FACE is John H.. Woodbury..
whose magnifcently furnished parlors at
No 125 West Forty second street, Rev
York City, are daily filled with people
who apply TO him for relief from birth
marks, moles, superhuous hair on the
face and kindred disagurements. Prof
Woodbury. is really the dermatologist OF
to-day. He Is the Inventor OF Dermafor m,
which Is sold to physicians only. He Is also
the inventor of Woodbury's Facial Soap for
the skin. scalp, and complexion. which Is
for sale by all druggists; also the inventor
patented n Washington. There are emil
hent medical practitioners In New York
who stand In the front rank as specialists
In rheumatism. consumption, etc., but
there Is none holding a higher place among
those treating skin diseases than Prof
Woodbury.. Many methods of renewing
facial dishgurements were tried before
Prot Woodbury. solved the riddle. This
physician treated the blood. this one used
his scalpel. and another a useless powder.
Prof Woodbury. revolutionized the
science. He advanced the extremely radi-
cal opinion that birthmarks or moles should
be treated by penetration; thatthey could
be feapced to such state that they would
take on a scab, and that when the scab fell
the birthmark, or whatever the disigure-
Inent might be, would necessarily dtsap-
peaf. This was sweeping declaration.
and old forms and practices were shattered
by It. Yet IL was true solution of the
riddle He uses no scalpel, nothing more
than harmless lotion, which CHANGES the
birthmark into an ordinary scah Many OF
tho most eminent society people of the
metropolis, who had been for years de-
barred from public life through disHgure-
inent of the face, testify every day to the
success of the Professors methods. There
is no physician in this country who has no I
some time or other attempted to remove a
facial blemfsh. but whore is there one who
can show such a record OF uninterrupte cd
success In so doing as Prof. Wood buryi
He does not keep a record OF all the
epistles he receives testamentary of his
skill as dermatolOgist. There is one
letter, however, from a prominent New
Jersey banker, which Is worthy OF
especial consideration, since IL shows the
deep interest of the writer in the physician
who cured him. The banker, after re-
citing, like hundreds OF other correspond
ents. how he had been cured of several
very ugly marks on his face, suggested
that the Professor write a book on Dermat-
ology. He says he could not do better
thing Dor humanity. His volume would
arouse public interest In the great science
and those who have for years believed that
birthmark on their face would take cour-
age aud no doubt eventually be relieved oil
their blemishes. The banker is not, how
ever, aware that Prof. Woodbury. has al
ready written a 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 nov
become so we'll esta blished 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 Dermatological
Institute. No 125 West Forty second street.
New York City. which f. the largest esta b.
lshment OF the kind in the world.
