OF all the compounds which the chem
lists art have given TO the world, for
hundreds OF years, for the purpose Oh
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
stufis sold for promoting the growth and
bringing back the original color are
mere humbugs, while not few are posi-
lively pernicious i'll their effects upon the
scalp and the structure of the hair. All
hair dyes are well known to chemists "a
more or less poisonous, becauset the change
In color Is artificial and does not depend
upon restoration of the functions of
the scalp to their natural health and
Ugor. The falling out of the hair, the
accumulations of dandruff, and the pre-
mature 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 well ns chemical vir-
tues, and the change must begin under
the scalp TO be of permanent and lasting
benefit. Such an article has been dis
covered, and, Like many other wonder
full discoveries, it Is found to consist of
elements almost In their natural
state. Petroleum oil is the arti-
Gle which is made to work such extraor-
binary results; but is after the best
refined article has been chemically
treated, and completely deodorized, that
1t Is III proper condition for the toilette
and receives the names of Carbollne. 1t
was in far-off Russia that the effects of
petroleum upon the hair were first OBJ
served; Government officer having no.
ticed that partially bald headed SER
want of his, when trimming the lamps,
had habit of wiping his oil-besmeared
hands in lis scanty locks, and the result
was, In u few months, q much finer
lead 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 tails of horses, which had fallen
out, were completely restored in few
weeks. These experiments were herald
ed to the world, but the knowledge was
practically useless to the prematurely
bald and gray, as no one in civilized So
ciety could tolerate the use of refined
petroleum as a dressing for the hair.
But the skill of one of our chemists has
overcome the difficulty, and by pro-
cess known only to himself he has, after
very elaborate and costly experiments,
succeeded in perfecting Carboline, which
renders it susceptible OF being handled
as daintly as the famous EAU DE CO.
LoGNE. The experiments with the
deodorized liquid, on the human
hair and skin, were attended with the
most astonishing results. A few appli-
cations, where the hair was thin and tall
ing, gave remarkable tone and vigor to
the scalp and the hair. Every particle
OF dandrutf disappears on the first or
second dressing ail cutaneous diseases
of the skin and scalp are rapidly and
permanently healed, and the liquid, SO
searching in its nature, seems to pene-
trate To the roots of the hair at once, and
set up radical change from the start.
1t is well known that the most beautiful
colors are made from petroleum, and
by some mysterious 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 p ornament
for an indefinite length of time, and the
change is so gradual that the most init
mate friends can scarcely detect its
progress. In a word, it is the most
wonderful discovery of the age, and well
calculated to MAKE the prematurely bald
and gray rejoice. The name Carboline
has been given to the article.
