PURIFIED BEARS OIL.

AMONG the many articles offered to the pub
n lie for the growth and preservation of the
hair, none seem to have given so much satisfac-
ton 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 pre-
vents the hair from falling out, and quickly re-
stores it when lost from sickness, or any other
cause. 1t gives to the most stubborn locks
strong, glossy and lasting curl, removes the
dandriff, 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 for the growth of whiskers. When
used it should be well rubbed into the roots of
the hair with a penetrating hair-brush, which
excites also a healthy action in the skin; the
hair should be well oiled every other day, be-
fore combng 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 25 cents per bottle.
