Dear Mrs. Hullen,— For years I was tortured with'superfluous linir on my face, and fearod I should never rid myself : of the distressing disfigurement. • Boing extremely . sensitive, I suffered considerably, being ofteh reminded of the >'fact;'.which' I realised only too well;' :-I tried several so-called cnr*o9, also spent a''gr«at deal of monoy on electrolysis, but nil to no purpose. In fact, I got worse. ' Then I heard of "Rusma," aud, as n last resource,, decided to.give it a trial, though" having,little faith of ever bejng curcd. Imagine my surprise and delight on discovering that; with each treatment; the 'hair grew finer, until finally I was cured. "
