clean and beauti-
fill, and in curl. Will surely restore the hair on bald places, if
there is the least sign of roots ; but if persons are bald,and the roots
are entirely gone, It is against nature that any article can restore it;
and if persons pretend to restore hair when the roots are gone, by
any article whatever, it is a falsity. Persons who have begun to
get bald ought to be particular to use the Russia Oil daily, or at
' the least every other day, as there must be a complaint in the scalp,
which may go further, and carry off the hair entirely, if neglected,
which has often been the case. Even Medical Gentlemen of the
Medical Hall, who have analysed Prince's Russia Oil, have pub-
lished in the" Gazette of Health," No. 16, that the discovery is a
great credit to the proprietor, and is superior to any other Oil for
the hair, and will do in ca..es of baldness and weak hair, what can
possibly be done in strengthening and restoring it. The Medical
Gentlemen have also analysed another Oil, which is daily puffed in
the Papers as used by Emperors. Kings, Dukes, die., and have
published in the " lia,ette of Ilealth," No. 12, that on examining
tire ingredients of this grand Oil, they find it contains only com-
mon (ill, coloured and perfumed ; therefore, it cannot be compared
to the Russia Oil as a nmirisher to the hair. There are petty per-
fumers, hair-dmssers and others, who melt bullocks' fat, and put
t In pots and perflinie it, and take in the public by pretending to
sell them Beane I helm ; but it is well known that Ilears' Grease is
too harsh for the hair, and niakes the hair turn grey and fall oft
The truth of this is well known to every one who knows the Empe-
ror Alexander. as he Inst his hair at an early age; and many per-
sons of distinction in the North able lost their hair at an early age,
through using Bears' firease. In short, in Russia, and other parts
of the North, where the Bears are, it is found from experience that
Bears' threw: is too harsh for the hair ; and whoever recouimends
it in this country for the hair, must do it for imposition, or must
he ignorant of its injuring the hair ; but Prince's Celebrated Russia
Oil is mixed with the most nourishing oils in Europe, and it is
always like a jelly t and it is proved by every one who bas given it
a fair trial to be the only article that actually preserves and pso-
motes the hair.
It is no wonder that Ludic; and (lentlemen have complained of
late of the Russia Oil not being of service to the hair, as they hare
found out that unprincipled persons have sold them counterfeits.
Ladies and gentlemen will be particular, as impostors in Great Btli-
rain, France, and different parts of the Continent, have made the
covers of the Counterfeit Russia (NI so much like the genuine, and
some, more to deceive falsely, have printed on the counterfeit covers
" the original," or " genuine Russia Oil," and some even us so
daring, although they know it is punishable, to put the original
proprietor's name. Therefor:, yurchasers should be cautious, and
have it of the proprietor, or of respectable venders.
Ask for Prince's Improi,cd Russia Oil. The ounce bottle, five shil-
line ; a large bottle, containing &connect., one pound, is a saving.

Pnnee's Russia Oil has been improved with the extra ingredient
since the year 11122, through which it will keep pleasant in this or
any other climate. Several captains who have came from the l'on-
tinent have declared, that whenever they landed merchandise they
have been asked if they had any of Prince's Russia Oil ? therefore
merchants will find an advantage in exporting it. Merchants and
Captains will receive a liberal allowance for exportation.
Proved by affidavit on the 24:h of November. 1814, before the
Lord Mayor of I Andoa, as A. Prince is the original Proprietor in
the universe of the Russia Oil ; and therefore, if any perfumer,
medicine-vender, hair-dresser, or :r.y one else in Great Britain or
any othercountry, sell an Oil called Russial4il, that is not Prince's,
they arc impostors, as they seli rounterfeits to their customers. As
several Ladies and Gentlemen in the niuntry have 'wen taken in by
unprincipled persons selling them Counterfeit Russia Oil, therefore
will he sure to have the genuine by sealing a minus:ice to the
proprietors, will be forwarded initnedistely by coach.
