there any dearth of poverty, pathos, and passion. The author is a
jewel."—Blackwood's Magazine.

FURTHER CONFIRMATION OF THE
UNFAILING VIRTUES OF
GLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA.
ONNTLENIEN, January 25, 1636.
I regret that 1 have not earlier acknowledged to you the great benefit
which I have derived from the use of your Balm of Columbia which, in
my own case, I have happily found to possess all the virtues you ascribe
to it ; I at first, and by mere accident, purchased a Bottle from one of
your Agents merely as a trial, and until lately, was unaware of its justly
famed and great celebrity, or of your being resident, and having a prin-
cipal establishment in England, otherwise I should have felt pleasure, and
a sense of duty to you and the public in making this acknowledgment
before. About four years ago I found my Hair rapidly falling off; not
occasioned by any bodily illness, and to such an extent was my head
really bald that I was compelled to wear a -wig; about three months
afterwards I began to use your Balm, and after the lapse of nine months,
and the application of only three 3s. 6d. bottles, 1 was enabled to leave off
the wig, finding my Hair quite restored to its pristine strength, which it
has retained ever since.

I am, gentlemen, yours very obliged,
To Messrs C. &A. Oldridge, • BENJAMIN BRIDGER,
Balm of Columbia Establishment, 11, little Newport-street,
No. 1, Wellington street, Strand. Leicester-square.
Oldridge's Balm causes Whiskers and Eyebrows to grow, prevents the
Hair front turning gray, and on the first application produces a beautiful
curl, frees the Hair front scurf, and stops it fiord falling oft: Abundance
of Certificates from gentlemen of the first respectability are shown by the
Proprietors, C. and A. Oldridge, I, Wellington-street, Strand, where the
Balm is Sold, Price 3s. 6d.. (is., and I Is. per Bottle.
