THE USE OF SOAPS.
How the Skin Is Injured by the Cheaper
3D.. Kinds.

Wv
Kinds.
Even in perfect health, the skin may
be said to be one of the most sensitive
of the bodily tissues, and when it is
naturally irritable and harsh it is liza
bic to be seriously affected by the sim
plest of external influences.
The skin is roughly divided into two
layers; the deeper one. or the true skin,
being the vital portion, and for the
most part responsible for the health of
the whole structure; while the exter-
nal layer is more of the nature of horn,
and serves as a protection for the It's
sues underneath.
The natural function of the true skin,
which is to excrete the perspiration,
tends, in normal conditions, to lubri-
cate this horny epidermis, as it is
called, and to keep it always soft and
somewhat moist.
The perspiration is, in tine main, COM
posed of watery and fatty sweat; and
in determining the suitability of any
cleansing medium, it is its relation to
these substances more than anything
else that we have to study.
Soap, as we all know, is made by the
action of alkalies, like potash and soda,
upon fats. There is generally, ven in
the best of soap, a greater or lass
amount of alkali above that required
to transform the fat into a 1t is
this free alkali that becomes prejudicial
to the skin. as it not only acts as an ir-
ritant, but combines with and remove
the fatty sweat. By its continued &C
ton the skin is rendered harsh and dry.
We may guard against the danger
which may attend, in some cases at
least, the free use of soap in either of
two ways-by limiting ourselves to
articles made by reputable firms, or by
using a soap which has an excess of
fatty matter in its composition, like
that known as castle"

the presence of free alkali, and their
