Oldridge's Balm of Columbia.

'E'HE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair is
l. 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 grosscst 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
obstructed, then the oils, &c. may be good, az
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 GhrehughS
| Treaties on the hdir.
The BQha If 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
scuri, and causing a luXuriant growth OF hair.
! 2d-For ladies after childbirth, restoring the
skin to its natural strength and Grmness, and
! preventing the falling out of the hair.
;d-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 danduil, strength
ems the roots, inpars health and vigour to the
circulation, and prevents the hair from changing
colour or getting gray.
Gth--It causes the hair to curl beautifully when
done up in it over night.
| a. No ladies' toilet should ever be made with
out it.
| 7th---Childrcn who have by any means contrac-
ted vermn in the head, are Immediately and per-
fecty cured ofthcm by its use. 1t is inlallible.
4 CASE IN POiNT.--I had unfortunately lost
n nearly all the hair from the top of my head,
when commenced the use of the Balm of Column
bia, and have, by the use of two bottles, had my
head covered with fine growth ofhair. There
can be no mistake i'll the matter, as any of my
friends can see by calling on me. had also be-
come quite gray, but had the gray hairs pluckod
out, and il has grown in, as the Balm says, of the
natural colour. If any body doubts these facts,
let them call upon me and see. ! bought the Balm

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 Comstocl
& CO., and now has full flowing crop of very
long, fine hair, which curls most beautifully! His
father who is one Of the most respectable citizens
of that city, is referred to for the fact.
Mr. Lewis Milard of Butternuts, Otsego coun.
ty, had lost his hair. and had it fully restored by
bottles of the Balm. In fact the cures arc SO mum
erous that il is quite out of the question to refer tc
one in hundred of those who have experienced
the like effects.

tempted to initiate this article. Let it never bt
purchased or used unless it have the name of L. S
Conastock on splendid wrapper. This is tn,
