Nattans' Crystal Discovery for the
Hair.-A perfectly clear preparation in one
bottle, as easily applied as water, for restoring
to gray hair its natural color and youthful
appearance, to eradicate and prevent dan
druff, to promote the growth of the hair and
stop its falling out. 1t is entirely harmless,
and perfectly free from any poisonous sub.
stance, and will therefore take the place of all
the dirty and unpleasant preparations now in
use. Numerous testimonials have been sent
us from many of our most prominent citizens.
In everything in which the articles now in
use are Objectionable, Crystal Discovery is
perfect. 1t is warranted to contain neither
sugar of lead, sulphur or nitrate of silver; it
does not soil the clothes or scalp, is agreeably
perfumed, and makes one of the best dressings
for the hair in use. 1t restores the color of
the hair ''more perfectly and uniformly than
any other preparation and always does so
in from three to ten days, virtually feeding
the roots of the hair with all the nourishing
qualities necessary to its growth and healthy
condition; it restores the decayed and induces
a new growth of the hair more positively than
anything else. The application of this won

cooling effect on the scalp, and gives the hair
a pleasing and elegant appearance. Price 81
