The Indian Dye, for coloring and preserving the

brown; or if applied at night on going to bed,

has obtained much celebrity for its fine effects;
and is in daily demand. 1t gives to the hair
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
cesssry 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 Ol-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 dandruff
which often impedes the growth Of the hair eau
sing headache, &c.
The Bears Oil is far superior to Antique or
Macassar Oils which being ofvegetable origin,
soon make the hair hard and crisp, while animal
oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beautiful.
OF the latter class, the Bears Oil being more
penetrating, is, of course preferred. Mothers
will find it excellent for the heads of their chill
dren, and to gentlemen of fashion is is recon-
mended for the growth OF WhiSkers When
used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of
the hair with penetrating hair-brush, which
eXcites also healthy action in the skim; the hair
should be well oiled every other day, before
combing it. Being highly purified and plea
sanity perfumed, it will be found decidedly SUI
perior to ANY other article for constant use in
dressing the hair Prince 25 cents per bottle.

paint the skin, but merely to remedy the effects
ofheat, which it does by gently cooling its sur
face, and preventing sudden changes Of the
complexion. This powder will be found free
from any deleterious articles, and may be used
with perfect safety. Price 25 cents per box.
Compound Chlorine Tooth Wash
This highly popular preparation is believed to
be the best wash for the teeth ever discovered;
the good qualities Of the Chlorine, so useful for
many purposes, has never been better applied
than as a 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
healthy state, and the progress of decay in
unsound teeth prevented. 1t gives surprising
whiteness to the teeth, prevents the accumula-
ton oftartar, and preserves the gums from sour
vy:by destroying the impurities ofthe teeth and
gums; it sweetens the breath-it also keeps the
toothbrush clean, which itself is an object Of
some importance.
