“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.”
PULMONARY CONSUMPTION.
J. W. PRICE, M. D.
ADDRESS BEFORE ELMIRA ACADEMY OF MEDICINE, JULY, 1887.
Curability and Treatment of Pulmonary Consumption.
“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 it to be the best protective device 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.”
Added to these statements are many more in this Treatise.
Properly fitting garments are advised, and as an illustration of the results achieved, exact reproductions from life are given. The manner and style adopted, is in keeping with all other features accomplished. The matter of detail has been sufficiently thorough to embody also the point of seaming.
SEAM.
A special seam is used to overcome objections which caused discomfort and irritation. This seam is flat, soft, and lends to the garments the appearance of seamless wear, to which is added the perfect fit only reached in cut and sewed underwear.
In the summary of the results of practice with the “Jaros Hygienic Underwear” by U.S. Army Posts, U. S. Navy Pay Inspector’s Department, Police and Fire Departments, Railway Companies, etc., etc., all scientific recommendations find verification.
Continuing the work of research and experiment, the aim is to aid the Profession in gaining the results desired with an ideal in clothing material.
CAUTION.—The success of the “Jaros Hygienic Wear,” and the recognition earned, has prescribed utmost care in properly stamping the Wear to protect the Profession against possible misrepresentations.
