Oldridge Balm Of Columbia.

1'HE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair is
u 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
obstructed, then the oils, &c, may be good, as
they tend to relax the skim 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 bood.-Erf,uct from, CEJehugh's
Ufaties on the koir.
The Balm Of 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 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 debil-
| lily the same effect is produced.
4th-If used in infancy till good growth is
started, it may he preserved by attention to the
latest period of life.
5th-It frees the head from dandrufI, strength
ems the roots imparts health and vigour to the
circulation, and prevents the hair from changing
colour getting gray.
6th--It causes the hair to curl beautifully when
done up in it over night.
ar No ladies' toilet should ever be made with
out it.
uh--Childrcn who have by any means contrac-
ted vcrmn in the head, are Immediately and per-
icctly cured ofthcm by its use. 1t is intalibe.

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
Il Co., and now has full flowing crop of very
long, fine hair, which turls most beautifully! His
father who is one Of the most respectable citizens
of that city, is referred TO for the fact.

bottles OF the Balm. In fact the cures are so num-
