    This distinguished German physician has established the fact, that |

    f by the adoption of proper clothing; and he has constructed a system basedI on the principle of pure, animal fiber, for clothing and bedding. Hence |I the "Dr. Jaeger Sanitary Woolen System." It affords to the body the |^ greatest protection against Cold, Heat and Dampness, with the least ob- |I struction to the body's exhalations. These conditions are instinctively felt II to be better fulfilled by woolen, than by linen or cotton fabrics. Hence the |I very general use of flannel garments by athletes and by members of cricket, |I boating, and other sporting clubs, who are called upon to engage in vigor- |^ ous, physical exercise likely to cause profuse perspiration, which is simply I$ an intensification of the action of the skin, incessantly going on, with more |^ or less activity, and ceasing only with life itself. Dr. Jaeger reasons as fol- |I lows : If this action of the skin be imperfect, impeded, or repressed by any |I cause, fat and water accumulate in the tissues, the functional powers of which |I are lowered and weakened ; and the flesh, which should feel elastic, firm and |I hard, becomes soft and flabby, resulting in a general derangement of the |i physical organization; and the evil eflfect on the body is experienced in |i the form of many disorders which are erroneously considered to be more |I I

Further, dead vegetable fiber has |I the same property that the living plant has, of absorbing noxious gases, |I but it cannot, like the plant, digest or assimilate them. |I II In view, therefore, of the importance of maintaining a healthy and |I normal action of the skin, not only for persons: of active habits and pur- |I suits, but especially for those engaged in sedentary occupations, Dr. |I Jaeger selects Animal wool as the proper substance for his "Sanatory |I Clothing," and rejeds all linen, cotton attd silk for tmderwear and for \I bedding, as obstructive of the natural processes of absorption and evap- II oration. The advantages of this material seem obvious, as, when woven |I into tissues, wool possesses above all textile fabrics |I ... II I. A peculiar power of absorption and transmission |I 2. The properties of a non-conductor of heat so essential to the preserva- |I tion of an equable temperature of the body |I J. The property of promoting the elimination, from the tissues, of all |I excess of fat and water, thus making the flesh firm, and hardening \I aiui toughening the muscles. \I II As hitherto woven, woolen fabrics are objectionable to many because |I they irritate the skin and cause a feeling of intense discomfort, by prevent- |I ing the proper escape of the exudations of the skin, and, as a rule, they |I are so heavy as to be intolerable for summer wear. To remove these I^ ^p objectionable features, and to make woolen clothing truly sanatory, and |I suitable for all seasons protecting from oppressive heat in summer and |p maintaining a proper degree of warmth in winter Dr. Jaeger has ma- II terially modified the usual processes of weaving woolen fabrics, and |I adopted a method which produces a much less closely-woven texture thanI the ordinary flannel ; and all underwear for ladies, gentlemen and children |^ is made of "Stockinet," undyed or natural gray, very porous, agreeable ^I and durable. |i . . II From these conditions, together with the conformity in construction of |I the garments to the human anatomy, arise what Dr. Jaeger specifically |I claims as |

    THE SflNITIlRY SDVflNTIlGES OF PURE ANIMAL WOOL.I I. Wool "gently stimulates the skin," /. e., to that degree necessary ^^ to excite and maintain its normal activity in secreting and extruding the |I waste matter, and surplus fat and water of the body. ^I ^I II. Wool, relatively to linen and cotton, is a non-conductor of heat . ^I and electricity, and, therefore, tends to preserve to the animal body its ^I normal measure of these vital energies. |I III. Wool, woven and made up according to the Jaeger methods, by ^% \p reason of its permeability to moisture, (the vaporous exhalations of the ^^ skin,) promotes the elimination of the effete matters, and the reduction of Si the abnormal or excessive heat of the animal body ; and this is the reason |I . II why /he body, even when freely perspirmg, remains dry in woolen clo/hittg, \I while in linen or cotton, it becomes weta fact of common experience with |^ . ^^ all who engage in athletic exercises. |1 Ii IV. Wool thus co-operates with the skin to regulate, bv its exhalations, |2 ' ^^ the temperature of the body, the wool supplementing the efforts of the |^ . ^I skin to dispose of excess of heat, whether proceeding from internal or ^^ external sources, thus maintaining that equable state which is the true ^^ condition of health and comfort. Hence it is, that wool is better than |'/. linen or cotton as a preventive of the overheating of the blood, throughI internal heat ; and that woolen clothing is less oppressively hot than linenI or cotton in summer, and, therefore, more agreeable and healthful in theI hottest climates.

    I V. Wool is electrical, while linen and cotton are not; ?'. e., wool gen-I erates electricity, but does not conduct it. It follows, therefore, that aI body clothed in wool loses less of its animal electricity, while fresh elec-I

    tricity is produced on the surface. Most people are familiar with theI facility with which the human body conducts electricity. Cotton ranksI next to it as a conductor, while wool is classed with non-conductors andI insulators, and, for that reason, is called an electric, or generator of elec-I tricity. When the air is clear and dry, place a person upon a stool orI chair, the legs of which are supported from the floor by glass tumblers,I and beat him gently on the back with a woolen or camel-hair shawl, andI sparks may be drawn from his nose, or fingers, from one-fourth to three-I fourths of an inch long or large enough to light the gas of a burner,'/ or to charge a Leyden jar.

    The Sanitary Woolen System is, therefore, salutary for those whose |bodies are deficient in animal heat or electricity. With persons leading 5^sedentary lives, the action of the skin is deficient, and it requires the |stimulating aid of the woolen clothing, which materially assists in elimina- |ting from the tissues the excess of water and fatty matter always tending to |accumulate when insufficient exercise is taken. |

    READ THIS PAGE."The first wealth is health." Emerson.

    I" But you are to consider throughout, much more than is done at present, and what |it would have been a very great thing for me if I had been able to consider, that health |is a thing to be attended to continually; that you are to regard that as the very highest of ^all temporal things for you. There is no kind of achievement you could make in the ^world that is equal to good health," Carlyle. |

    IIt is not a little remarkable that, nearly a hundred years before Dr, |Jaeger electrified the world by the announcement of his Sanitary Woolen |System, all or nearly all its leading features had been promulgated by one |of the most-distinguished scientific explorers the world has ever pro- |duced Count Rumford. |

    Recognizing, on hygienic principles, the importance of clothing, he |prosecuted a series of the most elaborate experiments to determine the |relative values of the materials in use for that purposeespecially wool, |linen and cotton. We have space for only some of the results of these |extraordinary experiments. |

    After showing that the absorptive capacities of sheep's wool and cotton, |for water in its "elastic state," (the condition of the "insensible per- |spiration,") are relatively as 11 63 to 1089, he goes on to say: |

    "Woolen clothes greatly promote insensible perspiration, owing to the strong at- ^traction which subsists between wool and watery vapor which is continually issuing from ^the human body. It (the insensible perspiration) is evidently not due to the warmih |of the covering, for the same degree of warmth produced by more clothing of a different |kind, does not produce the same effect. |" The perspiration of the human body, being absorbed by a thick covering of flannel, |it is immediately distributed through the whole thickness of the substance, and by that ^means' exposed by a very large surface to be carried ofit' by the atmosphere ; and the loss ^of this watery vapor, which the fiannel sustains on the one side, by evaporation, being ^immediately restored from the other, in consequence of the strong attraction between the ^flannel, and this vapor, the pores of the skin are disencumbered, and they are continually |surrounded by a dry, warm, and salubrious atmosphere. ^"I am astonished that the custom of wearing flannel next the skin should not have ^prevailed more universally. I am confident it would have prevented a multitude of |diseases; and I know of no greater luxury than the comfortable sensation which arises ^from wearing it, especially after one is a little accustomed to it. ^" It is a mistaken notion that it is too warm a clothing for summer. I have worn it ^in the hotest climates, and in all seasons of the year, and never found the least incon- venience from it. It is the warm bath of a perspiration, confined by the linen shirt, wet ^with sweat, which renders the summer heats of the tropical climates so insupportable ; but ^flannel promotes perspiration, and favors its evaporation ; and evaporation, as is well ^known, produces positive cold. , ^"I shall be hajipy, however, if what I have said or done upon the subject should ^induce others to make a trial of what I have so long experienced, with the greatest ^advantage, and which, I am confident, they will find to contribute greatly to health, and, sconsequently, to all the other comforts and enjoyments of life. ^"/ shall thi-n think these expi'riments, trifling as they may appear, by far the %most important ones I have ever made. ' ^

    See Count Rumford s works, vol. I, pp. 233-236. sS:p "To KEEP WELL IN SUMMER, the clothing should be light, and that worn next the |

    ^ body should be of some material capable of readily absorbing the perspiration. Wool is ^p probably to be preferred, and it should be pure that is, unmixed with cotton." |I Dr. Wm. a. Hammon'D, Late Surg.-Gen'l U. S. Army. |
