Oldridgc's Balm Of Columbia.

THE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the hair 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 grossest ignorance, as
they hasten the fall of the hair, by increasing the
relaxation of the skin. When there is a HARSH
dry or contracted skin, and where the small blood
vessels which carry nourishment 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
rent of the bood.-EItrGo from Chrrhugh's
| Treaties on the hair.
The Balm IF Columbia is the only preparation
that can have that effect, being entirely free from
any oily substance. Its positive qualities are as
follows:
lst-For infants, keeping the head free from
scurf, and causing a luxuriant growth of hair.
| 2d-For ladies after childbirth, restoring the
skin to its natural strength and iirmncss, and
preventing the falling out of the hair.
! 3d-For any person recovering from any dcbil-
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 dandr,lff, strength
ems the ROOTS imparts health and sigour to the
