There is one striking popularity
about the Hottcntots which no stran-
ger can fail to observe. which is that
all adults look old. 1t is not unusual
to see amongst them men and women
not exceeding twenty-five years of age
whose faces, necks and bodies are
seamed and corrugated with wrinkles,
only met with elsewhere among Octo-
genarians. This popularity is believed
TO be due to the effects of the ointment
before referred to, which it is said
tends to destroy the elasticity OF the
skin, and the consequence is when n
liottentot becomes fat and portly,
which he generally manages to do at
least once in his lifetime, his skin eX-
pands to the occasion and he looks
sleek. and at his best. But when he
gets thin again which he is sure to do,
and which is his normal condition. the
skin, for want of elasticity, refuses to
contract smoothly with the shrinking
flesh, but collapscs, as it were in fur,
rows and seams. j. w. SILER
