But whe the pores are closed the skin
feels harsh and hot and dry.
But another result follows the closing

1t is familiar TO the commonest obser
yer that in all ordinary forms # disease
the patient begins TO get better the
moment he begins TO perspire. simply he
cause the internal heat is passing of and
there is an outlet for tbe waste of the
system. Thus il Is that one of the most
important means for curing all sickness
10 bodily cleanliness which is simply re.
moving from the mouths of these little
pores that gum and dust and oil which
clog them IN. Thus 1t is. also. that per.
sonal cleanliness is one Of the main ele.
ments Of health thus it 10 that ilth and
disease habtate together the world over.
| There are two kinds of perspiration,
sensible and insensible When We see
drors of water on the surface of the body
as the result of exercise or subsidence Of
fever. that is sensible perspration-per

certain softness of the skin that Is 10.
sensible perspiration and Is so gentle that
II may be checked TO n very considerable
extent without special injury But to use

The great practical lesson which we
wish TO impress upon the mind of th,
reader is this: When YOU are prrspirins
