Hall began his business in Nashua in the early 1860's. He claimed to have gotten his secret formula from a poor Italian sailor. He was an imaginative advertiser, selling trade cards, key chains, and other items touting his "entirely new scientific discovery, combining many of the most powerful and restorative agents in the vegetable kingdom." This pamphlet explains the science of hair and the restorative powers of his elixir.
