DIMPLES.
Dimples, pretty dimples, are now considered by girls a decided improvement to female beauty, says the “ Family Doctor,” and if Nature has neglected to supply them, artificial ones are procured, and in the following manner:— The operator places a glass tube over the particular spot where it is wanted, no matter whether on the arm. cheek or neck. He sucks the air out of the tube, thus raising a slight prominence, around which he ties a piece of silk. Afterwards he slices off the small pimple with a surgical knife. The wound is then dressed, the bleeding arrested, and attended to until quite healed, when a silver cone is placed over the spot immediately in the centre, and bound on. The patient attends daily for several dressings. When the cone is removed at the completion of the process, the wound has developed into quite a pretty and natural looking dimple.
