rnerally lad es mustachcs are straignt


that is, they grow in straight,
cleanly marked line across the lip, and
the ends are sharply defnedP 1t is the
truth, and another point is that there
are rarely more than fifty vigorous
hairs in female mustache, SO that few
of them can not be removed in five or
six sittings. | had case the other day
of allaying the inflammation occas oned
by some charlatan endeavoring to up
root whole mustache of thrty-fve
hars at single sitting. He did it. but
the punishment gave the young lady
wounded upper lip, which will be rough
and more or less SCARED for the next
six months. stg.safsf Ff..s..
However, most ladies are afraid of
the electrical treatment, preferring The
depilatories, which, while not always
permanent in their effects, will remove
an entire mustace at one appl cation
without pain, and when continued will
generally kill the papille in time. Let
me show you how they do their perfect
work on the back of your hand"
With small camels hair brush the
doctor applied watery liquid to a spot
as large as silver half-dollar on the
hairy back of the VISITORS hand. 1t
grew warm, almost hot, for moment,
and the hair began to shrivel up and
gradually disappear. In few minutes
the spot was dry, all the hair had disap-
peared and the place was as smooth as
the center of ones palm.
"Science is great thing, young man.
That acid is composed of number of
caustics, and in sufficient quantity will
cat hole through ones hand; but
when applied according to directions it
merely dissolves the hair, as you have
seen. In fact, in the present stage of
the worlds progress it is not necessary
for the fair sex to suffer with any blem-
ishes. Wrinkles disappear, freckles
fade, pock-marks fill up, birth-marks
are blanched, and even red noses made
white by the acton of acids skillfully
applied"
''Has science turned its attention to
the alcoholic nosep"
Yes, sir; but you must not connect
all red noses with the abuse of stimuli
lants. The corset lace is quite as effec-
tive an agent in inducing abnormal
rubicundity of the nasal organ"-the
doctor paused here while the visitor
made note of the phrase on his shirt
cuff. "The corset lace, say, is quite
as effective an agent in producing red
noses as the whisky bottle. In most
cases red nose is the work of years,
and it is generally accompanied by II
thickening of the skin, which some.
times rounds out in spots, producing
the bulbous blossom. In all cases the
blood-vessels upon the surface are stim-
ulated and enlarged, and it is to the re-
duction of these vessels, both in size
and number, that our treatment is
directed. The acid checks the flow of
the blood which gives the color by
shrinking the veins.
''Now about freckles, warts and
moles. They are all removed by pretty
much the same treatment; and while
the instruments look simple enough,
being nothing but bottle of water
looking acid and camel s-hair brush,
in unskillful hands they are like money
in spendthrift's pocket-bound to
|
which will eat away n wart or bleach
out the coloring matter which is inn
bedded between the outer skin and the
cuts vera, or true skin, beneath, in a
mole or freckle, must be powerful; but
like strong horse, when rightly di-
rected, it is only powerful for good.
The idea of removing freckles or tan
with baths of buttermilk or other mild
agents is only less ridiculous than the
charming away of warts with bits OF
knotted string. And yet there are 9th
erwise sensible people who believe in
both these remedies.
warts are merely enlargements Of
of the tissue, each containing single
blood-vessel, which feeds t, while mole:
r are sometimes enlargements, in fact
small tumors, and sometimes merely
l discolorations. Freckles and moth
!, patches belong to the same family as
a the moles, and when the latter are no
D accompanied by the tumor phase all are
a treated ahke-that is, by the applica
Y ton of an acid which opens the
pores and causes the color
ing matter to exude and dry up
