A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY,
An Article that Will Make the Raid and
the Gray Headed Rrjoi.


Ofall the compounds which the chemists
art have given to the world, for hundreds
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 stutfs sold for promoting
the growth and bringing back the rginal
color, are mere humbugs, while not a few
are positively perncious in their effects
upon the scalp and the structure of tho
hair. All HAIR dyes are well known to
chemists as more or less poisonous, be-
cause the change in color is artificial, and
does not depend upon restoration of the
functions of the scalp to their natural
health and vigor. The falling out Of the
hair, the acCumulations Of dasdruf and
the premature change in color, are
all evidences Of a diseased condition of
the scalp and the glands which noursh
the hair. 70 arrest these causes the arti-
Gle used must possess medical as well rs
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 con-
sst of elements almost in their natural
state. Petroleum oil is the article which
is made to work such extraordinary re-
Suits but it is after the best refined arti-
Gle has boon chemically treated, and com
p.etely deOdOriled, that it is in proper
| condition for the toilet 1t was in tar-of
| Russia that the effects of petroleum upon
| the hair were first observed; a Government
| officer having noticed that partial Y bald
| headed servant of his, when trimming
the lamps, had a habit Of wiping his Oil
| besmcared hands in his scauty locks, and
the result was, in a few months, much
finer head of black, glossy hair, than he
| ever had before. The oil was tr ed on
horses and cattle that had lost their hair
from the cattle plague, and the results
were us rapid as they were marvellous.
The names and even the tails of horses
which had fallen out, were completely
restored in few weeks. These expert
ments were heralded to the world, but
the knowledge was practically useless
to the prematurely bald and gray,
as no one in the civilized society
could tolerate the use OF refined
petroleum as dressing for the hair. But
ore skill of one of our chemists has over
come the difficulty, and by process
known only to himself he has, after very
elaborate and costly experiments, sue
CGeded in dCodorzing refined petroleum,
which renders it susceptible of being ham
died us daintily as the famous eau dc CO.
iOgnc. The experiments with the deodor-
lied liquid. on tho human hair, were at.
tended with the most astonishing results.
, \ few applications, where the hair was thin
and falling, gave remarkable tone and Wig
or to tho scalpand the hair, and the natural
color began to appear almost from the
firstapplcation. Every particle ofdandrut
disappears on the first or second dressing,
and the liquid, so searching in its nature
seems to penetrate 10 the roots at once
, and set up a radical change from the start
1t is well known that the most beautiful
: coors are made from petroleum, and by
, some mysterious operation of nature thu
use Of tins article gradually imparts
beautiful light brown color to the hair
e which, by continued use, deepens to
black. The color remains permanent fol
an indefinite length of time, and TIL,
= change IS so gradual that the most init
maze friends can scarcely detect its pro
gress. In a word, it is the most wonder
/ full discovery Of the age, and wei
calculated to make the prematurely bali
and gray rejoice. The name Carrie
