Newton's Prepared Colors for Albumen

Pictures.

This new preparation for painting the Card Photograph may be used by any person of taste, though not an Artist, with great expedition and remarkable effect. The colors are fixed, in bottles, into a neat black-walnut box, and the directions for use accompany each box. Pictures painted with them look as if done in the process of taking, the surface not being in the least affected, as with the common water colors. For the amateur, as well as the artist, they are invaluable: a few moments suffice to produce a most elegant and finished picture. Price per box $3.00, and with a large bottle of reducing liquid $3.25. The remarkable success attending these colors has already induced some dishonest person to offer, in a similar style and shape, a worthless imitation. See that the name of the sole Agents for the United States, J. E. Tilton & Co., Boston, is affixed to the box. Fifty Dollars will be paid for the conviction of any person selling this worthless imitation for "NEWTON'S ALBUMEN COLORS."

Copies of beautiful Natural Flowers, Fancy Pictures, Portraits of Distinguished Persons for coloring will be sent by mail for 25 cents each.  J. E. TILTON & CO., Boston.

Lyon's Kathairon. This delightful article for preserving and beautifying the human hair is again put up by the original proprietor, and is now made with the same care, skill, and attention, which first created its immense and unprecedented sales of over one million bottles annually! It is still sold at 25 cents in large bottles. Two million bottles can easily be sold in a year when it is again known that the Kathairon is not only the most delightful hair dressing in the world, but that it cleanses the scalp of scurf and dandruff, gives the hair a lively, rich luxuriant growth, and prevents it from turning gray. These are considerations worth knowing. The Kathairon has been tested for over twelve years, and is warranted as described. Any lady who values a beautiful head of hair will use the Kathairon. It is finely perfumed, cheap and valuable. It is sold by all respectable dealers throughout the world. D. S. BARNES & CO., New York.
