u BEAUTY DOCTOR.
How q Now York Woman Treats Her Pa.
tients for Ugliness.

How q Now York Woman Treats Her Pa
tients for Uglness.
There is woman in New York who has q
growing clientele of patients coming to her
to ne treated for ugliness, says the New
York World. They may be in perfect health
physically, but not quite at peace in their
minds because OF defects which render
them unpleasipg in the eyes Of their fellow
mortals, and she ministers to this mind
diseased by curing, as far as possible, the
complaint :of plainness. Women go to her
to be made thinner or stouter, to have their
color heightened Or reduced, to be treated
for ugly compilations, red eyes, thin hair,
round shoulders, and all the physical faults
which make the difference between beauty
and the lack of it. To women who are too
stout she recommends bath OF salt water
in the morning, two or three handfuls OF
rock salt being put in the bath over night
and allowed to dissolve. They must be
rubbed down with q heavy Turkish towel
after this salt bath, and are to sleep on
hard beds, while the only Internal treat
ment she prescribes is Congress water and
a grain or two of roasted coffee, to be
chewed half an hour before meals, which
will greatly lessen the appetite for food.
She suggests a diet Of crosses, lettuce and
spinach, with desserts of Iceland moss jel-
Lies.
Thin women she feeds on carrots and
parsnips and doses them with 81 few drops
of acid phoshaJe before meals to give them
an appetite for the mullins, brown bread.
oatmeal, and fruit that are to form the
greater part Of their diet. But what she prin-
cipally relies upon to add flesh to thin girls
is pint of sweet milk to be drank every
night just before getting into bed. She
orders off the corsets Of round shouldered
girls and puts them into braces instead,
with daily exercises on pulling machine
to help on the good work, while awkward
and heavy girls are given a bar over which
they are to jump many times every day.
When 81 woman has become too ford she is
and the pale woman has her baths cold and
a bottle Of clsret each day. This "beauty
doctor,n as she is called, has effected some
wonderful cures of plainness, and in sever
al cases has taken entire charge Of a woman
for six months With the result that at the
end of that time her friends scarcely knew
her. There is talk Of an inhrmary or pri-
vate hospital being established near New
York, of which the beauty doctor is to have
charge, and where women will go, as they
do now to the rest cures, to undergo
thorough treatment for ugliness. This
female beauty cultivator is stern and dc
tatorial, and will Immediately give up a
case if her directions are not followed to
the letter. She has great hopes of her
hospital, where her patients will be direct
~ under her eye and she can see that her
ideas are carried out. She holds that there
is no excuse for thorough ugliness, and
that it can oe to great extent made a mat
ter of will with woman whether she will
be pretty and pleasing or not.

The truth is that what we have come to
consider the especial er; Of old men was
really the most remarkable period in our
history for young men. They enjoyed a
chance a century ago such as young men
have never had since the civil war broke
down temporarily some of the barriers
against youth in public life, but the con-
trolling forces were welded by men whose
average age was number Of years greater
than that Of their grandfathers, who held
sway during the Revolutionary period.
The youngest man in the United States
Senate to-day-Kenna, of West Virginia
was 81 years old when he took his seat, and
nobody SO young had been in tho body for q
long period before his appearance Ho is
now 40 and nobody else in the body of 76
members is so young, although. as we have
seen, one-third of the Constitutional con-
vention were under 49, More than half of
the body, it has been shown, were less than
As years old; only twcnty-onc Of the
present seventy-six Senator'S or but 81 trite
over a quarter, were less than As wears
old when they entered the chamber. Tho
average age of the Senate to-day is IS
years, against an average OF only As years
for the convention of 1887.
"Slow-going," we are wont to call the
ways Of the eighteenth century; ga fast
age'' is the common description OF our own
period. Both expressions are misleading.
Our conservative ancestors rushed their
boys through college during their teens;
two members of the Constitutional conyen-
ton had graduated at Is, ono Mt II and
three at 1e. New York College will not I'D.
