The Human Hair

HAS LONG BEEN THE STUDY OF THE
L most scientific men Of the age. from the fact
that close study generally causes the hair TO fall OF
prematurely: and in consequence, they have given
the subject portion of their valuable time trying
TO invent some method TO regain their lost locks;
but all their labor WAS in vain, until
PROFESSOR CROCKETT,
after many years Of hard study devoted to this one
subject, has produced an article that
WILL MAKE HAIR GROW,
and which. by its use as HairD ressing viii ef-
tectFallY and always prevent It's loss-eyen TO eX

Happily, the AMYGALTNE. while possessing
these virtues is most delightful and agreeable
without regard To their virtue.
The Hair, when diseased becomes harsh and dry
aud commences to turn grey. which Is caused b,
the nCn-secretlon, b. the capillary glands OF a pc
culiar oil All stimulants have their reaction and
the more the glands were siimulafed-the sooner
the final loss of the much priced locks.
The principle Of the preparation invented by
Professor Crockett is entirely the opposite; in
stead of stimulating the capillary glands, he feeds
them with the substance they require, and in turn
the hair Is fed by them-on the same principle as
giving water to a flower.
Al We will say to those who are timid about try
ing new preparations is that strictly guarantee
