A special seam is used to overcome objections which caused discomfort and irritation. This seam is flat, soft, and lends to the garments the appearance of seamless wear, to which is added the perfect fit only reached in cut and sewed underwear. [Illustration: MEN'S SUIT.] _CONCLUSION._ In the summary of the results of practice with the "Jaros Hygienic Underwear" by U.S. Army Posts, U. S. Navy Pay Inspector's Department, Police and Fire Departments, Railway Companies, etc., etc., all scientific recommendations find verification. Continuing the work of research and experiment, the aim is to aid the Profession in gaining the results desired with an ideal in clothing material. CAUTION.--The success of the "Jaros Hygienic Wear," and the recognition earned, has prescribed utmost care in properly stamping the Wear to protect the Profession against possible misrepresentations.

Treasurer Medico-Legal Society, Chicago: Attending Physician Michael Riess and Mercy Hospitals, Chicago. [Abstract of a paper read before the Chicago Medical Society on January 4, 1886.] The object of clothing should be the promotion and maintenance of good health, together with a feeling of well-being under all atmospheric conditions. Consideration of the subject naturally sub-divides itself into: I. Materials. II. Texture. III. Form of clothing. Chief among the materials used for clothing in the order of their respective merits are linen, cotton, silk, and wool, the latter being the best. A few words as to these materials in the raw state: Linen conducts heat better than cotton, silk or wool. It absorbs moisture and does not shrink. Cotton, also a vegetable fibre, which is hard, durable and does not shrink, has serious objections, in that it is very non-absorbent of moisture. It does not conduct heat as well as linen, but more rapidly than silk or wool. Silk, an animal product, consisting of fine, smooth round fibrillæ, having been in the liquid condition before leaving the body of the silkworm, possesses no central canal, and no oily coating. It is quite a good absorbent of moisture, ranking next to wool. At ordinary temperature it always contains between 9 and 12 per centum of moisture. In its sale or purchase, account is taken of the amount of moisture in order to protect the purchaser from paying silk prices for water.
