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 hygroscopic 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."
