When acute inflammation is presenij, as in your case, there is no better applica-« tien than tepid water, with «r without » little gelatine in solution. Then «n aj> plication of ointment of hypochlorid 1 c 0$ sulphur would bo found beneficial. s Ai most important factor is the state- of thet digestive and other organs. Especially aft this time of the year, it is most essential , Jo hare the blood pure if you irish your ■skin to be healthy. You. would do welt to take some spring medicine to • purify, your blood. After washing, rub the face well with "a dry towel, so as to keep ~tKa pores clean-, then apply cold, cream at bed* time, an« I trust you will ( obtain relief. - However, you are very liable to them -at your age., in spite of treatment, but "eaTe will improve your" condition. (2) The- oa'ly, effective' method sf removing superfluous - hair is by means .electricity. ThtJ ' method, however, can only be applied byi an expert. It is not capable of removing fine downy hairs, but only large and cqarsa' hairs, aaid each hair ha to bs separately^ ' removed. The operation is somewhat expensive; and only a few hairs can b"a . removed at a sitting. All other means for destroying superfluous hairs are useless, in respect that the warning nrasf be given against the use of many of ths substances 'need for the purpose of re* moving hairs; inasmuch as their frequejiti use tends to produce inflammation of the* , skin. (3)f I would advise B, if she really) c»Te3 for ' A,, to show a little more con-* sidsration for his feelings — 'that is, if h« has declared them to her-, No doubt hfa considers by her manner that she prefers 1 C's company to his. While not expect* 1 ing to grVe up enjoying other people's ■society, it would be advisable if sli-o reframed from embairaasiiig B by showiufl her preference to Cs companionship. Anxious. — Tlierc is still a demand for -lady doctors in India. The upper classes oft natives will rarely permit a visit being made by a male medico to the apartment* of the women.
