Coal Oil for the Hair.

It is said, with what
truth we Go not know, that in addition to the
other virtues belonging to the coal oil now
being pumped in such extraordinary abun-
dance in western Pennsy yania, another Yir-
tue has been discovered by distinguished
chemist to be possessed by this mineral oil,
which will, in the estimation of many, quite
threw the others in the shade. 10 a word,
the oils, just as they spe pumped from the
bosom of the earth, are said to be certain
cure for badness; wherever hair has ever
grown hair may be made to grow again by
its application where it is getting thin, the
oil will strengthen it where it is turning
gray, the oil will renew its youth and bring
is back to its fading color. Wigs, toupees
ard scrathes are forever rendered null, void
and Of no effect whatever. Nature, in her
bounty, has superseded forever all necessity
for the artificial and fiimsy disguises. The
oil is said to renew the hair on simple vege.
table principles, by re-invigorating the bulbs
beneath the scalp and renewing the energy.
Should this discovery prove to be all that is
claimed for il, what changes will be wrought
in the condition of the human family-leng
years of venerableness will be taken away,
and miracles of youthful yigor will be wro't
in its appearance.
