INSPECTOR OF POLICE, City of Chicago,
CHICAGO, January, 1889.
On the recommendation of Dr. Henrotin, Surgeon of Police and Fire
Departments, to Chief and Inspector of the Chicago Police Department,
the "Jaros Hygienic Underwear" was brought to the notice of the members
of the force, and has been used for a number of years with greatest
satisfaction. The consideration of personal Hygiene to raise the
efficiency of policemen, is gaining more general attention by Heads of
Departments, and my personal observation as Inspector of this force is
corroborative of, the necessity of regarding the question of clothing
for officers; especially during the inclement and cold seasons, from
October 1st to April 1st, when disabilities arise from exposure, which
result in pulmonary and kidney troubles and rheumatic affections.
The "Jaros Hygienic Underwear" has proven a most efficient
guard, raising the condition of the men, and bearing out fully
the recommendations of Dr. Henrotin. My personal experience is
corroborative of this. Proper underwear makes an overplus of outer
clothing, which is debilitating for men in service, unnecessary. I take
pleasure in giving my opinion, and the result of experience with our
men, and do not doubt that the underwear, when applied, will assert its
worth in all the claims that are made for it.
JOHN BONFIELD, Inspector of Police.
