A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY!

DECD !s!.E. EXTRACT Or PETROLEUM.
The only Article that wN Restore
Hair on Bald Heads.
WHAT THE WORLD HAS BEEN
WANTING FOR CENTURIES.
The greatest discovery of our day. so far as a
larg" 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 ont.
HI also speedy restorative, and, while its use
secures a luAuriaut growth Of hair. II also brings
back the natural color. and gives the most COM
piete satisfaction in the using. The falling out of
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 n"nrish the hair, To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical as well as
chemical virtues, and the change must begin EHdcr
the scalp To be Of permanent and lasting benefit
such an article IS CARBoLISE, and like many
other wonderful discoveries 1t Is found 10 consist
of elements almost In their natural stale. Prtro-
leum oil is the article which is made 10 work such
extraordinary results; but 1t Is after II has been
chemically treated and completely IroIorized that
IL Is In proper condition for the toilet. 1t was In
far-of Russia that the effect OF petroleum upon the
hair was 1rst observed, a Government officer hay-
blS~n0tiCrd that a partially bald headed servant
"t his. wien trimming the lamps, had a habit Of
wiping his oil-besmeared hands Ia 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 tn" 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 i few weeks.
These experiments were heraldrl to the world.
but the knowledge was practically useless To the
preniaturely 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 own chemists has overcome the difficulty, and,
by n process known only To himself, he has, after
very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded
In deotloriZing petroleum, which renders it sus-
reptlbie OF being handled as daintily as the famous
eau de eotogEe. The experiments made with the
deodorized liquid on the human hair were at
tended with the most astonishing results. A few
applications where the hair was thin and falling
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp aud
hale. Every particle Of dandrug 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. II IS well known that the most beautiful
colors are made from petroleum, and by some mys-
t'Fi"h@ operation OF nature the use of this article
gradually Imparts 4 beautiful light-brown color
TO the hair, which, by continued use. deepcns to a
black. The color remains permanent for an In
definite length Of time, and the change Is so grad
nal that the most intimse friends can scarcely
detect its progress. In a word, 1t Is the most WON
derful discovery OF the age, aud well calculated
TO make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice.
We advise our readers TO give II a trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them
of Its wonderful effe~cts.-Pitts6Erg CommcrciGigf
