The only Article that aW Restore

WHAT THE WORLD HAS BEEN
WANTING FOR CENTURIES.
large portion of humanity is concerned, is CAR
BoLINE, an article prepared from Petroleum, and
which effects a complete and radical cure in case
of badness, or where the hair, owing to diseases OF
the scalp, has become thin and tends TO fall out.
il is also a speedy restorative, and, while Its use
secures a luxuriant growth of hair, 1t also brings
back the natural color, and gives the most COM
plete satisfaction in the using. The falling at0
the hair, the accumulations of dandruf, and the
premature change in color, are all evidences of .
diseased condition of the scalp and the glands
which nOurish the hair. To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical as well as
chemical virtues, and the change must begin under
the scalp to be of permanent and lasting benefit.
Such an arrole is CARBoLINE, and like many
other wonderful discoveries 1t is found TO consist
of elements almost In their natural state. 9Petro-
leum oil is the article which is made to work such
extraordinary results; but 1t is after ii has been
chemically treated and completely deodorized that
it is in proper condition for the toilet. 1t was in
far-off Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the
hair was first observed, a Government officer hay
Ing noticed that a partially bald-headed servant
of his, when trimming the lamps, had a habit of
wiping his Oil-besmeared hands in his scanty
locks, and the result was In a few months a much
finer head of black. glossy hair than he ever had
before. The oilwas 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 fall
len out, were completely restored In a few weeks.
These experiments were heraldcd to the world,
but the knowledge was practically useless TO the.
prematurely bald and gray, as no one IN civilized
society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum
as 4 dressing for the hair. But the skill of one of
our own chemists has overcome the difficulty, and,
by a process known only to himself, he has, after
very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded
IN deodorizing petroleum, which renders II sus-
ceptlble OF being handled as daimtlly as the famous
eda de cologne. The experiments made with the
deodorized liquid on the human hair were at
tended with the most astonishing results. 4 few
applications where the hair was thin aud falling
gave remarkable tone and vigOr to the scalp and
hair Every particle of dandruT disappears on
the first or second dressing, and the liquid, so
searching in its nature, seems to penetrate to the
roots at once aud set up a radical change from the
start, 1t is well known that the most beautiful
colors are made from petroleum, and by some mys-
terious operation of nature the use of this article
gradually imparts a beautiful !ight-brown color
TO the hair, which, by continued use. deepens to .
black. The color remains permanent for an iuz
definite length of time. and the change is so grad
ual that the most intimate friends gan scarcely
detect its progress. In a word, It Is the most won
derful discovery of the age, and well calculated
10 make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice.
We advise our readers to give IL q trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them
of It's wonderful efrects.-PSasbRrs Commercial If
