that is, they grow in a straight, clcanlv marked line across the lip, and the ends are sharply defined? It is the truth, and another point is that there ! are rarely more than fifty vigorous l hairs in a female mustache, so that few of them can not be removed in five or six sittings. 1 had case the other day of allaying the inflammation occas onejk by some charlatan endeavoring to up- root a whole mustache of thirtv-five hairs at a 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.
 However, most ladies are afraid of the electrical treatment, prefcrring the 1 depilatories, which, while not always permanent in their effects, will remove an entire mustace at one application without pain, and when continued will generally kill the papilla in time. Let me show you how they do their perfect work on the back of your hand"
 With a small camel's hair brush the doctor applied watery liquid to spot as large as a silver half-dollar on the ldll DdCA Ol lllC NsotlOl IL grew warm, almost hot, for a 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 one's palm.
 Science is a great thing, young man. l That acid is composed of a number of caustics, and in sufficient quantity will eat 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 nose?"
 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. 1.-The corset lace, l say, is quite as effective an agent in producing red noses as the whisky bottle. In most cases a red nose is the work of years, and it is generally accompanied by q 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 winch 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 a spendthrift's pocket-bound to burn. In the nature of things an acid which will eat away wart or bleach out the coloring matter which IS i'm 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 oth- erwise sensible people who believe in both these remedies.
 "Warts are merely enlargements of of the tissue, each containing single blood-vessel, which feeds it, while moles are sometimes enlargements, in fact, small tumors, and sometimes merely discolorations. Freckles and moth patches belong to the same family as the moles, and when the latter are not accompanied by the tumor phase allare treated alIke-that is, by the applica- ton of an acid which opens the pores and causes the color ing matter to exude and dry up. Wrinkles, pock-marks and scars are all cured by the application of an oil which, with gentle rubbing by the hands, breaks up the hard tissue forming them, starts the circulation of blood through the parts, and thus builds up a healthy growth of muscle which fills up the de- pressions.
 "All these things are as simple as A, B and c, and when we learn how to do it it is just as easy to remove a blemsh from the skin of a lady's face as it would be to remove the same stain or blemish from piece of cloth or paper. Take birth-mark, for instance. There are hundreds of persons moving about the city, disfigured with purple or scarlet blotches on their faces, who imagine it is necessary that their lives should be made miserable by these blemishes, when little thought ought to teach them that bleaching is simple process, whether applied to broom-straw or the
