THE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the hair is
l. observed to be growing thin, nothing can be
more prcposterous 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 harsh,
dry, contracted skin, and where the small blood
vessels which carry nourshment 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
rent of the blood.-Ertract from Ckrehugh'S
Treaties on the hair.
| 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 firmness, and
preventing the falling out of the hair.
3d-For any person recovering from any debil-
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 dandruif, strength
ems the roots, imparts health and yigour to the
circulation and prevents the hair from changing
colour or getting gray.
| 6th-lt causes the hair to curl beautifully when
done up in it over night.
al No ladies' toilet should ever be made with
out it.

ted vermin in the head, are Immediately and per-
fecty cured of them by its use. 1t is iniallible
