Hygiene and the Skin.
Hygiene and the Skin:
Attention to the skin is an important item in personal hygiene,
not simply for appearance's sake, but also for the maintenance of
health. The skin is not alone a covering for the protection of the
body; it is one of the most active and extensive channels for the
separation from the body of those materials which have been used
up in the functions of the animal economy. It is a familiar fact,
that if a rabbit be varnished, so as to close the pores of the skin and
arrest the usual function of this organ, the animal dies in a few hours. The effect is just the same as if those important organs of
excretion, the kidneys, be removed from the body. The skin separates from the system almost as much waste material as the
kidneys, the lungs and the intestines together.
