1t opens the pores Of the skin and flesh,
ard draws the morbid matter Of the flesh
and skin 10 The surface. Although the
skin is so very thin, it is composed Of
three layers. The external layer is called
the cuticle or scarf skin. This, when
separate flom the others, is nearly trans
parent, very Thin AID insensibe. Next
below this is The ree mucosum, or mucus
net work. 1t is in this part that The col.
oring matter OF the skin resides, as the
others are white and colorless. This has
decided hue, varying with the individ-
ual. The deepest layer is The CUTS vera
or true skin, which is supplied or con.
nected with nerves, and possesses sensi
bility. The skin is one of the great regu
ators OF the temperature Of the body, CO
operating with the respiration. There is
continually exuding through the exter.
nal in!eguments considerable quantity
OF moisture. called perspiration, which,
when copious, as duling exercise in warm
weather, stands out in drops, but, at other
times, ekes out more slowly in the form OF
a vapor, so tha! i; cannot be perceived, is
then denominated insensible perspiration.
Experiments have shown the latter to be
thrown out, on All. average, TO the extent
OF from 20 10 80 ounces in "a
hours. In the animal body, the respira.
ton is the principal producer of the heat o
The body. while the skin, by the processes
OF Transportation and aporalion, is its
great regulator. The process of evapora-
ton, as every chems: knows, is an
evolving process.
When The system is laboring under a
high fever, the action OF the skin is en-.
tirely stopped, producing a harsh, dry
and exceedingly disagreeable condition OF
this organ. 1t is, then, almost always
the tlrst object Of tie physician TO restore

system. II he can cause an evaporation
TO take place from tie skin, the natural
heat Of the body will soon be reduced to
its proper standard.
From these facts may be learned the
great importance of keeping the surface

md the perspiration allowed to have un.
Interrupted egress. A pure skin is as
