In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion, which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather
During warm weather this secretion, in
common with all the other secretions of
the skin, is more abundant than in cold
When it is insufficient the skin becomes
dry and harsh and on those parts Of the
body where the skin is thick and subject
to much motion, as on the hands, it readily
cracks or fssures The amount Of this Sc
cretion is So much reduced in cold weather
that the frequent washing Of the hands
with sap causes them to chap readily,
and this the more certainly if the soap is
not washed of. The alkkaE in SOAP is
usually in excess. and this combines with
the oily secretion, and 50 deprives the skin
