UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

R. WILSON CARR, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.

IMPROVED HAIR-RESTORATIVE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 50,901, dated November 1 l, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, R. WILSON CARR, of the city of Baltimore and State of Maryland, have invented a new medical compound to pro duce hair on bald heads where the hair-follicles are not dead, to prevent hair from falling out, and to cause it to grow more thickly and with greater luxuriance where it is thin and scanty, which compound I denominate Forrests Hair Restorative, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying specimens of each of the ingredients entering into the composition thereof.

The nature of my invention consists in combining, in equal parts, the expressed juice or the common onion (genus Allimn) with an alcoholic tincture of the residuum or pulp there of, and flavoring the compound with the oils of rosemary, bergamot, and lemon.

To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its composition and mode of use.

To each one-half gallon of the expressed juice of common onions (genus Album) I add an alcoholic tincture formed by macerating the residuum orpulp of the same onions from which the juice has thus been expressed in one-half gallon of alcohol, thus making one gallon of the compound. To this compound I add two ounces of oil of rosemary and oneounce each of oil of lemon and oil of bergamot. The restorative thus made is to be applied freely to the scalp where the hair is thin and falling out, or where the head is entirely bald if the hairfollieles are not entirely dead.

That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Combining the expressed juice of the onion with the alcoholic tincture of the residuum or pulp thereof, as above set forth, and flavoring the compound with the oilsof rosemary, lemon, and bergamot, as herein described, and also suing the same as a hair preserver and restorative, as herein specified.

R. WILSON CARR.
