Cd. per boMie, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or wnitc hair to its natural original color, for h will positively restore the hair m every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving Unit offensive onieli which most of the hair preparations of iho day do. This preparation lias never boon known to fail in restoring the hair to it> natural color and gloss in from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor. Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does nol 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 my customers told me the other day ho had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Ronswer 1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may be had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d. per bottle.—Pronared by HENRY C.
