H'IIE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair is
- observed to be growing thin, nothing can be
more preposerous than the use of oils, grease, or
any fatty matter. Their application can only be
recommended through the grosscst 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 10 the bulb are
| obstructod, then the oils, &C., may be good, as
they tend 10 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
rert of the blood.-Ertract from CErehugh's
Treaties on tie h0r.
