WHAT THE WORLD HAS BEEN
WANTING FOR Centuries.

WHAT the WORLD HAS BEEN
WANTING FOR CENTURIES.
The greatest discovery Of our day, so far as q
large 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 out.
It is also q speedy restorative, and, while its use
secures q luxuriant growth of hair, 1t also brings
back the natural color, and gives the most COM
plete satisfaction in the using. The falling cat Of
the hair, the accommodations of dandruff, and the
premature change IN color, are all evidences Of a
diseased condition of the scalp and the glands
which nourish the hair. To arrest these causes
the article used must possess medical as we'll as
chemical virtues, and the change must begin under
the scalp TO be Of permanent and lasting benefit.
Such an article is CAROLINE, and like many
other wonderful discoveries 1t is found to consist
OF elements almost In their natural state. sPetro-
leum oil is the article which is made to work such
extraordinary results; but it is after 1t has been
chemically treated and completely deodorized that
II is in proper condition for the toilet. 1t was in
far-of Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the
hair was first observed, u Government officer hav-
ing noticed that a partially bald-headed servant
Of his, when trimming the lamps, had a habit OF
wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty

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 the cattle plague, and the
results were as rapid as they were marvellous. The
names and even the tails OF horses. which had fall
len ont, were completely restored I'm a few weeks.
These experiments were heralded to the world,
but the knowledge was practically useless to the
prematurely bald and gray, as no one in civilized
society could tolerate the use Of refined petroleum

our own chemists has overcome the difficulty, and,
by a process known only to himself, he has, after
very elaborate and costly experiments, succeeded
IN deodorizing petroleum, which renders 1t sus-
eeptlbie Of being handled as dainiily as the famous
eau dc cologne. 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 and
hair. Every particle of dandrun disappears on
the FIRST or second dressing, and the liquid, SO
searching In its nature, seems TO penetrate 20 the
roots at once and set up a radical change from the
start. It is well known that the most beautiful
eolors are made from petroleum, and by some mys-
terious operation OF nature the use OF this article
gradually imparts a beautiful light-brown color
TO the hair, which, by continued use, deepens to .
black. The color remains permanent for an IN
definite length Of time, and the change is SO grad
ual that the most intimate friends can scarcely
detect It's progress. In a word, IL is the most won-
derful discovery OF the age, and well calculated
to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice.
We advise our readers TO give It q trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them
OF It's wonderful eTects.-Puts5prg CoInmereiaiQ Of
