4 y Chemists art haze given to the world for
hundreds of years for the purpose OF 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 stuffs sold for
promoting the grow th and bringing back the original
color are mere humbugs, while not few are posi-
lively pernicous ia their effects upon the scalp and
the structure of the hair. All hair-dyes are we'll
known to Chemists more or less poisonous because
the change IN color is artificial and does not depend
upon restoration OF the functions of the scalp to
their natural health and vigor. The falling out OF
the hair, the aceumulations OF dandruH and the
premature change ia color are all evidences OF a
diseased condition Of the scalp and the glands which
noursh the hair To Srrest these the article
used must possess medical as well as chemical
virtues and the change must begin under 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
eli ments almost in their natural state. Petroleum
oil is the article which is made to work such extra
ordinary results but it is after the best re-
fined article has BEEN chemically treated and
completely deodorzed that it is in proper con.
diton for the toilet, and receives the name
of Carboline. It wGs in far-UH Russia that the
effects of petroleum upon the hair were first
observed, q Government officer having noticed That
a partially bad-headed servant OF his, when trim
ming the Temps, had q habit of wiping his oil
besneared hands in his scanty locks and the result
was, in a few months. much fine- head OF black,
glossy hair than he ever had before. The oil was
tried on horses and cattle that had lost thei hair
from the cattle plague, AID the results were as rapid
as they were marvellous. The names and tails OF
horses which had fallen out were completely re-
stored in a few weeks. These experiments were
heralded to the world, but the knowledge was prac-
ticallY useless to the premltureiy bald and gray as
in civilized society could tolerate the use OF
refined petroleum a dressing for the hair. But
the skill Of one OF chemists has overc )me the
difficulty, and by process known only TO himself,
he has after very elaborate and costly experiments
succeeded in perecting Carboline, which renders 1t
susceptible OF being handled daintiy as the
famous Eau de Cologne. The experiments with the
deodorized liquid, on the human hair and skn were
attended with the most astonishing results. few
applications, where the hair was thin and falling
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp and the
hair. Every partic of dandruff disappears on the
first or sec nd dressing, all cutaneous diseases OF the
skin and scalp are rapidly and permanently healed
and the liquid so searching in its nature seems to
penetrate TO the roots Of the hair at and set
a radical change from the start. It is well known
that the most beautiful coors are made from petro
leum and by some mysterious operation OF nature
the use of this article gradually lmparts beautiful
light-brown color to the hair, which by continuous
use deepens to black. The color remains perma-
nent for an indefinite length of time, and the change
is so gradual that the most intimate friends can
scarcely detect its progress In a word, it is the
