New York, ND (1860-70's). Issued 25 cents on demand payment for "any Druggist in the United States or Canadas, One bottle of Lyon's Celebrated Kathairon for preserving, restoring, and beautifying the hair." Signed by Emmanuel Thomas Lyon and Demas Barnes. Emmanuel Thomas Lyon started working as a Chemist in New York City around 1849. His primary product over the years was his "Magnetic Powder" for pest control. In addition, he concocted his Kathairon hair product, as well as an Essence of Jamaica Ginger, sometime prior to 1852. He worked as a Chemist for Demas Barnes, and later for Heath, Wynkoop & Co., who sold these preparations. Demas Barnes was the Proprietor of Kathairon from around 1854 to 1856. Advertisements starting in 1857 indicated that Heath, Wyncoop & Co. were the sole Proprietors by that time. During the period they owned the product, they issued bank notes from "The Kathairon Bank" and claimed to have sold nearly a million bottles.
