WHAT The WORLD HAS BEEN
WANTING FOR CENTURIES.

The greatest discovery of our day so far as a
large portion of humanity is concerned, is CAR

the hair, the aeeumuations of dandruif, and the
premature change in color, are all evidences OF a
diseased condition of the scalp and the glands
which noursh the hair. To arrest these causes
the article used must possess med cil as we'll as
chemical virtues, and the change must bein under
the scalp TO be of permanent and lasting benefit.
Such an article is CARBoLINE, and like many
other wonderful discoveries it is found to consist
OF elements almost in their natural state. Petro-
leum oil is the article which is made work such
extraordinary results, but it is after it has been
chemically treated and completely deodor lied that

far-oH Russia that the effect of petroleum upon the
hair was first observed, a Government officer hav-
Ing noticed that partially bald-headed servant
of his, when trimming the lamps had a habit of
wiping his oil-besmeared hands in his scanty
locks, and the result was in few months a much
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
len out were completely restored in a few weeks.
These experiments were heraded to the world,
but the knowledge was practically useless to the
prematurely bald and gray, no one in civilized
society could tolerate the 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 deodoriZing petroleum, which renders it sus-
ceptible of being handled dainti!y the famous

gradually imparts beautiful light brown color
to the hair which, by continued use. dcepets to a

definite length of time and the change is so grad

detect its progress In word, it is the most Nor-

to make the prematurely bald and gray rejoice
We advise our readers to give it a trial, feeling
satisfied that one application will convince them
of its wonderful effects.-Pttsburg Commercial of
