WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
Article that viii Mako tho Bald and
tho Gray Headed Rejoice.


Ofall the compounds which the chemists
art has given to the world, for hundreds
Of years, for the purpose of restoring the
hair to It's 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 stufs sold for promoting
the growth and bringing back the original
color are mere humbugs, while not few
are positively perniciouS in their effects
upon the scalp and the structure of the
hair. All hair dyes are well known To
chemists as moro or less poisonous, be-
cause the change in color is artificial, and
does not depend upon q restoration of the
functions of the scalp to their natural
health and viGor. The falling out of tho
hair, the Rccumulations of dandruf, and
the premature change in color, are all cvi-
dances Of diseased condition Of the scalp
aud the glands which nourish the hair. To
arrest these causes the article used must
poVsess medical aswell as chemical virtues,
and the change must begin Hnder 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 consist of elements almost in their
natural state. Petroleum oil is the article
which is made to work such extraordinary
results but it is after the best refined arti-
Gle has been chemically treated, and com
plctely deodorzod, that it is in proper con-
dtion for the toilet TWAS in far-otf Rus
sin that the effects of petroleum upon the
hair were first observed; q Government
officer having noticed that partially bald
headed servant Of his, when trimming the
lamps, had q habit of wiping his oilbe-
smeared hands in his scsnty locks, and tho
result wns, in few months, 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 O. horses which had fallen
out we're 0smpletely restored in few weeks.
These experiments were heralded to the
world, bat the knowledge was practically
useless TO the premRturcly bald and gray,
as no one in civilized society could toll
crate the use Of refined petroleum as a
dressing for the hair. But tho skill Of one
n( our chemists has oyeeconle the difficulty,
and, by process known only to himsclf,
he has. after very elaborate and costly ex-
perlmcnts, succeeded in deodorizing refined
petroleum, WHICH renders it susceptible Of
being handled az daintily as the famous
saU lie cologne The experiments with the
deodorizod liquid on tho human hair were
attended with the most astonishing results.
4 few applications, where the hair was thin
and falling, gave remarkable tone and yigor
10 the scalp and the hair, and the natural
color began TO appear almost from the first
application. Every particle Of dGndruf
disappears on the first or second dressing,
and the liquid, SO searching in It's nature,
seems TO penetrate to the roots at once, and
set up radical change from the start. It
is we'll known that the most beautiful col
ors are made from petroleum, and by some
mysterious operation OF nature the use OF
this article gradually mparts u beautiful
light brown color 10 the hair, which, by
continued use. deepeus to black. The
color remains permanent for an indefinite
length of time, and the change is 30 grad
ual that the most intimate friends can
scarcely detect its progress In word, it
is the most wonderful discovery Of the age,
and we'll calculated to make the prcma-
turely bald and gray rejoice. The name
Carboline has been given to the article,
and is put up in neat and attractive man
ner, and sold by all dealers in drugs and
medicines. Price One Dollar bottle.
