GRAY HAZE
The Mysteries Of Carboline as Eesrors-
tive.

The composition of the human hair has
never been accurately or satisfactorily de-
termined. Chemical analysis has revealed
its main constituents, but. as it varies es-
sentially in different persons. and in the
same person at different ages, it is impossi-
BILE todetermine with any accuracy exactly
what quality is lacking where person be
comes prematurely gray, or what prepare
ton is best suited to restore the natural
growth and vigor where the hair falls out
20 as to produce badness. Hence it is that
all artificial preparations have failed, Ia
some essentials at least, to meet the re-
quirements Of perfect hair restorative.
There are q number Of excellent dressing
and washings and scores of preparations
thatare either Indifferent or positively IN
furious. and the great multiplicity Of these
furnishes an argument in support OF the
fact that there is something lacking in
them all. The new article. Carboline, con
tains all the qualities essential to a perfect
hair restorative, both rs regards natural
color and full. luxuriant growth. The
basis of Carboline is petroleum, and in
that wonderful article, produced in Ma
ture 8 own laboratory, are properties whiel;
the chemists art has not yet been able
to combine. and which act ike magic upon
the scalp, the foIlic,es, and the various ele
ments Of which the hair is composed. Its
use as a hair-dressing is the greatest OF
modern discoveries, and there is no longer
any reason why the prematurely gray
and the bald should not, at q trifling ex-
pense, secure TO themselves that most de-
sirable and attractive Of all personal adorn-
ments, luxuriant and healthy growth of
hair. Sold BIZ druggists
