WEGRINGoF FLANNELs.

We extract the following plain and sensible
remarks upon the importance of wearing fannels
:noxt the skin, from the work of Physiology, re.
Gently published by iM LA BoRDE, NJ. D., Pro.
; fessor in South Carolina College,
There is very important matter connected
with dress, which i cannot pass over in silence
/ mean the wearing Of flannel next the skim In
the minds of many persons there is n considera-
BILE prejudice: against wearing it, though of late
years there is a sounder public opinion than
formerly. will lnow; state very briefly tile ad.
vantages Of flannel ,and give some striking ex-
amples ia confirmation. In the first place, it. is
bad condnctor of cnloric and tends, therefore,
10 prevent the eescapeDfanimal heat. Secondly,
it aids largely protecting body against the
influences of :snddens changes in The weather
By preventing the rapid escape of the animal
heat, and by the gentle friction of the skin and
the slight irritationSof the general surface, its
tendency is o:keep upan equable temperature.
The gentle friction lin maintaining the circu-
ation in the cutaneo1s vessels, and at the same,
time imparts a healthf1l stimulus to the nerves.
That it contributes no little, to these ends may
be rendily perceived; by bserving the change of
temperature and other effects produced on a part
subjected to friction By the hand or in any other
way, know that the irritation produced by
flannel is SO great in some persons that they can
not wear it next thssskin. When it is worn
loosely as it should always be done, this friction
must take place to q considerable extent in eve
ry movement Of the body, have to add, rs
another advantage, that there is no other mate
rial which absorbs sotIwell the exhatations from
the skin. This fact igery naturally suggests a
frequent change of flannel or its thorough VEN
tillation at night; thesformer, however, is to be
preferred.
Much difference ofsopinioh exists as to the
time when flannel shohld be put on and taken
off, and here think a great error is often CON-
mited. With very many it is period Of severe
and dangerous trial; with nota few it should be
worn through: all ttheSear md this ) the class
Of persons who stand;most in need of it. 1t is
mistake to suppose shat 4hs wearer of flannel
in the hot months 'nec{ssatily suffers more from
heat than others. / sIaYe heard many persons
declare from personaf experience that it is not
80, and my oWnexpsrRlce is to the same effect.
Generally, q lighter ar4Cle should be substituted
during the summer ssson. Most persons con-
eeive it unnecessary Rswear it throughout tho
year. and now: the Question comes up when
should the change ofpparel be made. Boor-
haave, in alluding> to e dangers and difficulties
