The greatest discovery Of our day, 50 far asa
large portion of humanity Is concerned is Carlo
line, an article prepared from Petroleum, and
which effects complete ana radical cure in cases
of badness or where the hair, owing to disease OF
.he scalp has become thin and tends to fall out.
II is also speedy restorative, and while its use Sc
cures 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 aecumulations of dandruf and the pre-
mature change in color, are all evidences OF
diseased condition Of the scalp and the glands
which nourish the hair. To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical a. well az
chemical virtues, and the change aust begin under
the scalp TO be Of permanent and lasting benefit.
Such an article is Carboline and like many other
wonderful discoveries 1t is found to consist
of elements almost in their natural state.
Petroleum oil is the article which Ia
made to work such extraordinary results, but it Is
after it has been chemically treated and COM
pletely deodorized that it is in proper con
dition for the toilet 1t was in far off Russia that
the effect of petroleum upon the hair was first OBJ
served, Government officer having noticed that
partially bald-headed servant of his, when trim
ming the lamps, hs1 habit OF wiping his oil
besmeared hands in his scanty locks, and the re-
suit was in few months u much finer head OF
black, glossy hair than he ever had before The
oil was tried on horses aud 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
experments were heraldcd to the world, but the
knowledge was practically useless to the premn
turely bald and gray as one N civilized society
could tolerate the use of refined petroleum as a
dressing for the hair. But the skill OF one OF oul
own chemists has overcome the difficulty, and by
a process known only to himself he has after very
elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded iu
deodorizing petroleum, which renders it sus-
ceptible of being handled as daintily as
the famous eau de cologne. The expert
ments made with the deodarized LIQUID on the
human hair were attended with the most aston
ishing results. A few applications where the ha r
was thin and falling gave remarkable tone and
vigor to the scalp and hair Every particle OF
dandruff disappears on the hrst or second dress

radical change from the start. 1t is well known
that the most beautiful colors are made from
petroleum and by some mysterious op ration OF
nature the use of this article gradually imparts a
beautiful light brown color 10 the hair. which, by
| continued use, deepens to a black. The color re-
