face and kindred Disbursements. Prof
Woodbury. is really the dermatologist of
to-day. He is the inventor of ~pcrmaforni,
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
OF several facial appliances, which are
patented ut Washington. There arc ems
nent medical practitioners in New York
who stand in the front rank as specialists
In rheumatism. consumption, etc, but
there Is none holding u higher place among
those treating skin diseases than Prof.
Woodbury.. Many methods Of removing
facial distigurcincntS were tried before
Prof. Woodbury. solved the riddle. This,

Prof. Woodbury. rcvolutionized tho
science. He advanced the extremely radi-,
cal opinion that birthm0rks or molcs should
be treated by penetration; that they could.
be reduced to such II state that they would
take on a scab. and that when the scab fell!
the birthinark, or whatever the disigurc-
lnent might be. would necessarily disap-
pear. This was a sweeping declaration,

riddle. He uses no scalpel, nothing more
than II harmless lotion, which changes tho
birthmark into an ordinary scab. Many of
the most eminent society people of the
metropolis. who had been for wears dee
barred from public life through u distgure-
'incnt of the face. testify every day to tho
success of tho Professors methods. There
is no physician in this country who has not
some time or other attempted to remove u
facial blemtsh, but where is there one who
can show such a record of Uninterrupted
success in SO doing as Prof. Woodbury.?
HE does not keep a record of arp ths
icpistles he receives ~testamentary of his
skill as "a dermatologist. There is one
letter. however. from n prominent New
Jersey banker. which is worthy of
especial consideration. since it shows tho
who cured him. The banker, after re-
citing, like hundreds of other correspond
,cnts. how he had been cured of several
very ugly marks on his face, suggested
that the Professor write u book on Dermat.
,ology. He says he could not do IL better
thing for humanity. His volume would
arouse public interest in the great science,
and those who have for years believed that
they must live all their life with II crimson

ready written IL very instructive treatise of
Jas pages on tho subject. n which any
one may obtain by remitting 10 cents to his
address. Prof. We odbury's fame has now
