licving stings, cuts, bruises, sprains. &c. with
this preparation 'thcrc is no such word AS fnl.'
The first journals in Amcrica, medical men

all professions, and ladies who have used ii for
wears in their dressing rooms and nurseries,
Admit with one accord, that for imparting

Graduating scurf and dandruG, healing
wounds, curing commissions, sprans, stings,
&C., and relieving diseases of the skin, the
glands and the muscles, il has no equal among
the multitude ofcomponnds advertised in the
public prints, or used in private practice. In
chcapncss as well as efficacy, Barry's Trico-
phcrous is unrivallcd. The immense cash
sales OF the article have enabled the inventor
TO supply il mt retail, at % cents per bottle
which is from so to 100 per cent. less than the
price of any other preparation for the hair

The affinity between the membranes which
constitute the skin, and the hair which draws

close. All diseases of the hair originate in
the skin Of the head. If the pores Of the
scalp are cloggrd, or if the blood and other
fluids do not circulate freely through the small
vessels which feed the root with moisture, and
impart life to the fbres, the result is scnrf,

In all affections of the skin, and Of the snh-

and the effect are the same. 1t ia upon the

the Tricophrrous has its specific action, and
