CARBOLINE.
A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY |
CAR Boil IN { |.
A DeodOrized Extract of Petroleum.
The Only Article that will Restore
Hair ON Bald Heads.
What the World has been Wanting for
Centuries,

The greatest discovery of our day, so far
as large portion ofhumanity is concerned,
is Carboline, an article prepared from Pc
troleum, and which effects complete and
radical cure in case of badness, or whera
the hair, owing to disease of the scalp, has
become thin and tends to fall out. 1t is
also speedy restorative, and while its use
secures luxurant growth of hair, it also
brings back the natural color, and gives the
most complete satisfaction in the using.
The falling out of the hair the accumuia-
ton of dandruff, and the premature change
in color, are all evidences Of a diseased con.
dition of the scalp and the glands which
nourish the hair. To arrest these causes the
article used must possess medical as well "a
chemical virtues and the change must be-
gin under the scalp to be of permanent and
lasting benefit. Such an article is Carbo'
line, and like many other wonderful dis
coveries it is found to consist of elemena
almost in their natural state. Petroleum
oil is the article which is made to work such
extraordinary results; but it is after it has
been chemically treated and completely de-
odoriZed that it is in proper condition for
the toilet. 1t was i'll far-of Russia that the
effect of petroleum upon the hair was first
observed a Government officer having
noticed that partially bald headed servant
of his, while trimming the lamps had
habit of wiping his oil-besmeared hands in
his scanty locks, and the result was in few
months 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. Ths
names and even the tales OF horses which
had fallen out, were completely restored in
few weeks. These experiments were her
aided to the world, but the knowledge was
practically useless to the prematurely bald
and gray, as no onein civilized society could
tolerate the use of refined petroleum rs a
dressing for the hair. But the skill of ona
of our own chemists has overcome the diff.
Guilty, and by process known only to him>
self, he has after very elaborate and costly
experiments, succeeded in deodorizng pc
troleum, which renders it susceptible of be-
ing handled as daintily as the famous eau
de cologne. The experiments made with
the deodoriZed liquid on the human hair
were attended with the most astonishing re-
suits A few applications where the hair
was thin and falling gave remarkable tone
and vigor to the scalp and hair. Every par
ticle Of dandruff disappears on the first or
second dressing, and the liquid, 50 search
ing in its nature seems to penetrate to the
roots at once and set up a radical change
from the start. 1t is well known that the
most beautiful colors are made from petro.
leum, and by some mysterious operation of
nature the use of this article gradually inns
parts 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 friends can scarcely
detect its progress. In word, it is the
most wonderful discovery of the age, and
well calculated to make the prenaturely
bald and gray rejoice.
| We advise our readers to give it a trial,
feeling satisfied that one application will
convince them of its wonderful effects
