The inventors of BURNETT's COCAINE
knowing that when the loss of hair occurs,
it is generally from that part of the head
where the greatest heat is necessarily gen.
Grated, and that animal fats by their nature
induce heat rather than alleviate it-turned
their attention and pharmaceutical science
toward vegetable oils, SIS the basis of a
medicament to promote the growth and pre-
serve the beauty of the hair. The oles1n
cocoa, or CoCoANUT OIL, presented itself
most strongly, as possessing many proper
ties peculiarly adapted for the purpose; but
its odor was Objectionable, and its density
Except when exposed to heat) seemed for a
long time to defy ali efforts to render it
available, for popular use, in cooler climates.
By a scientific selection of other ingredients,
those which will chemically combine with
the oil have been discovered, and they
together have produced compound, which
is unqualifedly pronounced to be the best
that has yet appeared.
La the form presented, this oil is perma-
nently deoderlzed and held in combina-
ton which peculiarly adapts it for the toilet;
BURNETr's COCAINE is unrivalled in delicacy
and agreeableness-cooling in its nature
and possesses such penetrating affinity for
the secretions of the skin that it is rapidly
absorbed.
Its greatest efficacy is best secured by a
peIIecL Cleansing, before us app1catiOn, Oh
the hair and scalp, under which circum-
stances this oil allays irritation removes all
tendency to daadruf, and iaauigordtes the
action of the capillaries in the highest degree
It's effect upon the glossiness and richness OF
the hair is such as cannot be surpassed; and
it is offered to the public in the firm belief
that it only requires to be known to super
cede all other preparations. We are conf
dent that no one who will make a trial of
its ficacy will be willing to return to the
use of any other preparation.
