The sediment contains mercury, lead, and bismuth. III. ENAMELS FOR THE SKIN. Grains of lead in one fluid ounce, after shaking. Eugenie's Favorite, 108.94 grains. Phalon's Snow-white Enamel, 146.28 " Phalon's Snow-white Oriental Cream, 190.99 " CONCLUSION.--It appears from the foregoing,-- 1. The HAIR TONICS, WASHES, and RESTORATIVES contain lead in considerable quantities; that they owe their action to this metal, and that they are consequently highly dangerous to the health of persons using them. 2. With a single exception, Perry's Moth and Freckle Lotion, the LOTIONS for the skin are free from lead and other injurious metals. 3. That the ENAMELS are composed of either carbonate of lime, oxide of zinc, or carbonate of lead, suspended in water. The first two classes of enamels are comparatively harmless; as harmless as any other white dirt, when plastered over the skin to close the pores and prevent its healthy action. On the other hand, the enamels composed of carbonate of lead are highly dangerous, and their use is very certain to produce disastrous results to those who patronize them. HAIR RESTORATIVES: A BALD BACHELOR'S EXPERIENCE. A gentleman of perhaps thirty-five years of age once called upon the writer for advice relative to baldness, when he related the following experience, permitting me to make a note of it at leisure. "In 1865 my friends intimated to me that my hair was getting slightly thin on the crown of my head. I have always had a mortal terror of being bald, and daily examinations convinced me that my fears were about to be realized. My first inquiry was for a remedy. "'What shall I do to prevent its falling out?' I nervously inquired. "'Get a bottle of Dr. ----'s Hair Restorative,' one advised; another, some different preparation,--all advertised remedies,--till I had a list a yard long of various washes, preventives, restorers, etc., _ad infinitum_. "I obtained one of _the very best_. I used it as directed. It _stuck_ as though its virtue consisted in sticking the loose hairs firmly to the firmer-rooted ones. But alas! after a month's trial, sufficient hair had come out of my head to make a respectable _chignon_! "I next got some of Mrs. A. S. S. Allon's--or All--something; I forget the rest of the name; I'm sure of the A. S. S., however,--and that was worse than the _gum-stick-'em_ kind, for the hair came out faster than before. "In despair, I applied to a 'respectable apothecary,' who keeps the next corner drug store. 'For God's sake, Mr. Bilious, have you got any good preventive for falling of the hair?' I exclaimed. "'O, yes, just the article,' he replied, rubbing his palms vigorously. He then showed me his stock, consisting of _thirty-nine different kinds_!
