A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
An Article That VIII Make the Bald and
the Gray Headed Rejoice.

Ofsll the compounds which the chemists
art have given TO the world, for hundreds
of years, for the purpose of restoring the
hair 10 its natural growth and color, not
one has been perfect. Many OF the hair
: dressings of the day are excellent, but the
great mass OF the stutfs sold for promoting
the growth and bringing back the original
color, are mere humbugS, while not a few
are positively perniciouS in their ELECTS
upon the scalp and the structure of the
hair. All hair dyes are well known TO
chemists as more or less poisonous, be-
cause the change in color is artificial, and
does not depend upon restoration of the
functions of the scalp 10 their natural
health and vigOr. The falling out of tho
hair, the accumulations Of dandrulE, and
the premature change in color, are
all evidences of a diseased condition of
the scalp and the glands which nourish
the hair. To arrest these causes the arti-
Gle used must possess medical as we'll as
chemical virtues, and the change must
begin under the scalp TO be of permanent
and lasting benotit. Such an article has
been discovered, and like many other
wonderful discoveries it is found 10 con-
sist of elements almost in their natural
state. Petroleum oil is the article which
is made to work such extraordinary re-
suits; but il is after the best refined arti-
Gle has been chemically treated, and COM
pletely deOdOriZed, that it is in proper
condition for the toilet. 1t was in far-Otf
Russia that the effects of petroleum upon
the hair were first observed; a Government
officer having noticed thai partially bald
headed servant OF his, when trimming
the lamps, had a habit Of wiping his oil
besmeared hands in his scanty locks, al |
the result was, in few months, much
finer head of black, glossy hair, than no
ever had before. The oil WAS tried on
horses and cattle that had lost their hair
from the cattle plague, and the results
were as rapid rs they were marvellous.
The names and even the tails of horses,
which had fallen out, were completely
restored in few weeks. Those oXperi-
ments were heralded u the world, but
the knowledge was practically useless
to the prematurcly bald and gray,
as no ono in tho civilized society
could tolerate tho use OF refined
petroleum as a dressing for the hair. But
the skill of one OF our chemists has over
come the difficulty, and by Il process
known only TO himself he has, after very
elaborate and costly experiments, sue
cecded in deodorizirg refined petroleum,
which renders it susceptible o! being ham
died Us daintily rs tho famous eau de CO..
tonne. The experiments with the deOdOr-
lied liquid. on the human hair, wore at
tended with the most astonishing results.
\ few Applications, where the HAIR was thin
and falling, gave remarkable tone and Wig
or to the seal pand the hair, and the natural
color began to appear almost from the
first application. Every particle ofdandrulf
disappears on the first or second dressing,
and the liquid, so searching in its nature,
seems to penetrate 10 the roots at once,
and set up a radical change from the start.
1t is well known that the most beautiful
colors are made from petroleum, and by
some mysterious operation Of nature the
use Of tins article gradually imparts a
beautiful light brown color to the hair.
which, by continued use, deepens % a
black. The color remains permanent for
an indefinite length of time, and tho
change Is SO gradual that the most init
mate friends can scarcely detect its lro-
gress. In word, it is the most wonder,
full discovery OF the age, and well
calculated to make the prematurelv bald
and gray rejoice, The name Carbo-
line has been given TO the article, and IS
put up in n neat and attractive manner
and sold by all dealers in Drugs and Medi-
cines. Price one Dollar bottle.
