HARROW.—We cannot give you the address of any person who removes
superfluous hair by electrolysis. For, in the first place, we will
advertise no one. In the second place, except in very few cases, we
disapprove of electrolysis; and, in the third place, electrolysis being
a surgical procedure, it is strongly against our principles to allow
any but a surgeon to perform it. If therefore you wish to have your
hairs removed, and you think that possibly electrolysis may effect
this, at all events, temporarily, you must go to a specialist in skin
diseases. You will have to pay highly, but no higher than you would
have to pay a so-called “professional epilator,” and you can have the
assurance that the surgeon will not consent to the procedure unless he
himself thinks that the treatment will prove of value.
TURQUOISE.—Rare as Méniere’s disease is, we know it, alas, too well!
It is one of those diseases which baffle medicine. There are very
many excellent physicians in Dublin, and the reason why they will
not express a definite opinion as to the curability of your friend’s
case is because they do not know. We do not know—nobody knows how
long the disease will last, or if it can be cured. Some cases recover
spontaneously, others recover after medical treatment, others after a
severe surgical procedure, others again never recover. We suppose your
friend has been to an aural specialist. We advise her to go again, and
tell him that her hopes are beginning to sink, and that lately she has
become despondent. Perhaps then he may suggest some further and more
radical attempts to relieve her.
GIRLS’ EMPLOYMENTS.
FIRENZE (_Dressmaking in Paris_).—We fear it would be by no means
easy to obtain employment in a Parisian dressmaking firm. The French
are not so eager to employ English dressmakers as we in this country
are to engage French women. On the other hand, English tailoring is
very fashionable in Paris. If you do go to Paris, you had certainly
better ask the Girls’ Friendly Society beforehand whether you could be
received into the Home at 48, Rue de Provence.
