woNDERFUL DISCOVERY.
An Article that Will Make the Bald
and the Gray Headed Rejoice.

OF all the compounds which the chem
lists art have given to the world for hum
dreds 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 stulfs sold for promoting
the growth and bringing back the original
color are mere humbugs, while not 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, because
the change in color is artificial, and does
not depend upon restoration of the func-
tions of the scalp to their natural health
and vigor. The falling out of the hair, the
accumulations of dandruff and the prema-
ture 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 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 article has been discovered, and, like
many other wonderful discoveries, it is
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
Sia that the effects of petroleum upon the
hair were first observed-a Government
officer having noticed that partially bald
headed servant of his, when trimming the
lamps had a habit of wiping his oil
besmearcd hands in his scanty locks, and
the result was, in 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 completely restored in
q few weeks These experiments were her
aided 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 a dressing for the hair. But the skill of
one of our chemists has overcome the diff
Guilty, and by a process known only TO him
self he has, after very elaborate and costly
experiments, succeeded in deodorizing re-
fined petroleum, which renders it slss-
ceptible of being handled as daintily
as the famous eau de cologne. The
experiments with the deodorized liquid,
on the human hair, were at
ttnuel Nllll lllc IloSb lcSllllS n
few applications where the hair was thin
and falling, gave remarkable tone and
vlgor to 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 i'll its
nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at
once, and set up radical change from the
start. 1t is well known that the most beau
tiful colors are made from petroleum, and
by some mysterious operation of nature the
use Of this article gradually imparts Il beau
tiful 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 gradual
that the most intimate friends can scarcely
detect its progress. In a word, it is the
most wonderful discovery of the age, and
well calculated to make the prematurely
bald and gray rejoice. The name Carboline
has been given the article, and is put up in
a neat and attractive manner, and sold by
all dealers in drugs and medicines. Price 81

We advise our readers to give it trial,
feeling satisfied that one application will
convince them of its wonderful effects.
