When conversing with friends who happen to look at them interestedly they feel that it is 'tho hair that is drawing attention. To a certain extent this is so, for one always notices and feels sorry for tboso afflicted i" IS wa r- Depilatories are useless, electrolysis as a rule marks the skin permanently, and very few remedies are to be relied upon for this trouble. There is a safe, sure, and simple remedy in "Kuldah" which is quite different from any other preparation—it is a lotion which penetrates the liaii- shaft n,nd withers the rdot. A remarkable feature of this remedy- is that while it destroys the hair permanently it docs not affect the ski".
