Lad as an excretory organ.
Perhaps every one is aware that in
certain parts of the world where
water is scarce, the use of clean sand
is employed as a, cleansing agent for
the skin. For the mass of mankind
the use of water is more convenient,
and is of course praetically the only
agent employed to rid the skin of
inipurities.
Soap is but an aid to assist the
removal Of dust and grime by virtue
of its so/vent properties. Soap is al-
so desirable when the water etriPloYe
(id is hard; that is, when it eontaine
mineral properties which cause it to ,
be less solvent than water free from
mineral matter.
It is unnecessary to say that all •
soap used as tu1 aid to cleansing the
skin should be of good quality, since
It is Avell known that soaps conteln-
ing alkali in a free state are irritat-
ing and make the skin dry and hareh
The use or soap is generally omit-
ted or restricted o31 parts of the,
body like the face, where the skin 39
thin and where it is not subjected to
the intimate contact with dust which
falls to the lot of the hands.
When soap is employed frecatently
on the face, the protective, oily sub-
stances of the skin aro removed to
a greater extent than is 00004a111311/ .
with its healthy condition, and the
same is true, although perhaps to a,
less extent, in the case of the scalp.
After the use of neap -suds on the
scalp, which is occasionally resorted
to by most persons as a bygenie
measure, the use of some oily sub-
stance may be employed with ad-
vantage. This acts as a temporary
substitute until nature has hurl time
to replenish the hair with oil. .A.
better plan is to wash the scalp and
hair with water in which a 'teaspoon-
ful of vinegar has been stirred.
After exposure to sun and winds,
170use of soap on the face should
never be resorted to, but rather some
soothing, oily preparation; as for ex-
ample, 'vaseline, cold cream or eoco
butter. As a precautionary measure
any one of these may be used be-
forehand, to prevent irritation from
exposure; this is especially useful in
very dry climates.
It was formerly the custoin to use
buttermilk for the skin, and the ap-
plication of this homely remedy, as
a protective against sun and Wind, is
doubtless all that it is claimed to
be as a preservative of a good emu -
Pi a'hxicrUse of soap'on the hands in
cold weather, during exposure to
winds, and in hot. weather, during
expoeure to the san, should be sup-
plemented by the use of an oily pre-
paration for keeping the skin in a
healthy state and free from the many
disorders, of greater or less severity
of which Aveather extremes iney be
the starting -point. -Youth's Compan-
