The dress of the consumptive patient should be adapted to equalize the
temperature of the body, so loose that it interferes in no way with the
natural functions. The underclothing should be woolen, either lamb's
wool or flannel. After an extended observation of the benefits derived
from wearing the "JAROS HYGIENIC UNDERCLOTHING,"--a wool fleece knit
material of graded weights, adapted to the season, I believe to be the
best protective devices yet known for these patients.
They are excellent non-conductors of changes of the temperature, and at
the same time absorb cutaneous moisture--two most important qualities.
