A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. Gd. 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 failing out, eradicating . dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, : healthy condition. It imparts peculiar i vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring 1 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- 1 tain any coloring matter or offensive j substance whatever. Hence it docs not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but prod the color withiu the substance of the hair. • Read the follow- Ing from Mr. Nathan Berry, Chemist, p Walkden : “One of my customers told n ne the other day ho had had grey hair b :or thirty-five years, and after using one S nottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer 1 v, lold him, it ,was restored to and kept) its tl latural color.” It may be had of any V respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer n toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d ser bottle. —Prepared by HENRY C. si 3ALLUP, N 0.493, Oxford reet.London.
