FINE FLOWING RINGLETS.—The care of the Hair in
Infants and Young Children is, by inexperienced mothers and
nurses, too little regarded. No mistake can be more injurious
than the supposition that neglect in this particular can continue
with impunity. The seeds of strength or weakness are laid in
the nursery ; and the majority of the fine flowing ringlets, or
bald beads of after years, are traceable to this early period.
OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, long celebrated for
its genial and invigorating qualities, in promoting and restoring
the growth of the hair, is pecitlifirlyfitted (applied according to
the printed directions) for application during the tender years ofinfancy and Childhood/rand no nursery where personal ad-
vantages are held in Irby estimation, should be without it.
