every method to rid tn, mselves Of super
fluous hair. Scissor tweezers, yes, even
razors are used, only to find that the
blemish will return as fast as it is re-
moved, and with additional strength.

small stone and by her PERMISSION pro-
ceeded to rub them of, leaving her face
smooth and blushing from the friction.
He assured her that if they returned
they would be much finer, scarcely to be
observed. Instead, in a few days they
appeared, 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 a frightful con-
dition. However, at last she found a
remedy at the hands of certain we'll

to permanentlt remove this blemish by
electricity.

to the Herald reporter. "Any physician
of repute will assure you Of that fact.
Singeing, cutting pulling out by tweez-
