Paris this interesting beauty doctor
only treated individual cases. That
is, she never took lump sums and
tackled them. Her patients were ali
of the most exclusive circles, and the
suggestive method was applied in the
quiet of their own boudoir.
Mrs. Pomeroy frankly admits that
h will not try such conservative
methods owe here in America. She
is going to take her American ladies
tout ensemble.
She is coming over here. to study
American women, then she is going
to determine whether they are pro-
crossing or retrograding from the
beauty standpoint.
Mrs. Pomeroy is of the opinion that
American women are way below the
standard. If she finds this to be true
she is going to start right out to make
them over, and all because she be-
lieves in her system and because, SAYS
her secretary, MI. Hempstreet, her
only desire in life is to benefit women
to make them beautiful.
Already she has studied the women
OF Europe and Asia, with special at.
tention given to England and France.
Now she is ready for the American
women
Inc hrst thing Mrs. Pomeroy does
IN treating an individual patient is to
