Artificial Noses, Mouth Formers and
Dimplc Denters.


The best artificial noses nowadays
are made of papier mache, enameled.
Such nose is fastened to spectacle
frame sometimes for the sake Of con-
venience and thus may be put on or re-
moved at brief notice.
There is patented contrivance,
somewhat resembling a clothespin, for
attachment to the nose to give to the
organ a proper taper. Another device
is supposed to improve the lines of
the mouth.
Not a few people have no roofs to
their mouths, having been born with
out any, or in other cases having lost
them by disease. For such unfortu-
mates artificial mouth roofs made Of
galvanized rubber are Furnished.
There is patented device for clean
ing the tongue, consisting Of knife
with Il concave edge to which sort of
sponge brush is attached. When one
is not well ones tongue is liable to be
disagreeably coated, but the annoy
ance may be removed by means Of the
instrument described.
If you desire dimples you may wear
q certain kind of wire mask at night
to which are attached blunt wooden
points that may be caused by the help
of screws to press upon the points
where the dimples are wanted. Thus
after awhile the dimples are made to
appear.
