Pug Moses Made Straight and Ears
Pinned Back to Order.


The speaker was the proprietor of
large Chronological Institute" in THU
city, and he has been in the business o
making faces over for 20 years.
"How about noeesq" was asked.
SWELL, there was rather more men thar
women who want their noses improved
They get puffy and coarse looking and
have to be reduced in size. But treated
lady the other day whose nose wai
twisted clear over on one side, the result
of a fall when a child. A knot of bone
stood out at the left of the bridge, aud alto
pether it was pretty bad looking nose.
Instruments were inserted under the flesh
and the bone was scraped down. Then
little metal arrangements were put on to
bring it over and hold it in position.
You won't see any traces Of the operation
when it heals. Another lady, whose nose
has no bone or cartilage half way from
the tip, am going to treat with an ar
tificial bridge of gold. When the flesh is
brought up over this her nose will be just
IS good as anybody's.
"Pug noses9 Oh, certainly. I make
them over continually. In such cases the
bridge sinks down where it ought to be
straight. The flesh is brought up from
each side and subjected to pressure, which
causes the concave spot to rise to til
proper outline"
Edmond About's grewsome tale of
"The Nose of Notary" here came to
mind, and the gentleman was asked if he
could furnish an entire new nose; but he
shook his head doubtfully and said he
had never tried.
"Oh, yes, madam, can take off those
freckles."
The words fioated out from behind q
tall screen, where an assistant was bend
ing over young woman.
"But will they stay off" was whispered
to the proprietor.
certainly, if she goes on using the
same preparation after they are removed.
"Birthmarks are taken away by an ap-
pllcation which penetrates and destroys
the tissue without breaking the skin.
Suppose the cuticle is pitted by smallpox
or the ordinary acne which so many
people have, should use something like
this" and he picked up cup shaped APP
paratus which, by suction, drew up the
flesh, producing peculiar sensation by
no means 80 unpleasant as pinchlng.
"This breaks up the tissues and induces
circulation, two very essential points in
removing this kind Of Disagreement.
"Hollow cheeks are treated by means
of an instrument and manipulation, or
massage. Wrinkles are managed the
same way"
$50 men are just as particular about
their looks as the womens"
Every bit; | treat just as many of one
as the other. The men want superfuous
hair removed, pimples, scars and pittings
eradicated, noses Strengthened and thin
ned down, hollow cheeks pumped out
and ears set back Just as often as the
women. The only instance where the
ladies carry the majority is in the matter
of wrinkles. Crows feet, those first in
dicators of age, are their pet adherence.
They are very easily removed, too. Elias
tic skin is the most subject to wrinkles.
'Women don't seem to care so much
about their ears as men. l suppose they
can more easily dress their hair to hide
defects. Just look at that letter."
TWAS from gentleman, who informed
the doctor that his ears were getting along
beautifully, and he was profuse in his
expressions of gratitude for what had been
done.
"That mans ears stood out so that they
were the first thing you saw when he
came in sight. They made him look
positively comical. We cut the skin back
of the ear, drew it up, and bandaged the
ear down tightly, and now he goes about
in the happy consciousness Of no longer
exciting the gibes and sneers of the un-
sympathetic.
"Do you know that people with thick
skin and coarse hair never get bald? It
is 80. It is the thin skin with the fine.
delicate capillaries that loses hair, and
needs looking after. Persons with such
skins should often take treatment for the
prevention of loss of hair.
"People travelling should be careful not
to wipe on towels after strangers. Skin
diseases are continually being communi
Gated IN this way. Amy facial soap will
counterfeit all such effects, but it is best
to be careful.
do we treat actresses much7 Well. I
should say so; but not any more than
woman in private life. They almost in
variably wish to be cured of skin diseases,
caused by the cosmetics they are obliged
to use and sometimes by impure SOAP"
