This article appears in Volume V08, Page 56 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DEPILATORY (from Lat. depilare, to pull out the pilus or hair) , any substance, preparation or
process
  which will removesuperfluous
hair
 . For this purpose
caustic
  alkalis, alkaline earths and also
orpiment
  (trisulphide of
arsenic
 ) are used, the last being somewhat dangerous. No application is permanent in its effect, as the
hair
  always grows again. The only permanent method, which is, however, painful, slow in operation and likely to leave small scars, is by the use of an electric current for the destruction of the follicles by
electrolysis
 .
