THE BUST DEVELOPER SPINDLE

! '
 THE BUST DEVELOPER SPINDLE It should interest young women
 particularly that, so far as present
 knowledge goes, no remedy, food,
 appliance, ointment or other out
 wardly applied agent will either re-
 duce or increase local development
 or bring about any appreciable
 chanoge in the size of the breasts or
 any other part of the body.
 Massage, with or without electric ity, heat, light or other hocus-pocus
 has no effect on the size of the breast, The explanation offered by Gloria
 Glib the Beauty Expert that the high frequency current and the skillful massage breaks down the fat cells so the fat can be pushed around somewhere else or rubbed away al- together is calculated to satisfy the
 mind of Dumb Dora only. The only
 drawback about it is that there are
 no fat cells. Fat is always in or be-
 tween the normal tissue cells,
 whether it be the natural fat pad- ding under the skin or superfious deposit of fat; and, like fat in any
 other part of the body, it can he re- moved only by diet and exercise, re- gardless of what local treatment you
 choose to receive.
 Neither general exercise nor spe- cial exercises can develop the bust. Whatever improvement in appear ance exercise may bring-and rea- sonable schedule of daily setting-up exercises to supplement walking and such active games or play as a young woman may be able to enjoy, usu- ally does improve personal appear ance-is due to improved posture, carriage, tone or residence, features which make the difference between a slouch and an attractive figure.
 Brassieres or other supports in- evitably tend to make the breasts fiabbier. As for "molding" the figure by such garments or harness, that is an absurd notion which passed, with the wasp-waist corset. It is all right to resort to any artifice, bras sieres, pads, artificial eyelashes, freak | makeup if you are confident the fakery will make you more attractive | or help you find happiness, but the less you rely on such tricks in pri- vate the better for your personal ap- pearance and your health.
 Recently 8 number of physicians have reported from various places at various times that active growth ,f the breasts may be produced by injecting 150,000 to 350,OOO inter- national units of estrone or of es- radiol benzoate weekly, and some of hese physicians assert positively hat even the external application ,f the same estrogen in ointment 0 the skin. This method of treat nent is unavailable to any other han a physician, and 1t is likely to 'e of value 0Rly in cases where the lon-development of the breasts is associated with other signs or symp- oms of functional inadequacy or de- iciency in the endocrine or ductless land system. i
