A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWED, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers throngout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. 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 every case of greyness to its original color, with 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, 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 tees the color within the substance of tho hair. 'Read the follow- , ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkden : “One of n;y customers told me the other day ho had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one ; bottle of the hlcxican Hair Renew er 1 sold him, it was restored to and kept its I natural color.” It may bo had of any respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. Cd. per bottle. —Prepared by HENRY C : GALLUP, No. 493, Oxford reet, London.
