ULDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA.-
This celebrated compound, universally esteemed for its in.
vigorat tug powers in restoring the Hair, has received additional
and distinguished patronage from the important features it
possesses in not soiling the mostdelicate bonnet. For promoting
the growth of Whiskers and Moustachios it has long been held
in estimation by Gentlemen, and renders the toilet incomplete
without it. It also prevents the Hair falling off or turning grey;
cleanses it from dandriff; causes it to curl; and in caves of
baldness is peculiarly active.—Price as. dd., Gs., and Its.
