For producing Hair on Bald places, also Whiskers, Eye Brows, Moustache, and may be said to be the True Restorer of Nature's Loveliest Embellishment. For cultivating and improving the Hair, being very light it assists much in preventing the Hair getting out of Curl, so much complained of in damp or warm weather. J. Tyzack, Perfumer to the Queen, Hair Cutter by appointment to several of the Royal Family, has for upwards of Forty years attended strictly to the cultivating and improving the growth of the Hair, for either acquirement or preservation of this treasure,cleanliness, freeness of scurf, and a proper degree of nourishment with the Ceylonese Oil will remedy these inconveniences. In extreme cases apply the Ceylonese Oil at night and the Persian Wash in the Morning. I first fix the Hair then make it Grow. For many years my Ceylonese Oil has been in general use, and has gradually increased in demand. I do not wish to bring a number of cases to your notice, but will only request you to read the letters sent to me in 1837, and amongst many others one in 1847 and 1848:

FROM CAPTAIN CURRY.
Sir, - I have much pleasure in acknowledging to you the very great benefit I have derived from the use of your Ceylonese Oil. A year ago I found my Hair getting very thin and falling off. About six months since I began to use your Oil, and am glad to be able to state that my hair is quite restored to its original strength. I therefore deem it but just to give you this testimony, and I think you cannot fail in having a very large sale of it.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
R.C. CURRY, R.N.
To Mr. J. Tyzack.

FROM Mr. J. PEACOCK.
To Mr. J. Tyzack.
Holkham, October 4th, 1847.
Sir,- On the 22nd of May, in consequence of my Hair falling off to such an extent, I called upon you to order a wig to be made immediately,you offered to restore my hair in less than three months or charge me nothing if you failed. I had no opinion of it at the time that you would do it, however, under your directions I set to work with a bottle of your Ceylonese Oil, and a bottle of your Persian Wash, and to my astonishment in less than a week the small portion of hair I had on my head was quite fast, it was truly magic; on the 23rd of June I had another bottle of Oil and Wash, which I have not finished, and am happy to say that I have plenty of hair on my head. You are at liberty to make what use you please of this letter, and also to refer any person to me who wishes to hear my statement.
I am, yours respectfully,
JAMES PEACOCK.

Mr. James Tyzack.
Londonderry, Bedale, Yorkshire.
Sir,- You will oblige me by sending as early as you can a bottle of your Ceylonese Oil and a bottle of Persian Wash, as a friend of mine is wishful to try it. It seems to have quite fixed the little remaining hair I have, and to be producing a fresh growth.
I am, Sir, Yours &c.,
P. V. MERA.
October 2nd, 1848

No one need despair of getting their Hair after hearing my case, my hair turned white, I lost it all and wore a wig, and never expected to get it again; I have since used three bottles of James Tyzack's celebrated Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, recommended to me by a friend, and have now as good a head of Hair as any one can wish, very dark and curley. Any one is at liberty to hear the truth of this statement and case of Baldness by applying to
BENJAMIN WICK,
Upwards of 49 years of age,
Farming Steward, North Basham, Norfolk.
Witness to this statement, William Harman, Ship Owner,Wells, Norfolk.
May 1854.

To Mr. James Tyzack.
Sir,- About six months back I sent for you to shave my head in consequence of losing my Hair, you recommended the application of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, I am pleased to say I have as good a head of Hair as I could wish. You are at liberty to refer anyone tome as I consider it right your celebrated Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash should be generally known.
Yours, &c.,
HENRY CULLEY.
Burnham Overy, April 30th, 1855.

Another genuine and extreme case.
A neighbour of mine lost nearly all his Hair from a severe illness, in the winter, and was told by his Medical Attendant that nothing but shaving the head would save his hair. The constant application of my Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, in a few months has produced a finer head of hair than ever he had before. Not wishing to have his name published but have no objection to be referred to.
Wells, Norfolk, May, 1835

To Mr. James Tyzack.
Wells, February 25th, 1855.
I lost all my hair, and, in a few short months, it was again restored, by the use of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash. I hadno fever or illness of any kind. You are at liberty to refer any one to me. I am pleased indeed with my new head of hair.
HARRIET ELSDEN.
Witnesses by her Mother.

Mr. James Tyzack.
Sir,- I had always plenty of hair on my head until within the last few weeks, it combed off very rapidly. By the application of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash, it is perfectly restored and I now have a good head of hair, soft and easy to curl.
MARY DUNGY.
Rainham, October 1855.

Wells, Norfolk, October, 1855.
Sir,- About three months back I called to consult you about my hair, I had scarcely any on my head, after the application of your Ceylonese Oil and Persian Wash for a short time, it was again restored in abundance. You are quite at liberty to refer any one to me.
To Mr. James Tyzack.
ANN WABON.

Something worth knowing, what to do, and how to keep a good Head of Hair.
I have used your Ceylonese Oil all my life, and to use it carefully consider it as cheap and much better than any other preparation for the Hair. I have lately had a very severe confinement, three weeks after you attended to my hair, and again in three weeks not a hair combed off. You are at liberty to refer anyone to me, I have plenty of hair and of a good colour.
1856.

After a Walk - after a Ride - after a Bath - after an Illness - after Fatigue of any kind, use my Refreshing Persian Wash, at the same time it Cleans, Preserves, Refreshes, and Beautifies the Hair.

To be obtained through all Perfumers and Medicine Vendors in the Kingdom.

JAMES TYZACK'S CEYLONESE OIL,

HIGH STREET, WELLS, NORFOLK.
BY SPECIAL WARRANT AND DOUBLE PATENT,
SANCTIONED BY H. R. H. PRINCE ALBERT,
ROYAL LETTERS THROUGH THE MARQUIS OF EXETER, AND THE RIGHT HON. G. E. ANSON,
AND UNDER THE IMMEDIATE PATRONAGE OF THE
RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LEICESTER,
LORD LIEUTENANT OF THE COUNTY.

J. TYZACK’S
DOUBLE PATENT BRITISH RAZOR
Has now stood the test of time and use; and it is a well-known fact, that one hair’s breadth imperfect on the edge of the Razor throws the whole out of order. To guard against this or any other imperfection, all J. TYZACK’S DOUBLE PATENT BRITISH RAZORS are finished and worked on the face in his own Shop, where the system of Testing, Proving and Perfecting each Razor, is carried out to the fullest extent possible. Forty years’ practical experience in Shaving. After use, wipe the Razor with the piece of leather sent with each.
Nervous persons cannot easily out themselves with it, being so elastic it retreats when it meets with obstructions on the face. It will scarcely ever require more in sharpening than the Strop, which requires some little pressure in use.
To the trade this Razor will be the greatest saving of time, trouble and expense, for one Razor will accomplish the work of six, with very little attention.
One trial of J TYZACK’S British Razor will prove all that can possibly be said of it, for all that has been said, if printed, would appear only like puffing, which J. T. particularly wishes to avoid, feeling assured that a good article in the present day will find its own way.
They are invaluable to Merchants and Captains going Foreign, as they supersede all GRINDING. Sent out in wrappers signed in full by the Inventor in Black Ink.
N.B.—Apply J. TYZACK’S British Paste to your Strop once a month.
Ladies and Gentlemen may rely on having a good Article, and a LARGE STOCK to select from, in JEWELLERY, PERFUMERY, first-rate CUTLERY, TORTOISESHELL, and IVORY COMBS, HAIR, CLOTHES, TOOTH, and NAIL BRUSHES, and SPONGES. All kinds of FANCY and PLAIN SOAPS. PIANOFORTES for SALE or HIRE. PATENT MEDICINES. Splendid WEDDING RINGS. Fine Old CIGARS and SNUFF.
