FACE. has not advanced At o.
snairs pace. II has run the race OF the hare,
but has not paused within sight Of the goal
Able physicians have brought TO this science
all the wealth of their experience and knowl1
edge, and II any one suffers to day through
facial blemish It IS his or her own fault
Foremost among the scientists who have
made undeniable triumphs in dermatology Is
John II. Woodbury., whose msgnihcently fur
nished parlors at 125 West Forty second
street, New York CITY, are daily filed with peO1
pie who apply TO him for relief from BIRTH
marks, moles, superfluous hair on the face and
kindred dlsfgUrements. Prof Woodbury. Is
really the dermatologist Of to-day. He Is tho
inventor Of Der1naform, which Is sold TO ply
slcians only. he Is also the inventor Of Wood
bury's 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
eminent medical practitioners in New York
who stand in the front rank as specialists In
rheumatism, consumption, &c, but there is
none holding higher place among those treat
ing skin diseases than Prof. Woodbury. Many
methods Of removing facial disdgurements
were tried before Prof Woodbury. solved the
riddle. This physician treated the blood, this
one used his scalpel and another useless
powder.
Prof Woodbury. revolutionized the science,
He advanced the extremely radical opinion
that birthmsrks or moles should be treated by
penetration; that they could be reduced TO
such a state that they would take on a scab,
and that when the scab fell the birthmark, OF
whatever the Disagreement might be, would
necessarily disappear. This was q sweeping
declaration, and old forms and practices were
shattered by it. Yet it was a true solution Of
the riddle. He uses no scalpel, nothing moro
than q harmless lotion, which changes the
birthmark into an ordinary scab. Many Of the
most eminent society people Of the metropolis,
who had been for years debarred from public
life through Disagreement Of the face, tes-
tify every day to the success OF the Professors
methods. There is no physician in this coun-
Try who has not some time or other attempted
to remove facial blemish, but where is there
one who can show such record Of uninter-
rupted success In so doing as Prof Woodbury.
He does not keep 4 record Of all the epistles he
receives testamentary Of his skill as derma-
tolOgisl. There is one letter, however, from a
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. The banker, after reciting,
Ike hundreds Of other correspondents how he
had been cured Of several very ugly marks on
his face, suggests that the Professor write
book on DermatolOgy. He says he could not
do better thing for humanity. His volume
would arouse public interest in the great SCI
ence, and those who have for years believed
that they must live all their life with a Grim
son birthmarlI on their face would take cour-
age and no doubt eventually be relieved Of
their blemishes. The banker is not, however,
aware that Prof. Woodbury. has already writ
ten q very instructive tresHse Of 145 pages on
the subject, and which any one may obtain by
RENTING 10 cents to his address. Prof Wood
bury's fame has now become so well estab-
llshed 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 Der
Institute, No. 125 West Forty
second street, New York City, which is the
largest establishment Of the kind In tns
world. -
