I 'HIa HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair is
l. 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 grossest ignorance, as
they hasten the fall of the hair. by increasing the
| relaxation of the skin. When there is harsh,
dry, or contracted skin, and where the small blood
vessels which carry nourishmcnt to the bulb are
obstructcd, then the oils &C., may be good, as
they tend to relax the skin; but alone, they are
of no avail. There must be stimulus to rouse
the vessels from their TOPPER and quicken the cur
rent of the blood.-Ertrae from Ck,ehugHs
