A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY. ry

Ofall the compounds which the chemists
art has given to the world, for hundreds
Of years, for the purpose of restoring the
hair to 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 stuffs sold for promoting
the growth and bringing back the original
color are mere humbugs. while not a few
are positively pernicious in their effects
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 a restoration of the
functions of the scalp to their natural
health and vigor. The falling out of the
hair, the accumulations of dandruff, and
the premature change in color, are all EVIL
| dences of a diseased condition of the scalp
and the glands which nourish the hair.eTo
arrest these causes the article used must
| possess medical as well as chemical virtues,
| and the change must begin xnder the scalp,
to be of permanent and lasting benefit
Such an article has been discovered, and
like many other wonderful discoveries it il
found to consist of elements almost in their
natural state. Petroleum oil is the article
which is made to work such extraordinary
results; but it is after the best refined arti-

pletely deodorized, that it is in proper con-
dition for the toilet. 1t was in far-off Rus
STA that the effects Of petroleum upon the
hair were first observed; a Government
officer having noticed that q partially bald
headed servant of his, when trimming the
lamps, had q habit of wiping his oilbe-
smeared 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 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 manes and
even the tails Of horses which had fallen
out were completely restored in q few weeks.
These experiments were heralded to the
world, but the knowledge was practically
useless to the prematurely bald and gray.
As no one in civilized society could toll
crate the use of refined petroleum as .
dressing for the hair. But the skill of one
Of our chemists has overcome the difficulty,
and, by q process known only to himself,
he has, after very elaborate and costly ex-
periments, succeeded in deodorizing refined
petroleum, which renders il susceptible Of
beiRg handled as daintily as the famous
.du de cologne. The experiments with the
ieodorized liquid on the human hair were
attended with the most astonishing results.
A few applications, where the hair was thin
and falling, gave remarkable tone and yigor
70 the scalp and the hair. and the natural
color began to appear almost from the first
application. Every particle Of dandruff
disappears on the first or second dressing,
and the liquid, SO searching in its nature,
seems to penetrate to the roots at once, and
set up a radical change from the start. IL
IS well known that the most, beautiful col
ors are made from petroleum, and BY some
mysterious operation Of nature the use Of
this article gradually imparts . beautiful
light brown color to the hair, which, by
continued use, deepens to . black The
color remains permanent for an indefinite
length of time, and the change is SO grad
| aal that the most intimate frieuds can
scarcely detect its progress. In Q word, it
is the most wonderful discovery Of the e,
and well calculated to make the prema-
turely bald and gray rejoice The name
Carboline has been gwen to the article,
and is put upin a neat and attractive man
ner. aud sold by all dealers in drugs and
medicines. Price One Dollar a bottle.
