A very , nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE. MEXICAN HAIR RE NE WER, now being sold by moat Che mists and perfumers. througout 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, colpr, for‘it will positively restore the hair in every dadobf greypess to its original color, with out dyeingit or leaving that offensive 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 jto 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 Tadqd, ;gi?ey, 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 the hair. Read the folldw ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, Walkfien:"' * One -of my customers told methe other day he had -had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewed 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.—Prepared by HENRY Q.
