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.
