If it becomes harsh or cracked, a little glycerine rubbed on after each washing may help it. =The Nails and their Care.= The nails are hardened parts of the epidermis. They are intended to prevent the ends of the fingers from being hurt and to give a neat appearance to the hand. The ends of the nails should never be chewed or torn off, as this makes the fingers blunt and the flesh sore.
The network of tough fibers which this tissue supplies, forms the essential body of the dermis and gives to it its power of resistance. It is on account of the connective tissue that the skins of animals can be converted into leather by tanning. These aid in different ways in the work of the skin. Epidermis, b. Pigment layer. c. Papillæ, d. Dermis. e. Fatty tissue. f, g, h.
Mount in water on a glass slide some thin slices of cartilage and examine first with a low and then with a high power of microscope. Mount and examine with the microscope thin slices of elder pith, potato, and the stems of growing plants. Make drawings of the cells thus observed. Examine with the microscope a small piece of the freshly sloughed off epidermis of a frog’s skin.
In twenty years what Robin Pierce called her "husk" would still be an exquisite thing, and she would be going about without hearing the horrible tap, tap of the crutch in whose sustaining power she really believed so little. She knew men, and she said to herself, as she had said to Robin, that for them beauty lies in the epidermis. "Hullo, Vi, lookin' in the glass!
#Papilloma.# The common wart or verruca is an outgrowth of the surface epidermis. It may be sessile or pedunculated hard or soft. The surface may be smooth, or fissured and foliated like a cauliflower, or it may be divided up into a number of spines. Warts are met with chiefly on the hands, and are often multiple, occurring in clusters or in successive crops.
For this operation, which restores tone and vigour to the muscular and nervous system, a separate and distinct apartment should, in high class baths, be provided. Vigorous friction with a coarse glove succeeds the shampooing. This detaches the dead portions of the epidermis, and is an operation generally practised in the Lavatorium a washing room adjoining the shampooing room.
So leaves and stem grow thick and round and juicy within; but outside they are enclosed in a stout layer of epidermis, which consists of empty glassy cells, and which can be peeled off or flayed with a knife like the skin of an animal. This outer layer prevents evaporation, and is a marked feature of all succulent plants which grow exposed to the sun on arid rocks or in sandy deserts.
It is also stated that only young pines are badly attacked by this form: it is rare to find Æcidia on trees more than twenty years or so old. The epidermis is already ruptured at p by the pressure of the young Æcidium. Much more disastrous results can be traced directly to the action of the mycelium in the cortex.
Continuous pressure would produce the opposite result. But under the stimulus of intermittent pressure the capillaries, or smallest blood vessels, furnish more nutriment to the cells composing the lowest layer of the outer skin or epidermis.
Epithelioma may develop anywhere on the body in relation to long-standing ulcers, especially that resulting from a burn or from lupus; this form usually presents an exuberant outgrowth of epidermis not unlike a cauliflower. An interesting example of epithelioma has been described by Neve of Kashmir.
