Ola. the eompoun's which the chemists ART mas
given 10 the world for hundreds VI years for the pur
dose Of restoring the hair to its natural growth and
color not one has cen T~erfect. Many Of the hair
dressings Of the day are excellent, but q e great mass

not a lew are positively penicious In their effect upon
the scalp ana the structure Of he hair. Allhpir dyes
are wen known TO chemists as more or le 5 poisonous
because the change Of color is artificial, aud does not
depend ON n restoration Of the functions Of the scalp
TO their natural health and Vi or. The falling out oi
'he halr, the accumulations Of daudTuf, and the
premature change In color, are all evidences ola
diseased condition Of the scalp and the glands which
n0urish the hair. To arrest these causes the article
used must possess medicinal as well as chemical yir-
tues, and the change must brgin UNDER the scalp 10

has been discovered, aud, like many other wonderful
discoveries, II IL found 10 consist OF elements almost
In their natural slate. Petroleum oil IL the article
which Is made to work such extraordinary results
but tits after the best article has been chemically
treated, and completely deOdorized, that it is in a

few months, a much finer head Of black, glossy hair
than he ever had before. The oil wa. tried on horses
and cattle that had lost their hair from the cattle
plague, and the results were Us rapid as they were
marvellous. The names and even the tails OF horses,
which had fallen out were completely restored In a

world but the knOwlcd e was practically useless to

lied society could tolerate the use of refined petroleum
as a dressing for the hair. But the skin Of one Of our
chemist has overcome The difficulty, and, by a pro.
cess known only to himself, he has, after very costly
and elab rate experiments, succeeded in deOdOriZing
refined petroleum, which renders it 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 as.
tonishing results. A few applications, where the hair
was thin and falling, gave remarkable tone and yigoI

roots At once, and set up u radical change from the
start. 1t is well known that the most beautiful color
are made from petroleum, and, by some my steriOus
operation, the use Of this article gradually impaIts
Il beautiful light-brOwn color TO the hair, which, by a
continued use, deepens to u black. The color remains
permanent for an indefinite length Of time, and the
change is 80 gradual that the most intimate friends
can scarcely detect its progress. In a word, 1t is the
most wonderful discovery Of the age, and well calcu
