OIdridge'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 grossest ignorance, as
they hasten the fall of the hair by increasng 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
obsIrncted, then the oils, &C., may be good, as
they tend to relax the skim but alone, they are
Of no avail. There must be a stimulus to rouse
the vessels from thei, topper, aud quicken the cur
rent OF the blood.-Ertract f'om Citehugt's

A young gentleman OF sss South Market street,
Albany, had very coarse, stiff, and straight hair,
u of which he lost by its falling out. He has
used bottles OF Balm of Columbia from Comstock
& 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
ofthat city, is referred to for the fact.
Mr.. Lewis Willard of Buttcmuts, Otscgo coun-
ty had lost his hair, and had 1t fully restored BY
bottles of the Balm. In fact the cures are so num-
erous that il is quite out Of the question to refer to
one in hundred Of those who have experienced
the like effects.

purchased or used unless II have the name Of L. S.
Comstock on a splendid wrapper. This is the
