EMARKABLE CASE of RESTORATION.
1.. V. A strikipg instance of the power of scientific art to remedy
the detects of nature has lately occurred in the case of a Mr. F. Balls,
a gentleman residing at Worthatn, in Norfolk, who, in the year 1842,
on returning.irom harlestone Aarket to Weybred, where he then re-
sided, sustained so severe a fall from his horse, as to bring on an ill-
ness of several months' duration, during which period his hair con-
tinued to come off, till be became, to use his own terms, " as perfectly
bald as if his heat had been shaved ;" and the Rev. J. E. Daniel,
then clergyman of the parish, offered him a wig as a substitute for
his lost hair. Under these circumstanc,s, he was induced to try the
effect or ROWLAND'S MACASSArt OIL, and it is highly gratifying
to add, with the most happy results. As soon as part of a bottle was
used the growth recommenced, and he has new to ho st of a very
thick and luxuriant head of hair, which presents this peculiarity,
that, though prior to losing his hair it evinced no tendency to curl,
the new growth is curly and strong. This fact speaks too strongly
for itself to reqtere observation:—Bell's Messenger.
Beware of " Spurious Imitations !—The genuine article has
the words " itOWLAN D'S '.ll ACAS kit OIL " on the wrapper.
