It is claimed by many of the most prominent opera-tors for epilation by this method, that the usual result of their experience-will show a permanent destruction of eighty-five to ninety per cent, of ailthe hairs electrolyzed. The accompanying illustrations of a case of hypertrichosis will serveto exhibit certain points of interest in the treatment of this disfigurementby means of electrolysis. These are all photo-lithographs, which weretaken by the author as original photographs from the face of a femalepatient. The first illustration (Fig. 37), represents the appearance ofthe womans face after about three hundred hairs had been Fig. 37. Treatment was intormitted between the first of June and the first ofOctober. At the former date 2500 hairs had been removed. On thefourth of October the second photograph was taken, of which a repre-sentation is presented in the photo-lithograph of Fig. 38. This photo-graph was taken immediately after the sitting on that day, and some ofthe marks of the electro-punctures can be seen in the figure. The hairlow down on the throat has been cut shorter than at the time of the pre-vious photograph. 254 ELECTROLYSIS. The next illustration (Fig. 39) was taken seven days later, and in thisinterval four long sittings had been given, during all of which about twohundred hairs more had been removed. This photograph was taken im-mediately after the fourth sitting and the marks of the punctures areplainly visible upon the right side of the chin.
