Cleaning the Skin.

Owing to the oiliness of the skin, 1t
cannot he efficiently clennsed by water
alone; hence the morning cold bath,
which is delightfully."- tonic and invigor-
ating to those with whom it agrees, Is
a delusion and Il snare so far as eff
cient cleansing properties are con
cerned. The rubbing which one IN
dergoes after the cold bath undoubted-
~ assists in the removal of the dried
secretons from the skin, but there -
still need of some substance which vii,
so modify the greasy coating as to
render 1t capable of being washed Off.
Such an agent we possess In soap,
which is essentially combination of
an alkali (soda or potash) and fat or
oil. There Is always some free alkall
In soap, and this. when rubbed with
water on the body. unites with the oily
material of the skin and renders it
soluble. Soaps made with potash soft
or black soaps contain too much al
kali. so that when they are used to
wash the skin the natural oil Is so
effectually removed as to leave the
skin dry and harsh and altogether too
tight as commonly expressed, for its
