How Science Has Come to the Relief OF
Such Afflicted Ones.
As reporter sat in cable car the other
day he noticed a pretty woman enter Pretty,
| stylish and trim from head to foot-only one
blemish, and that decided, an humiliating
one She had pronounced mustache that a
youth of 20 would have envied her. Every
where that one goes, in shops. churches,
theatres, this Disagreement is noticed Is
there no remedyf Sensitive women will re-
sort to any and every method to rid them
selves of superfuous 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 a 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 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
hairdresser had persuaded her to buy. This
practice she kept up daily, until her face was
in frightful condition. However, a remedy
has been found III electricity.

The reporter then asked permission to be
allowed to watch an operation, which was
granted The patient sits in a reclining
char and holds bowl of water on her lap,
IN which is immersed one of the cords from
