THE HUMAN HAIR. - Where the nair is
observed TO be growing thin, nothing can be
pfeposterous 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 or contracted SKIN, and where the small blood
vessels which carry nourishment 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 torpcr and quicken the cur
rent of the blood.-Erarad from Clrehugh's
Treaties on tie 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 iuxuriant growth of hair.
2d--For ladies after childbirth, restoring the
skin to its natural strength and frmness, 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 grow til 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 vigour to the
circulation, and prevents the hair from changing
colour or getting gray.
6th--It causes the hair to curl beautifully when
done up in it over night.
nf No ladies' toilet should ever be made with
out it.
7th--Children who have by any means contrac-
ted vcrmin in the head, are Immediately and per-
fectly cured ofthem by its use 1t is infallible.
A CASE IN POINT.-Ih had unfortunately lost
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 in the matter, as any OF my
friends can see by calling on me. | had also be-
cone quite gray, but had the gray hairs pucked
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

| A Young gentleman of 3SS South Market street

all of which he lost by its falling out. He ha,
used bottles of Balm of Columbia from Comstocl
& Co., and now has a full flowing crop of yer,
long fine hair, which curls most beautifully Hi

Iofthat city, is referred to for the fact.
Mr.. Lewis Millard, of Buttcmus, Otsego coun

bottles of the Balm. In fact the cures are so mum
crous that ii quite out of the question to refer
