BALM OF COL MBIA.

AA Ava
An Important Recent Chemical Discovery.
II HUMAN HAIR.
VTTHERE the hair is observed to be growing thin,
w nothing car be more preposterous than the use
of oils grease, or any fatty matter. Their application can
only be recommended through the grosest ignorance. as
they hasten the fall of the hair, by increasing the re-
taxation of the skin. When there is a harrh. dry, or
contracted skin, and where the small blood vessels
which carry nourishment to The bulb are obstIucted,
then the oils, &c, may be gooo, as they tend TO relax
be a stimulus, to rouse the vessels from their torpor,
and quicken the current of the blood,-Extrdef from
Clirehvghs Treatise on the 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-Fnr infants, keeping the head free from scurf,
and causing a luxurient growth of hair

4,h-Ifused in infancy till a good growth is started.
il may be preserved by attention to the latest period
of life.
5th-It frees the heard from dandruff. strengthens
the roots. imps5ts health and vigour to The circulation

gray.
6th--Tt causes the hair to curl beautifully when done
