"THE SKIN.--* * * The most thorough protection to the skin is secured
by the use of the JAROS HYGIENIC WEAR, especially during the cold and
damp season. * * * It will be seen that the cotton fabric secures a
comparatively static condition of air next the skin, while the fleece
wool combines the minimum radiation of heat from the body with the
greatest attainable hydroscopic power, thus securing uniform dryness
and warmth of the skin under various conditions of atmosphere. Dr. L.
L. McArthur has demonstrated before the Chicago Medical Society the
superiority of the Jaros Wear over all other fabrics for the purpose of
protecting the skin against rapid changes of temperature and humidity,
and my own experience with it altogether bears out his deduction."

DR. I. N. DANFORTH, in January, 1886, states:
"I am much impressed with the value of the "Jaros Hygienic Wear,"
especially in renal and other diseases in which sudden changes of body
temperature are hazardous. I think it will prove a valuable addition
to our means of treating chronic, renal and other diseases in which
full protection of the skin is all important."
