Dear Mrs. Hullon,— For years I was tortured with superfluous hair on my face, mid feared I should never rid myself of tho distressing disfigurement. Being extremely sensitive, I .-suffered considerably, being often reminded of the fact, which I realised only tco well. I tried several ro-called fcures, also spent a great deal of money on electrolysis, but all to no purpose. In fact, I got worse. Then'l heard of "Rusina," and, as a last resource, decided to givo it a trial, though having little faith -of ever being cured. Imagino my, surprise ami delight on discovering that, with each treatment, the hair grew finer, until- finally I was cured.
