OlLhAllNG ON TUE umphs in dermat ology
FACE. is John II. Wood bury,
whose magnificently furnished parlors ut
No 125 West Forty second street, New
York City, are daily filed with people
who apply TO him for relief from birth
marks, moles, supertluous hair on the
face and kindred Disbursements. Prof.
Woodbury. is really the dermatologist Of
to-day. He is the inventor of Dermaform,
which is sold to physicians only. He is also
the inventor of Wcodburys Facial Soap for
the skin, scalp and complexion, which is
for sale by all druggists; also the inventor
OF several facial appliances, which are
patented at Washington. There arc emil
nent medical practitioners in New York
who stand in the front rank as specialists
in rheumatism. consumption, etc, but
there Is none holding higher place among
those treating skin diseases than Prof
Woodbury.. Many methods OF removing
fac1GI dishgurementS were tried before
Prof. Woodbury. solved the riddle This
physician treated the blood, this one used
his scalLel, and another useless powder.
Prof. Woodbury. revolutioniZed the
science. He advanced the extremely radi-
cal opinion that brthmarl<s or moles should
b. II Gated by penetration; that they could
be reduced to such state that they would
take on scab, and that when the scab fell
the birthmark, or whatever the disigure-
inent might be, would necessarily disap-
pear. This was u sweeping declaration,
and old forms and practices were shattered
by it, Yet 1t was true solution Of the
riddle He uses no scalpel, nothing moro
than harmless lotion, which changes the
birthmarl into au ordinary scab. Many Of
the most eminent society people of the
metrol oils, who had been for years de-
barred from public life through disfigure-
ment of the face, testify every day to the
success of the Professors methods There
is no physician in this country who has nou
other IN n a
facial blemish, but where is there one who
can show such record of unin terrup: ed
success in so doing as Prof. Wood bury +?
He does not keep "a record of all the
epistes he receives testamentary of his
skill as dermatoIogist There is one
letter. however, from u prominent New
Jersey banker, which is worthy Of
especial consideration, since it shows the
deep interest Of the writer in the physician
who cured him. TIE banker, after re-
citing. like hundreds of other CORES pond-
ents. how he had been cured of several
very ugly marks on his face, suggested
that the Professor write book on Dermat-
oIogy. lie says he could not do better
thing fer humanity. His volume would
arouse public interest in the great science,
and those who have for years believed that
they hlust live all their life with a crimson
birthmark ON their face would take cour-
age and no doubt eventually be relieved of
their blemiSheS. The banker is not, how
ever, aware that Prof. Woodbury. has al
ready written Il very instructive treatise Of
Jas pages on the subject. and which any
one may obtain by remitting 10 cents to his
address. Prof. WCodbury's fame has now
become so well established that he is busy
with his patients day in and day out and
can give no further time to literary work
He is the President of the Dermatologicai
Institute, No 12j West Forty second street,
New York City, which is the largest estao-
lishment of the Kind in the worll.
