Ancient Use of unguents for suppieneas

From the San Francisco Argonaut:
Il was the custom among the athletes
and the gladlators OF old TO pnolnt the
body with oils. And as the olive grew
upon the sunny Etruscan hills and on
the slopes Of greater and lesser Greece
as Il does today. II is probable that the
luxurious idlers IN the baths OF Cara
calla used for amounting their bodies
olive oil tlnctured with oriental per-
fumes. As for the Roman athletes.
they were In the habit Of using the
freshly expressed oil OF the olive TO
give agility and suppleness 10 their
limbs. Some OF the greatest beauties
OF whom history babbes have also
been prone 10 the use OF oil. Nine.
Recamier was In the habit OF partak-
Ing freely OF olive oil with her food
and used Il also after the bath. Her
beautiful skin and clear complexion
were doubtless due to this rather than
To powders or paints dabbed upon her
with brush or powder pun. as mod
orn patent medicine venders would
have many women believe. Tradition
says that both Cleopatra and Zenobia
partook freely OF olive oil and used oils
as inunctions after the bath. In the
countries where the olive flourlshes,
such AZ Italy, medical practitioners use
the oil very freely sor a host OF ail-
ments, Fever patients are sometimes
soothed Ia Italy by coplous lnunctlons
OF olive OIL. Il is maintained IN the
Leyantino countries that the use OF oil
externally prevents rheumatism. gout
and other kindred maladles which are
aggravated by external chllls. and that
the internal use Of the oil removes the
toxic condition OF the blood. which
leads to the generation OF these
maladies.
