HAIR DYE IN FOUR DIFFERENT COLORS

The most perfect article of this kind manufactured by
the celebrated Berger of Paris, is now for sale in this city
by Fouladoux, in Chestnut Street above Fourth. It will color
the hair black, brown, light brown, or of a very light almost
flaxen color. There is no deception in this, for we have seen
the article tried, and pronounce it, without any exception, the
very best Hair Dye we have ever seen. Those who order will
please specify what kind they want--as one case only contains
one particular dye. In addition to the above, Mr. Fouladoux
manufactures Wigs and Fronts, and furnishes every article
in the hair line.
