CA R B 0LIN E,
A Deodorized Extract of Petroleum
as now
IMPROVED AND PERFECTED,
Is Absolutely the Only Article that will Restore
Hair on Bald Heads, and Cure all Dis
eases of the Skin and Scalp.
What the World has been Want
ing for Centuries.

The greatest discovery Of our day, so far as
large portion of humanity is concerned, is Carbo-
line, an article prepared from Petroleum. and
which effects complete and radical cure in cases
OF badness. or where the hair owing to disease Of
.he scalp, has become thin and tends 10 fall out.
1t is also speedy restorative, and while its use
cures luxuriaut 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 accumulations of dandruff and the pre-.
mature change in color, are all evidences of q
diseased condition Of the scalp and the glands
which nourish the hair To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical as well az
chemical virtues, and the change must begin under
the scalp to be OF permanent and lasting benefit
Such All article is Carboline, 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 1t has been chemically treated and COM
petely deodorized that it is in proper con-
dtlon for the toilet. 1t was in far off Russia that
the effect of petroleum upon the hair was first OBJ
served, a Government officer having noticed that
a partially bald-headed servant OF his when trim
ming the lamps, had habit OF wiping his oil
besmeared hands in his scanty locks and the re-
suit was in few months much finer bead 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 few weeks. These
experiments were heralded to the world, but the
knowledge was practically useless to the prema-
turey bald and gray, no one in civilized society
could tolerate the use OF refined petroleum as ~
dressing for the hair. But the skill Of one OF our
own chemists has overcome the difficulty, and by
process known only to himself he has, after very
elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded in
dcodorizng petroleum, which renders it sus-
ceptible Of being handled as daintily as
the famous eau de cologne. The expert
ments made with the deodorized liquid on tho
human hair were attended with the most aston
ishing results. few applications where the la
was thin and falling gave remarkable tone and
vigor to the scalp and hair Every particle of
daudrufr disappears on the first or second dress
ing, and the liquid, so searching in its nature,
seems to penetrate to the roots at once and set up
radical change from the start 1t is well known
Petroleum, and by some mysterious operation of
nature the use Of this article gradually inparts a
beautiful light brown color 10 the hair which, by
continued use, deepens TO a black. The color re-
mains permanent for an indefinite length of time
and the change is so gradual that the most inti-
mate friends can scarcel" detect its progress In
a word it is the most wonderful discovery of the
age and well calculated 10 make the prernaturely
bald and gray rejoice.
We advise our readers to give 1t trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them
of its wonderful effects PittsbuTg Commercial
