I have very carefully examined and tested the "Jaros Hygienic Wear,"
and I find it the best hygienic wear manufactured. It is so constructed
as to conduct the moisture away from the body, thus retaining even
temperature, and preventing chilling of the surface by sudden changes.
The heavy will be especially adapted to switchmen and other railway
employees who are greatly exposed to the weather where cumbersome
overclothing is not only undesirable, but positively dangerous, as such
heavy outside garments impede their movements, and thus place them in
danger of accidents.
I especially recommend this wear to railway employees as a means of
comfort, safety and health.
Very truly,
E. P. MURDOCK,
Grand Medical Examiner,
Switchmen's Association.

CHICAGO, April 3, 1890.
DEAR SIR:--You are acquainted with the history of my accidently
learning of your underwear, and know the many doubts I had while
purchasing. I have given the garments the severest tests possible to
satisfy myself whether the goods were really what I so much needed, and
would hold out in the claims you made.
I have bought the best woolen and heaviest silk underwear in prominent
cities where I have travelled, abroad as well as in this country, with
the special view of getting something that would protect me while in my
rubber dress, on the long, cold and damp voyages I make. The exercise
and heavy rubber suit which I wear often cause active perspiration,
and my observation has been that from one to one and a half pounds of
moisture is thrown off during an exhibition lasting from one and a half
to two hours. With all other kind of underwear, this moisture was taken
up only partially, the garments becoming thoroughly wet, and causing a
chilling which was always hard for me to overcome; in fact, after these
aquatic exhibitions, I found it absolutely necessary to be well rubbed
to draw the blood to the surface and produce reaction, to prevent
trouble.
I speak of other underwear to give you an idea of this action, and the
difference in the body under trying conditions.
Your wool I found admirably selected and prepared, and so incorporated
to act quickly and absorb the moisture thrown off.
My experience is that the "_Jaros Hygienic Underwear_" does not only
relieve the body of perspiration, but also carries it to the cotton
framework outside, which thoroughly retains it, thereby keeping the
wool inside perfectly dry.
Since I began to use the underwear, I have never felt the chilling
which had always affected me with other underclothing, and I do not
find rubbing after an exhibition necessary.
I have no trace of rheumatic pain, and I feel physically much better.
The difference in the amount of perspiration seems to me marked, which
I attribute to the fact that the body temperature remains more nearly
the same. I am so well pleased with your underwear, that I use it for
general wear as well, and find every point you have claimed to be
realized in its use. In conclusion, I can say, that your underwear is a
boon and blessing to men exposed as sailors, firemen, soldiers, and as
well as the general public. Wishing you the success you deserve,
I remain, yours very respectfully,
PAUL BOYTON.
