The best treatment for the permanent
eradication Of wrinkles is the mask treat
ment, although the old reliable surgical
method is more suitable in cases where
there is great sagging about the cheeks

This is the method Of the mask treat

not until fuffs and curls are pushed back

nette. and ] ascertain her physical condi-
ton. This may cause some slight varia-
ton in my treatment.
In the beginning the skin is thoroughly
cieansed with soap and water: then il is
sterilized with an antiseptic solution.
Following this Is a gentle electric treat

whole face is encased in a snugly fitting
white mask. The materials composing

takes forty-eight hours. II causes no
pain.
At the end Of the time the mask is re-
moved and the old skin is found to be ad-
herring TO il. The second or the tighten

several separate layers each LAYER being
dried by tanning before the next is an,
