Brooklyn, Wellington, 18th December, 1912. Dear Mrs. Hullon,— For years I was tortured with superfluous hair on my face, and feared I should never rid myself of the distressing disfigurement. Boinp extremely sensitive, I suffered considerably, being often reminded of the fact, which I realised only too well. I tried several so-called cures, also spent a great deal of money on electrolysis, but all to no purpose. "In fact, I got worse. Then I heard of "Rusma," and, as a last resource, decided to givo it a trial, though having littlo faith of over being cured. Imagine ray surpriso and delight on discovering that, with each trcntmeut, tho hair grew, finer, until finally I was cured.,
