Bow Science Has Come to the Relief Of
Such Afflicted Ones.
As a reporter sat in a cable car the other
day he noticed pretty woman enter Pretty,
stylish ard trim from head to foot-only one
blemish, and that decided, an humiliating
one, She had a pronounced mustache that
youth of 20 would have envied her. Every
where that one goes, in shops, churches,
theatres, this Disagreement is noticed Is
there no remedy! Sensitive women will re-
sort to any and every method to rid them
selves OF superfluous hair Scissors, tweez-
ers, yes, even razors are used, only to find
that the blemish will return as fast as it is
removed, and with additional strength
There are many fortunate cases. A young
woman had a few struggling hairs on her
face. She noticed them much more than
anyone else, and grew actually morbid on
the subject. One day while having her hair
shampooed her hairdresser noticed them
and told her he could remove them. He
produced small stone, and by her permits
sion proceeded to rub them off, leaving her
face smooth and blushing from the friction.
He assured her that if they returned they
would be much finer, scarcely to be OBJ
served Instead, in a few DAYS they ap-
peared, and to her horror she found they
were very much worse than before. In her
despair she again used the stone which her
hsirdresser had persuaded her 20 buy. This
practice she kept up daily, until her face was
in frightful condition. However. remedy
has been found in electricity
sit is the only way on earth to effectually
kill this parasite, y said a well known physi-
clan to the reporter. ANY physician of
repute will assure you OF that fact SINCE
ing, cutting, pulling out by tweezers OF de-
pilatories only make them eoarser rougher
and more bristling. The follicle must be
killed, then the hair falls out of itselfn

Sometimes few Of the hairs come back,
but they are always black and extremely

chair and holds bowl of water on her lap
IN which is immersed one of the cords from
the battery. To the other is attached ths
finest possible needle, The operator gather,

the operation, but camphor freely apple,
