'Brooklyn, Wellington, ' 18th December, 1012. Dear Mrs. Hullcn.-r-For years I was tortured with superfluous hair on my face, and feared I should never rid myself of too distressing disfigurement, Being 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-1 heard of "Rusma," and, as a last resource, decided to givo it a trial, though' having little faith of ever being cured. Irnagino my surprise and delight on discovering that, with each treatment, the hair grew finer, until finally I was cured.
