The dress of the consumptive patient should be adapted to equalize the temperature of the body, so loose that it interferes in no way with the natural functions. The underclothing should be woolen, either lamb's wool or flannel. After an extended observation of the benefits derived from wearing the "Jaros Hygienic Underclothing,"—a wool fleece knit material of graded weights, adapted to the season, I believe to be the best protective devices yet known for these patients.
They are excellent non-conductors of changes of the temperature, and at the same time absorb cutaneous moisture—two most important qualities.

I take great pleasure in recommending your Hygienic Underwear as the best I have ever seen.
I have been wearing it now about four months, and can say it is the best protection from colds, and being so thoroughly a non-conductor, prevents the wearer from all ill effects of sudden changes of temperature; also a Rheumatic Prophylactic.
A lady patient of mine, who has suffered some four years with chronic bronchitis, is now wearing it, and is already very much relieved and improving faster with it, and without medicine, than she has previously with medicine, and at the same time wearing good flannel.
Respectfully yours,
S. B. Munn, M. D.
