Brooklyn, Wellington, 13th December, 1912. Dear Mrs. Hullen,— For years 1 was tortured with superfluous hair on my face, and foarod I 9hould never rid myself of the distressing disfigurement. Boing extremely sensitive, I suffered considerably, being often reminded of tho fact, which I realised only too well. I tried several so-called cures, also spent n great deal of money on electrolysis, but all to no purposo In fact, I got worse. Then I heard of "Rusma," and, as a last resource, decided to civo it a trial, though. having little faith of cvor being cured. linagino my surprise and delight on discovering that, with each treatmont, tho hair grew finer, until finally I wns cured.
