Further evidence of MRS ROLLESTON'S skill in. removing Superfluous Hair permanently by Electrolysis is represented in tho following: —

y Wellington. January 24th, 1918. HRS ROLLESTON, 256 Lambton quay. Dear* Madam, —I have pleasure in advising you that the treatment I had from you for the destruction of Superfluous Hair by Electrolysis has been a thorough success. As you know, the growth was a very strong one and it seemed at one time as-though I could not possibly get rid of it. ' On more than one occasion I felt disheartened, - and almost decided to givo up the treatment, but I am now v§ry thankful that I persevered, as I feel wejl rewarded.

I •would .like to thank you for your kind care and attention, and in conclusion would say that I can heartily recommend any sufferer to place her case in your hands.—l am, youra faithfully, C.L. ■ MRS ROLLKSTOST.
