about it, snd it looks quite simple,
does it not? But let anybody try it, and
see if they can do what / do,
Another practitioner was found in
less pretentious quarters on sixth ave
nue., where the crash, chatter, rumble
and thunder of the elevated railways
made conversation exceedingly difficult.
Her professed range of practice is much
wider than the mere removal of super
huous hair, covering, as her advertise
ment assures the public, all the delicate
ground of freckles, pimples, blotches,
bald heads, gray hair, etc. and it also ap-
pears to include the running of a laun-
dry "All classes of women come to me
for treatment in the course of a year"
she said, "but it is more for grayness and
badness that am called on, though, of
course, do take out superfiuous hair
with acid, of course-when people want
me to; and when take it out once it
seldom comes back. But bald and gray
heads I do my best work on. Where
hair has got gray by age neither nor
anybody else can do anything for it, ex-
cept, perhaps, with dye; but there are
an astonishing number of prematurely
gray people in the community On
them use a lotion compounded from
genester root, mullen leaves, and other
articles, and it never fails to bring back
the natural color. For badness use
carbonate of iron, considerable of an
herb found near the surf back of Coney
island, castor oil, and some other things,
It is real good, and I've known it to
bring out a crop of hair on head that
had no more fuzz on it than a pumpkin
or the palm of your hand. But, of
course, there are some heads where the
roots of the hair have been killed by
disease, with which nothing can be done
any more than with brass kettle. For
freckles l use muriatic acid, glycerine
ETC., so prepared as not to injure the
| skin. Pimples are killed with lotion
that contains great deal of iodine
Where moth patches come from a dis
ordered liver, nothing to put on them
will do them any good, and always
send person afflicted that way, who
comes to me, to regular physician, to
give them something to take inside ]
never give medicine internally. Can.
tharides is used great deal in all cos
metics. 1t peels off the outer skin and
leaves it smooth but you mustn't put il
on too strong or it'll raise blister
Use it right, and there's nothing better
for the skin. / use it mostly with lit
tie bismuth and rose water. About the
removal of superf1uous hair, there i.
something in Europe I haven't got. You
have. to send to Europe for it, anC
pay e3, and you get some sort of stont
that you put acid on, and rub the hal
that you want to take off, and it takes i
!. off, and it takes it off clean. And some
times it doesn't come back. KNEW ont
young lady in Albany who used to shaw
frequently, and she wrote to Europe ant
got that stone and a recipe for the kin(
of acid she'd have to use on it. 1t ha
pretty much cured her, i understand
And l know a physicians wife win
shaved regularly for sixteen years, ant
she was relieved the same way. But
believe the stone is just common pumic
istone, and the stuff they put on it is mu
ratio acid and glycerine. Actresses FIRE
quentty come to me for treatment. On
of them who came to me with he1 ski
in a frightful plight, 1 have now GO
into excellent condition. Her skin wa
rough and the pores were enormousl
large, made so by her having to use pOii
onous cosmetics. Sometimes she woul
have to whiten up and rou &c to get tn
footlight glare right on her, and othe
times she'd black up completely to pla
Topsey, in Uncle Toms cabin one {
her favorite parts, and she had played
a great deal.
: Eyes, I've seen a good deal of the ba
effects of arsnic on the skin. / know {
two actresses who have been addicted t
, it for some time. OF course, it make
! them fair and plump for time, but tn:
is all disease, and some day they wi
have frightful skins. But they can
!, leave. it off. One of those ladies told N
she would rather do without her suppG
than her arsenic. Some day she will |
sure to wish she had preference I'll
other waV | Use no arsenic or an
preparation of it, in any way.
