Oldridge's Balm Of Columbia.

THE HUMAN HAIR - Where the nair Is
- observed to be growing thin, nothing can be
more prepcsterous 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
obstructed, 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 blood.-Ertract from Cl,aehughs
Treaties on tie hair.
The Balm of ColanaJia is the only preparation
that can have that effect being entilely free from
any oily substance. Its positive qualities are 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 firmncss, and
preventing the falling out OF the hair.
3d-For any person recovering from any dcbi!-
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--It frees the head from dandruf, strength
ems the roots, imparts health and vigour to the
colour or getting gray.
6th--It causes the hair to curl beautifully when
done up in it over night,
~ No ladies' toilet should ever be made with
out it.
Th-Children who have by any means contrac-
ted vermin in the head, are Immediately and pey.
fectly cured of them by its use. 1t is nfallible.
A CASE IN POINT.--Ihad unfortunately lost
4 nearly all the hair from the top of my head,
when commenced the use of the Balm of Colunl-
bia, and have, by the use of two bottles, had my
head covered with fine growth ofhair. There
can be no mistake in the matter, as any of my
friends can see by calling on me. had also be.

A young gentleman Of 3SS South Market street,
Albany, had very coarse stiff, and straight hair,
all of which he lost by its falling out, He has
used bottles of Balm of Columbia from Comstock
& Co., and now has a full flowing crop Of very
long, fine hair which curls most beautifully! His
father, who is one of the most respectable citizens
Of that city, is referred to for the fact
Mr.. Lewis Millard, of Butternuts, Otsego coun-
ty, had lost his hair and had it fully restored by
bottles of the Balm. In fact the cures are so mum.
erous that it quite out of the question to refer to
one in hundred Of those who have experienced
the like effects.
