If you wish to excel, study nature; this is particularly applicable in making ornamental hair, as unless the previous way of wearing it is imitated, so complete a transformation takes place, that, as Byron says,—"a mother would not know her son." ROSS and SONS having succeeded beyond all calculation in producing perfect imitations of nature, have given the name of the Invisible Ventilating Head of Hair to their productions, and are enabled to offer them to both Ladies and Gentlemen, from one guinea and a half upwards.
THE ATRAPILATORY, OR LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The only Dye that really answers for all colours, and does not require re-doing, but as the hair grows, as it never fades or acquires that unnatural red or purple tint common to all other dyes. ROSS and SONS can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above DYE as infallible; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it are requested, if convenient, to have it done the first time at their establishment, which will enable them to use it afterwards themselves without the chance of failure. They think it necessary to add that, by attending strictly to the instructions given with the Dye, numerous parties have succeeded equally well without coming to them.
BOTANIC WATER AND BEARS' GREASE.
When the hair is becoming thin, and falling off, the only effectual remedy, besides shaving the head, is the use of the two above-named articles, applied alternately, the Botanic Water to cleanse the roots from scurf, and as a stimulant, and the Bears' Grease as a nourisher. If any further evidence was required of the virtues of Bears' Grease for renovating and preserving the hair, Mr. Catlin's account of the quantity used, and the length of hair obtained by some of the North American Indians, would be a sufficient answer. ROSS and SONS, who first introduced the use of Bears' Grease in this country, and who fat and kill the animals, recommend the public to purchase none other but with their names and addresses printed on pot, or the chances are their obtaining a spurious article.
THE NEW TOOTH-PICK AND TOOTH-BRUSH.
Thoroughly cleansing between the teeth when used up and down, and polishing the surface when used crossways, the hair warranted never to come out; in four strengths, viz.:—No. 1, hard; No. 2, less hard; No. 3, medium; No. 4, soft. The double anti-pressure nail-brush, which does not divide the quick from the nails. The triple hair-brush, which thoroughly searches and cleanses the hair in one-fourth part of the time of any other method, and acts as both comb and brush combined. The medium shaving-brush, being a selection of the strongest badgers' hair, so well secured in the socket as never to come loose. And, though last not least, the newly-invented "Renovator" Clothes-brush, which makes an old coat look like a new one, and a new coat to look new double the usual time. Invented and made only by ROSS and SONS.
THE TEETH AND GENERAL HEALTH.
It may be fairly said, the state of the Teeth depends greatly upon the state of the bodily health, and the state of the bodily health depend greatly upon the state of the Teeth. The homopathic principle of infinitesimal doses in all cases of weakness and nervousness, is no doubt the right one, as nature is not then overpowered, but assisted. The United Dentists' Tooth Powder carries this out to its utmost extent, as some of the most strengthening articles in the Materia Medica are contained in it; and a small portion being gradually absorbed every day, not only strengthens the gums, but the whole system. It likewise thoroughly cleanses the teeth, gradually removing the tartar, purifies the breath, thereby preventing infection, and corrects acidity both in mouth and stomach. Address ROSS and SONS.
