Anoel said. "However, when it develops to such a magnitude as to resort to the lifting of faces, straightening of legs and Indulging to other surgical vagaries It is carrying the thing too far." "Available (records," the health head continued, "Indicate that hundreds of permanent disfigurements have resulted from the foolish practice and that at best beautifying surgery Is but a temporary expedient "During the world war grim necessity developed a marvelous technique on the part of a comparatively few ethical surgeons In the making over and repairing faces. But It Is one thing to put a iiose on the face of a soldier and traite another to run to the alleged beauty specialist and submit to pracuccs not based on necessity."
