I'IiE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair 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 grosscs ignorance, as
they hasten the fall of the hair, by increasing the
relaxation OF the skin. When there is harsh
dry, or contracted skin, and where the small blood
vessels which carry nourshmcnt to the bulb are
| obstructcd, then the oils, &c, may be good, as
they tend to relax the skin; but alone, they are
of no avail. There must be stimulus TO rouse
the vessels from their topper, and quicken the
rent of the blood.-EIiract fiOm ChrehHga'S
