WHY DOES HAIR
FALL OFF ?

From many causes. Sometimes

from local disturbing agencies, such as sickness; sometimes from neglect in cleansing; but more frequently from decay in the saps and tissues which supply each

individual hair. In such case,

OLDRIDGE'S

BALM OF COLUMBIA

Is an excellent corrective of the many insidious sources of decay which ruin nature's chief ornament.

It stimulates, strengthens, and increases the growth of Hair; softens and nourishes it when grown; and arrests its decline. Besides this, it acts on those pigments the constant supply of which is essential to the Hair retaining its colour.

The Hair of the Head and the Whiskers and

Moustachios

Are alike benefited. For children it is invaluable, as it forms the basis of a magnificent Head of Hair, prevents Baldness in mature age, and obviates the use of dyes and poisonous restoratives.
