Coarse flannel is more irritating than any other material in ordinary use, and should therefore never be used when a sufficient amount of bodily heat can be maintained without it; as its use weakens, in the end, the perspiratory, and calorific, and depurating powers of the skin for the skin has all these powers and even, in some cases, brings on eruptive and other diseases.
One, in particular, is fresh in my memory. For example, the words respiratory and perspiratory he would accent on the third syllable rat; and, bless me, if to this day I don't have to think twice before I am sure which is right! With his superabundant physical, mental, and emotional energy, he was a natural orator; he was fond of an audience, and gratified by applause.
Una was sufficiently desirous of avoiding contention to keep to novels which portrayed life offices and family hotels and perspiratory husbands as all for the best. But now and then she doubted, and looked up from the pile of her husband's white-footed black-cotton socks to question whether life need be confined to Panama and Pemberton and Schwirtz. In deference to Mr.

I'm as damp as I can be from dancing so much." "That's easy to account for," says I, "when you happen to know that you've got two million sweat-glands working all at once. If every one of your perspiratory ducts, which are a quarter of an inch long, was placed end to end, they would reach a distance of seven miles." "Lawsy!" says Mrs. Sampson.
Access of air to every part of the skin when its perspiratory tubes are cleared and its blood-vessels are filled by friction is the best ordinary bath. In early life, children should be washed all over, every night or morning, to remove impurities from the skin. But in this process, careful regard should be paid to the peculiar constitution of a child.
Though the nature and quantity of the materials removed by these glands have not been fully determined, recent investigations have tended to enhance the importance attached to this mode of excretion. *The Perspiratory Glands.*—The perspiratory, or sweat, glands are located in the skin. They belong to the type of simple tubular glands and are very numerous over the entire surface of the body.
In the performance of this function, the skin is an important means of keeping the tissues soft and the blood and lymph from becoming too concentrated. *Other Functions of the Skin.*—Through the perspiratory glands the skin is an organ of excretion.
The owner of the dog had applied the solution with the tip of her finger; she experienced some salivation, which she attributed to this cause. The skin of the dog, from the feebleness of its perspiratory functions, is little sensible to the influence of diaphoretics: therefore we trust so much to external applications for the cure of diseases of the skin of that animal.
This does not seem probable from an experiment of Dr. Hales, Vegetable Statics, p. 30. He, found, by cutting off branches of trees with apples on them and taking off the leaves, that an apple exhaled about as much as two leaves the surfaces of which were nearly equal to the apple; whence it would appear that apples have as good a claim to be termed perspiratory organs as leaves.
