FOR PROMOTING AND PRESERVING 'l'llE HAIR.
j'HE ROYAL FAMILY, and Ladies and
.&Gen-
tlemen of Distinction and Fashion, use RUSSIA OIL, for
moistening the hair when dressing, which is so great a nourisher
to the hair as to prevent it turning grey to all periods ; promotes
the growth, makes the hair grow thick and long, prevents its falling
off, and restores it on bald places if the least roots remain. SCV--
ral Gentlemen that ve...re bald, have declared, after using the P. u s •
sia Oil regularly for six months, the bald places became nearly
cos ered with hair ; promotes eyebrows, whiskers, and prevents
them turning grey.
Ladies and Gentlemen, who wear false hair, will find the Ra -
, SIA On. a valuable article to use when dressing, as it gives it a na.
tnral gloss. It is generally 'remarked of persons wearing false hair,
that after a short time wearing it becomes dry and stiff, and is
easily discoverv!—by using the Russia Oil it prevents its being
discovered, as it keeps the hair soft, and renders its appearance
natural.
Ladies and Gentlemen who wish to preserve their hair should
refrain the use of perfumed Oils, as the acid of the perfume causes
dryness to the hair, occasions it to fall off, change, and became
grey at an early age. The Russia Oil is pleasaat to use, warranted
innocent, and a sure nourisher and preserver to the hair.
The high reputation the Russia Oil has gained for preserving
and promoting the hair, and the great demand for it, has intiuced
lately envious persons to copy the advertisement, and advertise
articles for the similar purpose, which have not the effect ; it is
particularly recommended to Observe, the label on the outside
wrapper of each bottle is signed in Russian gold ink,'" sochri.
kufsky and Prince;' any without that signature are counterfeits.

Lathes and Gentlemen wishing to benefit from the Rassia.gil,
should use it ter a short time regularly, as it cannot be expected
to have the desired effect if only applied at intervals.
Price 7s. per bottle, or one bottle containing four small, at one
guinea, or six guinea bottles at five pounds.
