Valuable discovery for the Y HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE, MEXICAN HAIR RE NEWER, now being sold by moat Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3a. 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 moat 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 mid vigor. Daily applications of. this preparation, for a week or two will surely restore' faded, grey, or white hair to its natural color arid richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does hot soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but prod tees 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 he had had grey hair for thirty-five years, and after using one bottle of the Mexican Hair Renewer -I sold him, it was restored to and kept its natural color.” It may bo had of-any.' respectable Chemist, Perfumer, or Dealer in toilet articles in the kingdom, at 3s. 6d per bottle.—Prepared by HENRY 0.
