l'HF HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair is
- observed to be growing thin, nothing can be
| more prcposterous than the use Of oils grease or
any fatty matter. Their application can only NJ
| 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 nourishmcnt to the bulb are
obstructcd, 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 blood.-EGa,0d from Ckychugh's
