insure the hardening of the body, it is
necessary that every pore of the skin
should perform its functions without let
or hindrance. This cannot be, however,
so long as we clothe ourselves with vege-
table fibres which impede the circulation
of theair, retain noxious emanations, and
expose the surface of the body to sudden
chills. What is now known as DIR. Jaeger's
Sanitary Wooden Clothing is so contrived
as to obviate these evils"
The clothing is made with especial re-
gard to the health IF the wearer The
undergarments are of close-fitting stock
met, made of pure, undyed wool, and fit
closely at The extremities, preventing
dangerous sudden changes of temperature.
The front of the body, where the blood
vessels converge, has especial care, that
the circulation may be stimulated and
not exposed to sudden changes.
In its enthusiasm for the system the
Times continues; "Thc bed must also be

and pillow should also be stu cd and COW

the sleeper need fear neither cold nor
change of temperature, and is therefore
urged to keep his window well open at
night. Indeed, the possibility of thus
procuring pure air in the bedroom with
out risk is one of the most important ad-
vantages of the system. In reward for
this great change is the mode of living
the action of the skin is so stimulated
that the noxious principles, the bad hui

about, are soon given off and evaporated.
Corpulence is reduced, the flesh becomes
firm and thoroughly hardened, while the
accleration of nervous action and gen

mental working powers are demonstrated.
ALREADY DR.. Jaeger's Sanitary Wooden
System has been adopted by some of our
most eminent sanitary reformers, while
in Germany it has not only revolutioniz-
ed the trade of Stuttgart, where its foun-
der practices, but the clothes are worn
and highly appreciated by such men as
Count Won Moltke. OF course so
startling an innovation will be met with
the most strenuous opposition.

dence i'll its favor is sufficiently strong,
and the success achieved so widespread,
that it is at least only right to state the
case, leyeing the public, in DR., Jaeger's
own words, free to examine every thing
and retain the best"
The London Times is not alone with
its good words for the system. DR.. Jae-
ger brings with him TO this country many
complimentary words from the old coun-
try, and many more are added by promi-
nent people in all the walks of life in this
country. The writer has read articles of
praise for the system from many papers
among which are the following well
known to the public: The New York
Tribune, Mail and Express, Brooklyn
Standard, New York Commercial News,
Scientific American, the Christian at
Work the Dry-Goods Chronicle the
Brooklyn Daily Standard, New York
Christian Advocate, the Churchman, New
York Independent, and others.
