A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s, Cd. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing grey or wivite hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair <in every case of greyuess to its original color, with out dj'eing 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, 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 not [ soil the hands, the scalp, or even white ) linen, but prod '.oes the color within the substance of the hair.
