CRYSTAL DISCOVERY:
1T affords me much pleasure to bear tcstlmo-
nv as to the efficacy OF your Crystal Discovery.
Some years since, while in India, suffered from
q severe fever peculiar to the country. On my
recovering patch of hair on the left side OF my
head became perfectly white, without at all af-
fccting the remainder To remove this unsightly
appearance, had recourse to various prcpara-
tions, both in Europe and in this country but
they all had one great defcct-thcy dyed the
hair black. Now, with your Crystal Discovery,
l can get the desired shade-thc natural color of
my hair being dark brown. | consider your
Discovery the best preparation know OF.
HENRY J. ROGERS.
Now as tho fact becomes more patent every
day that the various dirty and filthy preparations
advertised as REVIEWERS, Restoratives &C., are
but compounds of Sugar of Lead and Sulphur,
and therefore should be summed by all who
value their health, it is scarcely matter Of sur
prise that tho demand for NATTANS' CRIS
tai DISCOVERY, admitted to he perfectly
harmless and yet accomplish all, and more, than
tho poisonous articles claim to do, should have
increased SO rapidly. 1t restores the color and
growth of the hair positively in few days.
strengthens the roots, makes an excellent dress
ing soiling neither clothes nor scalp but on the
contrary it gives the scalp a pure and cleaniy
look, removing all dandruH and scurf 1t is the
most economical preparation in use. Put up in
