| Haskell's Coloris Capilli Restitutor | |||||||
Ebenezer P. Haskell started his Drug business in New York City around 1844. He was initially listed on Mulberry, then, in 1854, Lewellen S. Haskell was listed in Haskell & Merrick. I don't know for sure, but I think E. P. Haskell was probably the father of C. F. Haskell. In the 1859 New York City Directory, F. G. Ford was listed as the Proprietor of this product. The following ad was transcribed from the Feb 14th, 1856 New York Independent.THE HAIR RESTORED. That hair once turned gray can be restored, so as to grow from the root to its original color, by any medical agency, has heretofore been deemed impossible; but the united testimony of many who have tried it, proves that this desireable object can be accomplished by the use of Haskell's Coloris Capilli Restitutor. Prepared and sold at 83 Nassau Street, New York. The promptness and certainty with which it acts has surprized all scientific men who have witnrssed its effects. Removing the obstructions to natural secretion, it restores healthy action to the scalp, its original hue to the hair, and that moisture and lustre, which are so much coveted. -- Saturday Courier. For sale by Hegeman & Clark, Rushton, Chilton, and C.H. Ring, Broadway, New York; H.D. Johnson, 181 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia; Canby & Hatch, Baltimore, and Druggists generally throughout the country.C. F. Haskell was running advertisements by 1856 which located him at 82 Nassau Street. A listing in the 5th Edition of Kovel's Price Guide indicated that there was an iron pontil version of the bottle, from New Mexico.
