Mr Gibson, whose advertisement appears in the edition for April 5-7,
1764, would have been invaluable to Julia Pastrana and the Bearded Lady,
while his aid would have been equally in demand among those anxious to
cover themselves with the glory of hirsute appendages. Unfortunately for
him, moustaches and beards were not then in demand, nor was baldness so
noticeable as now; but the request for his beautifying paste doubtless
compensated him for other neglects:--
A CARD TO THE LADIES.
MR GIBSON’S Innocent Composition, so greatly admired for its wonderful
effects, in removing by the Roots in half a minute, the most strong
Hair growing in any part of the Head or Face, without the least hurt
to the finest Skin of Ladies or Children; he sells this useful
composition at 5s. an ounce, with such full directions that any Person
may use it themselves.
Also his curious Preparation for coaxing Hair to grow on bald Parts
when worn off by illness, it being allowed by many who have tried many
approved remedies, to fully answer the desired Purpose.
Likewise his Beautifying Paste for the Face, Neck, and Hands, so well
known to the Ladies for giving a true Enamel to the Skin; in pots at
10s. 6d. In lesser pots at 5s. each. The above things to be had of him
and nowhere else in England, next door to the Golden Star in Lower
Cross Street, Hatton Garden, Holborn.--No less a quantity of the
composition can be had than one Ounce, nor of the preparation or paste
than one Pot.
_N.B._--Gibson in gold Letters over the Door.
