ltoui TIC boStoH jan, III.
VIZ see by an advertisement in another
w column that Messrs. Comstock & Co.,
the American agents for Oidridge's Balm of
Columbia, have deputies to sell that article
in Boston and elsewhere. We know a lady
in the in this city whose hair was so nearly
gone as to sxpose entirely her chronological
develoyemenis, which, considering that they
betokened most amiable disposition, was
not, in reality. very unfortunate. Neverthe-
less she mourned the loss of locks that she
had worn. and, after a years frui;less resort
to miscalled rosioraives, purchased, some
months ago bottle Of or two, of OIdridge's
Balm, and she has now rns lets in rich profu-
sion, glossy, and OF raven blackness. We are
not puffing-none OF the commodity has been
sent US, and, indeed. and We do not waut any
for we have now, through its virture, hair G.
enough, and OF "a passiole quality, of our own.
DARING FRAUD.
The Balm of Columbia has been inflated by
a notorious counterIeter. Let it never be
purchased or used unless it have the name of
L. S. Comstock ,or the signature of Comstock
& Co. on a splendid wrapper. This is the on.
ly external test that will secure the public from
deception.
