LOSS OF HAIR.
A REMARKABLE CASE.

EAST MrDpLEBoRo', MASS, June 0, 1864.
MEssRs. BURSETT G. Co.:
When my daughters hair came or she had been
afflicted with neuralgia in her head for three years.
She had used, during that time, many powerful ap-
plications. These, with the intense heat caused by
the palms, burned her hair so badly that in October,
1861 it all came Off and for two years after her head
smooth as her face.
Through the recommendation Of friend, she was
induced to try your COCAINE, and the result was
astounding She had not used half the contents Of
bottle before her head was covered with fine young
hair. In four months the hair has grown several
inches in length very tnick, soft and fine, and of
darker color than formerly.
With respect, WM. S. EDDY.
