Badness.

A BEAUTIFUL head of hair is the grand
IN estornament belonging to the human
frame. How strangely the loss of it chan
ges the countenance, and prematurely brings
on the appearance of old age, which causes
many to Iecoil at being uncovered, and
sometimes even shun society to avoid the
jests and sneers of their acquaintance :
The remainder of their lives is consequent
ly spent in retirement. In short, not even
the loss of property fills the generous
thinking youth with that heavy sinking
gloom as does the loss of his HAIR. TO
avert all these unpleasant circumstances,
OLDRIGE'SB BALM OF COLUMBIA stops
the hair from falling off on the first applica-
tion, and few bottles restores it again.
1t likewise produces eyebrows and whsk-
ers prevents the hair from turning gray,
makes it curl beautifully, and frees it from
scurf. Numerous certificates Of the first
responsibility IN support of the virtues of
Oldrige's Balm are shown by thepropretor.
0LJ7 Read the following:
ROBERT WHARTON, Esq, late May
or of Philadelphia, has certified, as may be
seen below, to the high character of the
following gentlemen
The undersigned does hereby certify
that we have used the Balm of Columbia
discovered by J. Oldridge, and have found
it highly serviceable, not only as prevent
