Brooklyn, Wellington, 18th' December, 1912, Dear Mrs. Hullen,—

l'"or yours I was tortured with superfluous hair on my face, and feared I should never rid myself of the distressing disfigurement. Being extremely sensitive, I suffered considerably, being often reminded of the fact, which I realised only too well. I tried, several ro-cnlled cures, also spent a great deal Of money on electrolysis, but all to no purposo. In fact, I got .worse. Then I heard of "Rusma," and, as a Inst resource, decided to give it a trial, though having little fnith of ever being cured. Imagino my surprise and delight on discovering that, with each treatmont, the hair grew finer, until 'finally I was cured.
