'H'llE HUMAN HAIR - Where the nnr is
= observed to be growing thin, nothing can be
more preposterous than the use of oils, grease, or
| any fatty matter. Their application can only be
| recommended through the grosse,t ignorance, as
they hasten the fall Of the hair, by increasing the
relaxation OF the sain. When there is HARSH
dry, or contracted skim and where the small b,ocd
vessels which carry nourishmcnt to the bulb are
DISTRACTED, then the oils, &C., may be good, as
they tend to relax the skin; but alone, they are
Of no avail. There must be a stimulus, to rouse
the vessels from their topper, and quicken the cur
