FACE, has not advanced at q
snail's pace. 1t 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 knowl-
edge, and If any one suffers to day through
facial blemish 1t Is his or her own fault
Foremost among the scientists who have
made undenable triumphs in dermatology is
John Fl. Woodbury., whose magnihcenty fur
nished parlors at 125 West Forty second
street, New York City, are daily filled with peo-
pie who apply to him for relief from birth
marks, moles, super1uous hair on the face and :
kindred disfgurements. Prof. Woodbury. Is
really the dermatologist of to-day. He is the
inventor Of Dermaform, which is sold to ply
sicians only. He is also the inventor of Wood.
bury's Facial Soap for the skin, scalp and
complexion, which ID for sale by all druggists;
also the inventor of several facial appliances,
which are patented at Washington There are
eminent medical practitioners in New York
who stand in the front rank as specialists In
rheumatism, consumption, &c, but there ts'
none holding higher place among those treat
ing skin diseases than Prof. Woodbury.. Many
methods of removing facial disfgurements
we're 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 birthmarks or moles should be treated by
penetration; that they could be reduced to
such state that they would take on scab,
and that when the scab fell the birthmark, OF
whatever the Disagreement might be, would
necessarily disappear. This was sweeping
declaration, and old forms and practices were
shattered by 1t. Yet it was true solution OF
the riddle. He uses no scalpel, nothing more
than a harmless lotion, which changes the
birthmark into an ordinary scab. Many of the
most eminent society people OF the metropolis,

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 a facial blemish, but where Is there
one who can show such a record OF uninterS
rupted success in so doing as Prof, Woodburyt
He does not keep record OF all theepistles he

tologist There is one letter, however, from %
prominent New Jersey banker, which isworthy
OF especial consideration, since 1t shows the
deep interest of the writer in the physician
who cured him The banker, after rtciting,
like hundreds Of other correspondents, how he
had been cured of several very ugly marks on
his face suggests that the Professor write
book on DcrmatolOgy. He says he could not
do better thing for humanity. Ills 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 Grim,
son birthmark on their face would take coplr-.
age and no doubt eventually be relieved o.
their blemishes. The banker is not, however,
aware that Prof. Woodbury. has already writ
ten a very instructive treatise of 1io pages on
the subject. and which any one may obtain by
