Counsel, who informs him that if any one sell. Russia Oil. with
•• Prince" on the wrapper, that is nor Prince's. subject them-
selves to an Injunction is the Court of Chancery, the same as
was granted to DAY AND MARTIN.
In short, PRINCE's CELEBRATED RUSSIA 011. is
so itnptoved with an extra %skiable ingredient, through which
it has made the RUSSIA OIL the greatest nourisher and
preserver to the Hair in the Universe, will make it grow thick
and long, and prevent its filling off or ever turning
