OIdridgc's Balm of Columbia.


,I'HE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair is
l. observed TO be growing thin, nothing can be
more prepostcrous than the use OF oils, grease or
any fatty matter. Their application 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 rouslment to the bulb are
ofstructcd, 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.--Ertraa from Chretugh's
Treaties on the hair.
The Balm Of CoAtmJia is the only preparation
that can have that effect being entirely free from
any oily substance. Its positive qualities arc as
follows:
lst-For infants, keeping the head free from
| scurf and causing luxuriant growth of hair.
2d--For ladies after childbirth, restoring the
skin to its natural strength and iirmness and
| preventing the falling out of the hair.
| 3d--For any person recovering from any deb-
| ity the same effect is produced.
4th-If used in infancy till good growth is
started it may be preserved by attention to the
latest period of life.
5th--lt frees the head from dandruil, strength
|
circulation and prevents the hair from changing
colour getting gray.
Gth-It causes the hair TO curl beautifully when
done up in it over night.
nj. No ladies' toilet should ever be made with
out it.
7th--Children who have by any means contrac-
ted vcrmin in the head, are Immediately and per-
ieclly cured ofthem by its use. 1t is inlallible.

A Young gentleman of 3sS South Market street
Albany had very coarse. stiff, and straight hair
all OF which he los, by its falling cut. He has
used bottles of Balm of Columbia from Comstocl
q Co., and now has full flowing crop ofycry
long. fine hair which curls most beautifully! lin
father, who is one of the most respectable citizens
ofthat city, is referred to for the fact.
Mr.. Lewis Willard, of Butternuts. Otscgo conn
ty, had lost his hair, and had it fully restored by
bottles of the Balm. In fnct the cures are so mum
crous that it is quite out of the question to refer tt
one in hundred OF those who have experienced
the like effects.
l BEWARE I! - Some counterfciters have at
tempted to initiate this article. Let it never he
purchased or used unless il have the name Of l..
C0msfock on splendid wrapper. This is tho
only external test that will secure the public from
deception.
