R'HF HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nar 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 skim When there is harsh,
dry, or contracted skin and where the small blood
vessels which carry nourishment to the bulb are
INSTRUCTED, 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.-Erfruet fran Chrehugh's
