KEEPING THE SKIN CLEAN.
Keeping ourselves clean is not a luxury, or ono of the artificial things that have come about through civilisation. To keen the body clean is a necessity for health as well as for comfort, and if you watch animals you will find that they too tako trouble to keep clean. Cats, as everybody knows, are extremely clean animals, and you will often see a dog rolling to clean himself. We, as we hjive no thick coats like these animals, have other means of keeping clean, and it is more important for us than it is for them, because our skin does work which their coated surfaces cannot do.
Through our skin we give off all tho time an invisible perspiration, as well as giving off that very perceptible ono when we get hot. If we do not keep the skin clean it cannot perspire properly, because the little openings on it through which the perspiration escapes get blocked up. _ That leads easily to nasty things like pimples and boils.
