because the change Of color is artificial, and does not
depend on a restoration Ofthe functions Of the scalp
to their natural health and yigor. The falling out ut
the hair, the accumulstions Of dandrun, and the
premature change in color, are all evidences ola
diseased condition Of the scalp and the glands which
nourish the hair. To arrest these causes the article
used must possess medicinal as we'll ~ chemical yir
tues, and the change must begin UNDER the scalp 10
be Of permanent and lasting benefit. Such an article
has been discovered, and, like many other wonderful
discoveries, IL Is found 10 consist Of elements almost
in Their natural state, Petroleum oil is the article
which Is made to work such extraordinary results
but. ills after the best article has been chemically
treated, and completely deodorized, that II is in a
proper condition for the toilet. ltwas In far of Russia
that the effects Of petroleum upon the hair were first
observed a government officer having discovered
that a partially bald servant Of his, while trimming
the lamps, had a habit Of wiping his oil .besmeared
hands In his scanty locks, and the result Was, Ia $
few months, a much finer head of black, glossy hair
than he 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 as they were
marvellous. The names and even the tails of horses
which had fallen out, were con pletely restored in a
few weeks. These experiments were heralded to the
world, but the knowled e was practically useless 10
those prematurely laid and gray, as no one in civil.
ICED society could tolerate the use Of refined petroleum
as a dressing for the hair. But the skill Of one of our
chemist has overcome the difficulty and, by a pro.
cess known only TO himself, he has, after very costly
and elaborate experiments, succeeded in deodoriZlng
refined petroleum, which renders il susceptible Of
being handled as daintily as the famous EAU DE co.
LoGNE. The experiments wi h the deodorized liquid
on the human hair were attended with the most az.
tonishing results. A few applications where the hair
was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and vigoT
to the scalp and hair. Every particle ofdandruffdis
appears on the first or second dressing, and the liquid.
80 searching in lis nature, seems to penetrate 10 the
roots at once, and set up a radical change from the
start. II is well known that the most beautiful colors
are made from petroleum, and, by some my sterious
operation, the use Of this article gradually impalts
a beautiful light.brown color to the hair, which, by
continued use, deepens to a black. The color remains
permanent for an indefinite length Of time, and the
change is so gradual that the most intimate friend,
can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, II Is the
most wonderful discovery of the age, and well calcu.
lated to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice
We advise our readers TO give II a trial, feeling sat.
