Causes
Body to Sweat
Excessively?
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN. MD.

EXCESSIVE sweating in various
parts of the body is common. 1t
causes inconvenience. not only be-
cause of the discomfort produced,
but also because of other conditions
which may develop due to it.
There are a number Of general
disorders which may be responsible
for excessive sweating, such as
toxic goiter, ricketts,. overweight,
and the excessive use of alcoholic
beverages.
Fear and Excitement
Sweating also occurs with fear
and excitement. Excessive sweating
can be made worse by certain dis
orders such as flat feet: by pro-
longed standing, overwork, and the
drinking of hot fluids. All of these
are more likely to cause sweating
during hot weather.
The parts of the body most usu-
ally involved, are the hands, feet,
and armpits. The palms and soles
are often affected.
Irritated Skin
The sweat may dissolve out dyes
and other chemicals from clothing.
These substances may irritate the
skin and produce Inflammation. The
constant presence of moisture en-
courages the growth of germs. In
the armpits and feet, the sweat and
the fat secretions may be acted upon
by these germs and broken down
into acid substances which produce
bad odor.
Furthermore, in certain areas the
moisture encourages the growth Of
moles, like the ringworm parasite,
so that the skin is excessively dam
aged. 1t has been found, also. that
warts are more common and -four
ish in persons who sweat great
deal.
Method of Treatment
There is no one method of treat
ment which will get rid of this dis
order in all persons. However, good
care of the skin is important in pre-
venting some of the complications.
For example, frequent changes Of
the socks and shoes and the wearing
of open shoes in hot weather will
do much to relieve the worst fea-
lures of sweating of the feet. Flat
feet should be treated by an ortho-
pedic specialist. The wearing Of
light clothing should be encouraged.
Drugs in general are not of
great deal of value but may be help
ful. Bland powders, such as boracic
acid. tale. or tale and salicylic acid
may help to absorb the sweat. Prep
arations of lime salts have also been
found quite helpful.
X-ray treatments have been found
of value in many cases. but now and
then they do no good. AS a rule, this
treatment fails when the sweating
is due to emotional disturbances.
OF course, such treatment must al
ways be carried out by an expert.
Attention must also be paid to
the patients general condition. He
should get plenty of rest and sleep.
and avoid overwork and emotional
: strain.

Don't Neglect
A Nice Skin
By HELEN FOLLETT

WHEN women gather together
for little pleasant gabbing and the
question of compilations comes up,
you would think that every feminine
face in the land was beset with skin
defects. The cutaneous coating is too
dry or too oily. So they fancy. As if
Nature had never produced one that
qualities! There are millions OF
women who are blessed with fine
textured complexions Of pleasing
coloring. They have taken care OF
them, that's why. They got an early
start in that 100 year war against
old meanie Time.
Many defects are caused by neg
lect. The girl who retires at night
without removing makeup should
be told that unless she takes a clean
face to bed with her, the skin will
not function normally. 1t is better to
remove the war paint with a light
cream than to go at it tooth and nail
with soap suds. The soapy cleansing
should follow the creamy one. After
rinsing with warm water, a gentle
drying, more cream should be ap-
piled.
Surface SmoOthness
Lubrications give life to the epi-
dermal structure. They impart sur
face smoothness. The light massage
necessary for spreading the fra
grant emcllient stimulates the blood
streams and helps keep tissues firm.
Just be careful not to push the flesh
up around the eyes if you are past
the thirtieth milestone. Pat and slap.
If the skin is dry, and you live in
a steam heated apartment, put wa
ter containers on every radiator and
keep them filled to the top. More
fatty elements in the diet will urge
the sebaceous glands to perform
more actively.
If the skin is oily, wash your face
every night with rich, sudsy
lather and q complexion brush
After rinsing and drying apply
lotion made by dissolving one tea
spoonful of ordinary baking soda in
. cup Of water. Every morning use
cold water freely, apply witch hazel
with pledgets Of cotton.
