OsdrilIgc's Balm Of Columbia.

THE 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 gTosscsl 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 nourishment 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 I've stimulus, to rouse
the vessels from their topper and quicken the cur
