VALUABLE DISCOVERY for th® HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR , RE NEWER, now being sold by mostGhe mists and perfumers througout theboun try, at 3s. fid. per bottle, is fast super* ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair: in eyepy case of greyness to its original color,, wifli out dyeing it or leaving that offensive' smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and gloss, in from, eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradiating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a, clean, healthy condition. It imparts pecdlikr vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness • and vigdr. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural colotaffii richness. It is not a dye, nor does it tain any coloring matter or bfieiiaftes substance whatever. Hence it doer'hot, soil the hands, the scalp, or even white _ linen, but produces the color within' the ’ substance of the hair. Read the follow-, ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “One of iny customers, dold me the other day he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using oho bottle of the Mexican Hair 1 sold him, it was restored to and keptria natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealbr in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. fid. par bottle.—Prepared by HENRY .0.
