Gloss.

.. ..... Gloss.
There are some who do not appear to
be conscious that majority Of people are
intuitively aware of the difference between
gloss and shine. 1t is easy enough to grease
a head of hair, for example, with lard and
give it sleek, shiny appearance, but it
can never in this way have the rich glossy
look impaired by the elegantly perfumed
Louisiana Creole Hair Restorer. Ladies
who have tried it, say there is nothing SUI
perior to it, yet there is not particle OF
grease in its composition, aud will not
stain the most delicate fabric. This fine
hair dressing and restorer is for sale by all
druggists. Wholesale depot at Nashville,
