The Indian Dye, for coloring and preserving the
Human HAIR
This excellent and very innocent preparation
differs entirely from the various articles hitherto
used for the same purpose, inasmuch as it is
free from all noxious ingredients, and will not,
in the slightest degree, injure the texture Of the
hair or even stain the skin. Red, light, grey,
or grisly hair, can, in eight hours, be changed
by it to a beautiful and permanent black or
brown; or if applied at night, on going to bed
the change will have taken place by morning.
Whiskers and eyebrows are colored with the
same facility. Price rs cents per bottle.
Louis Indian Oil.
The Indian Oil is a compound Of Bears Oil
with other articles Of equal benefit for the
growth and for gradually coloring the hair; it
has obtained much celebrity for its fine effects,
and is in daily demand. 1t gives to the hair
bright and lasting curl and makes it,, when
harsh, soft and beautiful. Persons who are be-
coming grey will find the Indian Oil of much
service in preventing so great calamity, as it
surely is, to the fashionable lady, or the aspiring
bachelor No other direction for its use is ne
cessary than to dress the hair with it as is done
with Pomatum or Bears Oil. Price IS cents
per bottle.
Purified Bears Oil.
Among the many articles offered to the pub
lie for the growth and preservation of the hair,
none seem to have given SO much satisfaction as
the Purified Bears OIL which has been known
in many instances to restore the hair on heads
which have been bald for years; it also prevents
the hair from falling out, and quickly restores
it when lost from sickness, or any other cause.
1t gives to the most stubborn locks strong,
glossy and lasting curl, removes the dandrutf
which often impedes the growth Of the hair,
causing headache &c.
The Bears Oil is far superior to Antique or
Macassar Oils which, being of vegetable origin,
soon make the hair hard and crisp, while ami
NAL oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beau
tiful. Of the latter class, the Bears Oil, being
more penetrating, is. of course, preferred. Mo-
theirs will find it excellent for the heads of their
children, and to gentlemen Of fashion it is re-
commended Tor the growth OF WhlSKerS When
used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of
the hair with penetrating hair-brush, which
excites also a healthy action in the skin; the
hair should be well oiled every other day, be-
fore combing it. Being highly purified, and
pleasantly perfumed, it will be found decidedly
superior to ANY other article for constant use in
dressing the hair. Price rs cents per bottle.
Pearl Po1rder
1t is not the intention of this preparation to
paint the skin, but merely to remedy the effects
of heat, which it does by gently cooling its sur
face, and preventing sudden changes of the
complexion. This powder will be found free
from any deeterious articles, and may be used
with perfect safety. Price 25 cents per box.

ed; the good qualities of the Chlorine, so useful
for many purposes, has never been better appli-
ed than as cleanser of the teeth and gums. 1t
has been compounded for the purpose, with
other articles Of known utility, and is recon-
mended to the public as preparation of supe
rior value.
BY its use, the diseased gums are restored to
a healthy state, and the progress OF decay in un-
sound teeth prevented. 1t gives surprising
