TESTIMONIALS Extracts—Renal Disease. BRIGHT'S DISEASE AND ALLIED AFFECTIONS OF THE KIDNEYS. By CHARLES W. PURDY, M. D., Prof. of Genito-Urinary and Renal Diseases in the Chicago Polyclinic. Chapter 1.—Albuminuria.—Pages 54-55. The Skin.—"* * * The most thorough protection to the skin is secured by the use of the Jaros Hygienic Wear, especially during the cold and damp season. * * * It will be seen that the cotton fabric secures a comparatively static condition of air next the skin, while the fleece wool combines the minimum radiation of heat from the body with the greatest attainable hygroscopic power, thus securing uniform dryness and warmth of the skin under various conditions of atmosphere. Dr. L. L. McArthur has demonstrated before the Chicago Medical Society the superiority of the Jaros Wear over all other fabrics for the purpose of protecting the skin against rapid changes of temperature and humidity, and my own experience with it altogether bears out his deduction." CHRONIC BRIGHT'S DISEASE OF THE KIDNEYS. J. H. PRICE, M. D., Elmira, N. Y. (Abstract of Paper read before N. Y. State Medical Society, July, 1886.) "Fleece lined or silk under garments, according to the season, should be worn next to the skin the entire year. I would especially recommend for these patients the "Jaros Hygienic Underwear." These garments are light, warm, and delightfully soft. They afford full protection to the body against sudden chilling." Physicians—Renal Disease, Gen'l Value. MOSES GUNN, M. D., LL. D., Treas. Rush Medical College, Professor Surgery, 2101 Calumet Ave. Chicago, Dec. 10, 1885. Mr. J. Jaros. I have been wearing for the past few weeks the fleece-lined underclothing of the Jaros Hygienic Wear. As a protection in extreme cold weather, this fabric is most comfortably efficacious. It also reduces to a minimum the unpleasant chilly sensations incident to a sudden change from an overheated room to the untempered cold of out-door winter weather. It possesses, therefore, hygienic value. Moses Gunn, M. D., LL. D. De LASKIE MILLER, Ph. D., M. D., Secretary Rush Medical College, Prof. Obstetrics. Chicago, Dec. 10, 1885. Mr. J. Jaros, City. I have examined specimens of your "Jaros Hygienic Wear" with much interest. In material and construction these garments fulfill completely the requirements of the scientific essentials in underwear, insuring to the highest degree both the comfort and the health of the wearer, and as such I recommend them. De Laskie Miller, Ph. D., M. D. I concur in the above. J. ADAMS ALLEN, M. D., LL. D., President Rush Medical College Prof. Practice of Medicine. I. N. DANFORTH, A. M., M. D., Prof. of Renal Diseases, Chicago Medical College. Chicago Medical College, Medical Department } J. Jaros, Esq. My Dear Sir:—I am much impressed with (the value) of the Jaros Hygienic Wear, especially in renal and other diseases in which sudden changes of body temperature are hazardous. I think it will prove a valuable addition to our means of treating chronic, renal and other diseases in which full protection of the skin is all important. Yours truly, I. N. Danforth, A. M., M. D. Phy's—Pulmonary Consumption, Bronchitis. W. F. BOGART, M. D. Black Hawk, Colo., Feb'y 5, '89. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill. Gents:—I am delighted with your underwear for myself, and always recommend it to my patients that are troubled with Lung or Bronchial diseases. Respectfully, W. F. BOGART, M. D. ADDRESS BEFORE ELMIRA ACADEMY OF MEDICINE, JULY, 1887. Curability and Treatment of Pulmonary Consumption. By J. W. Price, M. D. 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. S. B. MUNN, M. D. Waterbury, Conn., Jan. 17, 1888. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co.: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. Physicians—Bronchitis, Rheumatism. ROBERT HUNTER, M. D., No. 103 State Street, corner of Washington. Chicago, Oct. 24, 1885. Mr. J. Jaros: Dear Sir:—I have great pleasure in expressing my entire approval of your underwear. It affords a better protection to the body in our variable climate than any kind of flannel in use. Nothing but wool is fit to maintain the capillary circulation of the skin, preserve warmth and promote insensible perspiration, without which good health impossible. I find your garments invaluable in the treatment of lung complaints, and recommend them to all my patients. Robert Hunter, M. D. JAMES NEVINS HYDE, A. M., M. D., Professor of Skin and Venereal Diseases, Rush Medical College, 204 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, February 17, 1888. Gentlemen:—I take especial pleasure in saying that I have often employed the Jaros Wear in cases of muscular and other forms of rheumatism, and always with advantage to the patient. I have had knowledge of the value of these undergarments for a period of time sufficiently long to justify me in stating very positively that I regard them as a valuable means of protecting the surface of the body from the climatic changes to which it is much exposed in this part of the country. James Nevins Hyde. J. E. HARPER, A. M., M. D. Prof. Ophthalmology and Otology, College Physicians and Surgeons, Ophthalmic College, and Attending Surgeon Oakwood Retreat, Lake Geneva, Wis. Chicago, June 6th, '88. To J. Jaros, Chicago, Ill.Dear Sir:—I have felt for some time that I would like to give expression to my high regard for your "Hygienic Underwear," and hope you will accept the following as a spontaneous estimate of its value as an adjunct to the treatment of certain diseases as well as a reliable prophylactic. I have used your underwear in my family and recommended it to my patients during the past year, and am firmly convinced that its merits can not be overestimated as regards a comfortable and protecting material for undergarments. Persons affected with the rheumatic diathesis, those who have weak heart or lungs, and those having catarrhal troubles, or who take cold easily, should use your underwear constantly. Respectfully, J. E. Harper. Physicians—Rheumatism. JOHN H. PRICE, M. D., Sec.'y Chemung County, Med. Soc., N. Y. Elmira, N. Y., Apr. 29, 1887. J. Jaros, Esq. My Dear Sir:—The object of clothing is to preserve the proper heat of the body, by protecting it both from cold and heat, and thus to prevent the injurious actions of sudden changes of temperature upon the skin. This object is most admirably accomplished by the "Jaros Hygienic Wear." I have demonstrated this most important fact in my own person during the past six months. For several years past I have been much annoyed by occasional attacks of muscular Rheumatism. Since I began to wear the "Jaros Hygienic Clothing" I have been almost entirely free from these attacks. I deem them a valuable auxiliary in the treatment of Consumption, Bright's Disease and Rheumatism. Very truly yours, John H. Price, M. D. E. J. DORING, M. D., President Chicago Medico-Legal Society, 2406 Prairie Avenue. Chicago, Jan. 14, 1888. Mr. J. Jaros.Dear Sir:—Referring to your letter of the 12th, I wish to say in reply that I have frequently had occasion to recommend your Underwear for patients suffering from Rheumatism, Neuralgia, etc., and have been entirely satisfied with the results obtained. I shall continue to recommend it. Very respectfully, Edwin J. Doring, M. D. NORMAN BRIDGE, M. D., Prof. of Pathology and adjunct Professor of the principles and practice of Medicine, Rush Medical College. Chicago, 6, 5, 1888. J. Jaros, Esq.Dear Sir:—One winter's practical use of the Underwear manufactured by your company, as well as the observation of the use of it by others have convinced me of its great value as an under clothing for protecting the body against cold and various diseases in some measure incident thereto, especially rheumatoid affections. The physical principles of its construction appear to be correct, and it is certainly very agreeable to the wearer. Most truly yours, Norman Bridge. DAVID WARMAN, M. D. Trenton, N. J., Feb. 11, 1888. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill. Dear Sirs:—My experience with your Hygienic Underwear, though somewhat limited at present, I cheerfully give you. One of my patients wearing it is delighted, and so am I. The patient was a sufferer from Muscular Rheumatism, and since he donned your garments he has not had an attack; although the weather has just been of the kind to produce the disease. In this peculiar and ever changing climate of ours, it is important to wear woolen undergarments the year round. They not only protect from cold, but heat as well, by aiding in evaporation from the body and keeping the surface warm. The principles upon which your wear is constructed is undoubtedly correct, in maintaining a healthy and normal action of the skin and thereby diminishing the liability to taking cold. I take great pleasure in recommending them to my patients. Sincerely yours, David Warman. R. W. BISHOP, A. B., M. D., Prof. Physiology and Dermatology, Chicago Med. College. Chicago, Aug. 29,1887. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co. I have much pleasure in stating that I have used your Underwear for several years, and have found it invaluable as a safeguard against many of the ills caused by sudden and severe climatic changes. I also prescribe it for Rheumatism. Yours respectively, R. W. Bishop. S. A. CONKLING, M. D. Canton, Ohio, Feb. 14th, 1888. Jaros Hygienic Co., Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen:—After a trial during the past winter of the Jaros Hygienic Wear I am fully satisfied of its merits in both protecting and properly airifying the body, and especially do I recommend it as being well calculated for persons predisposed to a rheumatic diathesis and a general weakened condition of the nervous system, thereby greatly preventing liability in contracting colds. I also recommend it as a good general underwear because of its absorbing powers. I am, respectfully yours, S. A. CONKLING, M. D. GEO. K. FRANKS, M. D. Burton, W. Va., Feb. 13, 1888. J. Jaros, Esq.I have been wearing this winter the fleece-lined underwear of your manufacture. As a protection in extreme cold weather, especially for physicians in the country who have often to get out of a warm bed and ride several miles in the coldest weather, it has no equal. I have tried silk, as also the best of ordinary flannels, but they fall far short of the Jaros Underwear. It has always been my misfortune. I was easily affected by cold, viz: easy to take cold. Since wearing the Jaros Hygienic Underwear I have not had a single cold. For the underwear I claim as much a specific in rheumatism as quinine in intermittent. Since wearing your goods I have never had a single attack, while before I have not passed a winter without experiencing several severe attacks in the last twenty years. Respectfully yours, George K. Franks. U. S. NAVY.—Pay Inspector Department, U. S. Naval Academy. Annapolis, Md., Feb. 23, 1889. Gentlemen:—I cannot refrain from expressing to you the great satisfaction and enjoyment I have received from the use of your Jaros Hygienic Underwear during the past winter. I have been almost free from rheumatic pains, from which I have heretofore suffered greatly, and also enjoyed an exception from severe colds, which is a very unusual luxury with me in the winter season; all of which I must attribute to the protection afforded by my Hygienics. I am also gratified to find that with the proper care in washing there is no perceptible shrinkage. In short, in every way, I find them the most desirable article I have ever seen for the object to be attained. I shall be so loth to part with them that I hope you will manufacture a lighter grade for summer wear. You are at liberty to make any use you may see fit of my testimony. Very truly yours, THOS. T. CASWELL, FROM RT. REV. BISHOP CHENEY. CHAS. EDW. CHENEY. Rector's Study, Christ Church, 2409 Michigan Avenue, } Dear Sir:—I take pleasure in saying, that by the advice of my physician, I obtained from you two suits of "Jaros Hygienic Wear." I commenced wearing the same two weeks ago Saturday last. Up to that time I had been a sufferer from a torturing rheumatic pain in my right shoulder, which persisted in waking me about 4 o'clock every morning, and which medicines seemed to relieve only temporarily. From the hour that I commenced the use of your Underwear, I have never had the slightest twinging of this pain. I feel under personal obligations to you for the relief which I have experienced. Very truly yours, Chas. Edw. Cheney. W. C. DAVIS, M. D., cor. W. Washington Street and Belmont Avenue. West Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 14, 1888. J. Jaros, Chicago, Ill. My Dear Sir:—I have prescribed your Underwear for the use of patients with chronic rheumatism, and always with very satisfactory results. It is also most excellent in the case of persons whose flesh is easily irritated by the ordinary flannel underwear, being soft and light as it is warm. Respectfully, W. C. Davis. F. H. VAN LIEW, M. D. Hinsdale, Ill., May 24, 1887. Mr. J. Jaros. Dear Sir:—There has been a want in the truly hygienic features in the undergarments so generally offered, which has in many cases added obstacles in the treatment of certain diseases. I feel satisfied that the "Jaros Hygienic Wear" possesses the great essentials in clothing, maintaining an even temperature over the entire body and transmitting moisture in the manner peculiarly claimed for your material. The effect on such patients as I have prescribed it is satisfactory indeed, and the experience on my own person in a case of Articular Rheumatism of long standing, is truly marked. The condition of my body for the last two winters, during which I have used the "Wear," was a feeling of comfort and relief from pain, formerly caused by every change of temperature. For Rheumatism and Catarrhal patients I am free to say this is a valuable adjunct to our means of treating same. Yours very truly, F. H. VAN LIEW, M. D. JOHN H. PAGE, Major 11th Infantry, U. S. A. Chicago, Ill. Fort Yates, Dak., Aug. 18, 1886. Mr. J. Jaros, Dear Sir:—I am personally delighted, with your underwear, and shall use no other. Was free from rheumatic pains last winter, and I attribute it to the healthy condition of my skin from the use of your clothing. Very respectfully, John H. Page. Physician's—Gen'l Value. We refer, with permission, as to the Scientific Principles and Hygienic merits of the Jaros Hygienic Wear. To H. A. JOHNSON, M. D., LL. D., Emeritus Professor, Chicago Medical College, and N. S. DAVIS, Jr., A. M., M. D., Adj. Prof. Practice Principles of Medicine, Chicago Medical College. OSCAR, C. DeWOLF, A. M., M. D., Prof. Hygiene, Chicago Medical College, Commissioner of Health. City of Chicago Department of Health, } I have been wearing during the past cold the Jaros Hygienic underwear. I have never worn underclothing which gave me so much satisfaction. The garments are light, warm and delightfully soft, and if properly washed retain their fleecy wool surface. Oscar C. DeWolf, A. M., M. D. MARY HARRIS THOMPSON, M. D., Clinical Prof. of Obstetrics and GynÆcology, Women's Med. College, 26 Central Music Hall, Mr. J. Jaros. Dear Sir:—The "Jaros Hygienic Wear" is unsurpassed in its purpose of retaining an equable temperature and moisture of the surface of the body, thus preventing an undue and sudden chilling, thereby inducing catarrhs of the mucus membranes, conditions so common in this latitude. Its economy and therapeutic value is apparent. Respectfully, Mary Harris Thompson, M. D. ROBERT H. BABCOCK, M. D., No. 70 Monroe Street, Room 29. Chicago, Feb. 10, 1887. Mr. Jaros. Dear Sir:—I am sincere in expressing a favorable opinion of the "Jaros Hygienic Wear" so far as my experience allows me to judge. The patients to whom I have recommended it are of delicate health, very susceptible to cold. They uniformly expressed themselves as pleased with the garments made for them by you, and as having suffered far less from the cold this winter than usual: a result which they attribute directly to the power of the underclothing to prevent sudden chilling of the body upon transition from a high to a low temperature. Personally, I have worn the underclothing all winter, and believe my unwonted freedom from attacks of bronchitis due to the efficient protection afforded by the underwear. Your cloth seems to me to be a better non-conductor than other woolen materials, and therefore particularly suitable to persons with heart or lung disease. I am, very truly yours, Robert H. Babcock, M. D. PLYMMON S. HAYES, M. D., Prof. GynÆcology, Chicago Polyclinic. Chicago, Aug. 11, 1886. Mr. J. Jaros. Dear Sir:—I have found all the indications of a truly Hygienic Wear in your underclothing, and certainly consider it the ideal wear for this climate. Yours truly, Plymmon S. Hayes, M. D. We further refer, with permission, as to the therapeutic and prophylactic value of the Jaros Hygienic Wear, to the following medical gentlemen: S. SMITH, M.

Dear Sir:—In regard to your goods I am very glad to state their worth. They have proven more efficient than any other wear in the actions for which truly hygienic wear is sought, and therefore I cheerfully recommend it to my patients. It laundries beautifully without shrinking. Sincerely yours, L. J. Kellogg, M. D. H. TYLER WILCOX, M. D., Cor. Garrison Avenue and Gamble Streets. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 31, 1887. Mr. J. Jaros. Dear Sir:—With reference to the use of your "Hygienic Wear" I would say that I am greatly pleased with it. All my patients have been benefited from its use, and are delighted, some saying they would not part therewith for double the cost. In debilitated Nervous Troubles, Kidney, and especially Lung Complaints, it is a therapeutic agent, almost indispensable in this and all northern climates. Respectfully, H. Tyler Wilson, M. D. D. W. BLISS, M. D., 621 Thirteenth Street, N. W., Attending Surgeon on late President Garfield. Washington, D. C., Oct. 30, 1887. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co.

Very respectfully yours, D. W. Bliss. J. H. THOMPSON, M. D., 204 Wisconsin Street. Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 29, 1887. Mr. J.

J. H. Thompson, M. D. P. M. LUSSON, M. D. San Jose, Cal., Feb. 6, 1887. Mr. J. Jaros, Chicago: Dear Sir:—I am pleased to state that the "Jaros Hygienic Wear" has proven the nicest wear worn or prescribed by me, and have found them of great value in treatment of delicate patients. By a more general use many people would recover health or prolong life. Respectfully yours, P. M. Lusson, M. D. WM. H. HAWKES, M. D., 1330 New York Avenue. Washington, D. C., Feb. 5, 1887. Mr. J. Jaros, Chicago; Dear Sir:—There is indeed need of undergarments as you manufacture in a climate so variable. I am satisfied with the hygienic principles underlying them, and have been pleased in prescribing them. Shall be glad to know that the wear is procurable in Washington. Very truly yours, Wm. H. Hawkes, M. D. J. F. JENKINS, M. D. Tecumseh, Mich., Aug. 28, 1887. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co.Gentlemen:—During the winter of 1886 I had the pleasure of testing your underwear on my own person. I found your "Wear" comfortably efficacious throughout the various changes of a severe winter, and in every way it justifies the representations made by you. I shall not hesitate to recommend the "Wear" to my patients where it is indicated. Yours truly, J. F. Jenkins. F. A. DUNSMOOR, M. D., Minneapolis, Dec. 7, 1887. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co. I cheerfully certify to the use and prescription of your Hygienic Underwear. It is the most agreeable and warmest underclothing I ever tried. I am satisfied that in theory and practice it is the best Wear on the market for our climate. Truly yours, F. A. Dunsmoor. E. L. TOWNSEND, D. D. S., Secretary, Southern California Odontological Society, 237 S. Spring street. Los Angeles, Jan. 29, 1888. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen:—The goods purchased of you have given perfect satisfaction, and I have not failed to recommend the underwear to my patients and friends. The climate here is such that makes your goods almost a necessity, and when properly introduced, I think no invalid will consider himself well clothed without a suit of the Jaros Hygienic Underwear. I am, yours truly, E. L. Townsend. A. J. AUTEN, M. D., corner of Wabash and 3d Streets, St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 1888. Mr. Jaros.Dear Sir:—The Jaros Hygienic Wear meets with my most hearty approbation. It is an ideal of perfection in every respect. Respectfully, A. J. Auten. CLARA BLISS HINDS, M. D., 607 Thirteenth street, N. W. Washington, D. C., Feb. 1888. My Dear Sir:—My attention was called to your Hygienic Underwear during the session of the International Medical Congress in our city last September. Being then in search of underwear, which combined the requisite of warmth, lightness and durability, I determined to try yours, hoping to find an article which I could with confidence recommend. I take pleasure in saying that after wearing the garments four months I find them all I had hoped, and even more. I have recommended them in several cases of uterine trouble, as well as for delicate children, and without an exception the patient improved, which, as other conditions were equal, I know was due to the underwear. Maintaining an even warmth over the entire surface of the body the circulation is improved, the various organs respond, and a general improvement in the patient is the result. I unhesitatingly recommend the Underwear, and earnestly hope that many physicians may try it in chronic uterine troubles, and in the wasting diseases of childhood, as I feel great good to suffering humanity will come through this agency. Respectfully, Clara Bliss Hinds. Reports—Gen'l Value O. M. VAUGHAN, M. D. Covert, Mich., Jan. 27, 1888. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill.Dear Sir:—The Underwear that I purchased of you has proved entirely satisfactory. I find it just the thing in this climate where sudden changes in the temperature are almost a daily occurrence. I seldom wear an overcoat except when riding. Indoors I only wear a light summer coat. The Underwear keeps one warm. Very respectfully, O. M. Vaughan. H. A. HAMILTON, M. D. Perrysburg, Ohio, Feb. 21, 1888. Mr. J. Jaros.Dear Sir:—In every instance in which I have recommended the Jaros Hygienic Underwear it has been highly satisfactory, answering all the indications claimed for it. Respectfully, H. A. Hamilton. CASPER BARSTOW, M. D. East Hartford, Conn., Jan. 26, 1888. Mr. Jaros.Dear Sir:—After wearing the Jaros Hygienic Wear thus far during the winter, I take pleasure in speaking of its merits. I consider it the best kind of underwear ever made. Never having been able to wear any kind of woolen underwear before on account of the irritation it produced, I was made glad when I found that the Jaros Hygienic Wear did nothing of the kind. The principles of the goods is one of the best. I experience no chilly feeling now when going from a heated room and into the cold wind, as I always did with any other underwear. The fitting of the garment is another great feature, it being the same after repeated washing, so unlike any other woolen garments. Respectfully yours, Casper Barstow. ROBT. STEVENSON & CO., 92 and 94 Lake Street. Chicago, Dec. 1st, 1886 J. Jaros, Esq. Dear Sir:—Two years ago I was prostrated by intercostal neuralgia. My physician—Dr. W. H. Denslow Lewis, of Hyde Park—prescribed your underwear, which I have worn ever since, both summer and winter. They afford me great comfort, and have thus far warded off all neuralgic symptoms, although my duties compel me to sit in a draft much of the time. Sincerely yours, I. Giles Lewis. H. M. BINGHAM, M. D., 170 Juneau Ave. Milwaukee, Dec. 31, 1887. Jaros Hygienic Underwear. Co., Chicago, Ill.Gents:—In two cases of chronic disease I have seen a very good effect from the Jaros Underwear, and I am in the habit of recommending this wear to all my patients, and in lectures to students. H. M. Bingham. GEO. HOMAN, M. D., Prof. Hygiene, Surgeon Police Department, St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo., Jan'y 20, 1888. J. Jaros, Esq., Chicago, Ill.Dear Sir:—I am enabled by personal experience to testify to the comfort derived from the use of your Wear during the cold weather, and that the anticipated objection occurring to me before trial, namely, that the unmixed wool in contact with the skin might prove uncomfortable, has not appeared. In softness and warmth I have never worn any fabric that equals it, while my original impression at first sight in regard to the scientific construction of the principals upon which it is based, has been strengthened by experience. Very truly yours, Geo. Homan. R. HARVEY REED, M. D., Surgeon Chief, Baltimore & Ohio R. R. Co., Secretary State Sanitary Association, Ohio.; Treasurer National Association Railway Surgeons. Mansfield, O., March 9, 1888. Mr. J. Jaros, Chicago, Ill.Dear Sir:—From personal experience I find your Underwear the most comfortable and the best safeguard from taking cold of anything of the kind I have ever seen. I have no hesitancy whatever in heartily seconding it for Railroad employees, Police and Fire Departments, as especially well suited for their use, or any person exposed to the sudden changes of the weather in our climate. Yours very truly, R. Harvey Reed, M. D. J. E. HARRIS, M. D. Auxvasse, Mo., Feb. 5, 1889. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen;—It gives me great pleasure to say that after having tried your wear I find it affords an admirable protection from cold, and so far as preserving the warmth of the body is concerned, I regard it useful as a prophylactic and therapeutic agent. Yours truly, J. E. HARRIS, M. D. JAMES COLLINS, M. D., 704 Franklin Street. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 5, 1889. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co. Gentlemen;—It affords me pleasure to state that I have found your underwear elastic, pleasant and durable. Especially is this wear indicated where there is a disposition to active perspiration, as the peculiar arrangement of the fibres of the wool prevents the surface of the body from continuing damp and sticky. Yours truly, JAMES COLLINS, M. D. FRANK B. GOLLEY, M. D., 116 Grand Avenue. Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 31, 1889. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen;—The underwear purchased of you for use in my family has been a source of great comfort. The usual so called cold taking and chilliness incident to our changeable climate has, I am glad to say, failed to appear since your goods were used. Shall recommend them wherever opportunity affords. Respectfully, F. B. GOLLEY, M. D. F. B. KELLOGG, M. D. New Haven, Conn., Mar. 25, 1886. I have tried the Jaros Hygienic Wear in my practice and consider it superior to anything I have seen for maintaining the surface of the body at an equable temperature. It is a safeguard against sudden chills, and hence of great service to sensitive temperaments in a changeable climate. Yours truly, F. B. KELLOGG, M. D. G. E. ABBOTT, M. D. Bryn Mawr, Pa., Feb'y 13, '89. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago Ill.Dear Sir:—After careful personal examination, I do not hesitate to recommend your wear. It fulfills the demands of Hygiene and of comfort. I have found it of great service as a therapeutic agent in cases in which there is want of nervous or vascular tone—prevalent complaints in this climate. Also in chronic diseases and general enfeeblement when it is essential that the peculiar susceptabilities to changeable climatic conditions should be guarded against. Yours truly, G. E. ABBOTT, M. D. S. D. KENNEDY, M. D. Annapolis, Md., July 15th, 1890. Mr. I. Jaros. Your communication of July 1st received. In three cases in which I have had occasion to note the use of the "Hygienic Underwear," it seems to have accomplished all that is claimed for it as a remedial agent. Very respectfully, S. D. Kennedy. ASA HORR, M. D., 1131 Main Street. Dubuque, Iowa, May 19th, 1890. To Mr. I. Jaros, Chicago, Ill.Your underwear has been prescribed by me in a number of cases in which I considered proper protection important. In rheumatic cases I have found it of special benefit, as also in pulmonary and kidney affections. My decided conviction is that its use will prove materially advantageous in connection with other treatment in such cases. The body is thereby protected from sudden chilling under climatic changes, and that is most important. I shall take pleasure in continuing to prescribe your "Hygienic Underwear," and hope your further endeavors will meet with the success it deserves. Yours very truly, Asa Horr, M. D. H. D. DIDAMA, M.D., LL. D., Dean of the College of Medicine, Syracuse University. Syracuse, July 3d, '90. Dear Mr. Jaros.I have commended your Hygienic Wear because I regard it as the best in the market. It is specially useful for asthmatics, and for those who suffer from bronchial catarrh, because it protects from sudden and often disastrous changes of atmospheric temperature. And then it is so unirritating and comfortable and delightful to the wearer. Yours truly, H. D. Didama, M.D., LL.D. A. L. TALMAGE, M. D., 8 Park Street. New Haven, Conn., 4-20-89. Gentlemen:—The Jaros Hygienic Underwear gives me entire satisfaction, and I cheerfully recommend it. Respectfully. A. L. TALMAGE, M. D. J. H. TILDEN. M. D. Wichita, Kan., Feb. 6, 1889. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen;—Your Hygienic wear is all you represent it to be. Those for whom I ordered suits are well pleased, and say they will not dispense with same, and signify their intention of ordering again when they need. It is a therapeutic and prophylactic agent, and every one ought to know of your wear, and wear it. Respectfully, J. H. TILDEN, M. D. DR. A. CRAWFORD. Miles, Iowa, Feb'y 2,1889. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill.Gentlemen:—I have this to say about your wear. It has been tested both by myself and a number of my patients, for over two years, and always with the most satisfactory results. The durability of these goods is beyond my expectations. I do not expect to wear any other, nor change in my recommendations while these are on the market. Respectfully yours, A. CRAWFORD, M. D. JOHN W. FLICK, M. D. Honeoye Falls, N. Y., Feb'y 1889. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago, Ill.Dear Sirs:—While I do not believe in the practice of recommending to others everything or anything you like yourself, I must make an exception to the rule in the case of your Hygienic Underwear. For years I have had difficulty in finding the right quality of underwear for myself, always trying my best to secure the best in the market, but oftener disappointed than pleased. The goods of your manufacture please me in every respect, and all to whom I have recommended them speak in the highest terms of them. There is no doubt in my mind but that many of our winter diseases and ailments could be avoided, and others easier cured, by the use of these undergarments. You have my best wishes for success. Truly yours, J. W. FLICK, M.D. E. L. R. THOMSON, 1162 Chapel St. New Haven, Ct., April 18, 1889. Gentlemen:—Permit me to add a word to the many which you have undoubtedly already received in favor of the Jaros Hygienic Underwear. I have worn them for two winters and one summer and am happy to express myself as perfectly satisfied with them, for I find they more fully meet my requirements than any other underwear now upon the market. It is enough for me to say that my experience with them has proven conclusively to me that they possess all the properties ascribed to them by the makers. Yours very truly, E. L. R. Thomson. J. F. MERRY, General Western Passenger Agent, Illinois Central Ry. Manchester, Ia., Oct. 6, 1888. Jaros Hygienic Underwear Co., Chicago.Gentlemen:—I am not in the habit of giving testimonials, and as a rule am opposed to any thing of the kind, but after suffering from rheumatism and kindred diseases for several winters, I was persuaded by a friend to try Hygienic Underwear, and I am compelled to say that from the time I began using them last November until spring I did not have a touch nor a single chill during the entire winter, and I am confident that it was attributable to the use of your Underwear, and I have not hesitated to recommend them at every opportunity. Yours truly, J. F. Merry, In a letter to a friend, Mr. Merry wrote at the time of receiving the Underwear as follows. Manchester, Ia., Dec. 1, 1886. Going home yesterday to dinner, I found awaiting me a suit of underwear, and I was not very long in putting myself inside of them, but with no idea that I could wear them, having tried almost everything that contained wool, but never having found a garment I could wear next to my skin containing a particle of wool. I have worn the suit for two days without an unpleasant sensation; on the contrary, they are delightful, and just what I needed. Please have the following order filled for me. Yours truly, J. F. Merry. GEO. P. CARPENTER, M.D. Cedar Rapids, Ia., May 20, 1890. I have examined the Jaros Hygienic Underwear, and consider it the most perfect protection from severe cold and changes in temperature that I ever saw. Especially will this underwear be useful for those afflicted with rheumatism, lung troubles, or a dry condition of the skin. If the actual use of these goods substantiates the theory I have formed, they will be a valuable aid in the treatment of diseases, as well as to the comfort of the wearers. Respectfully, Geo. P. Carpenter, M.D. To I. Jaros. Among others we refer also to the following medical gentlemen regarding the Therapeutic and Prophylactic value: Dr. Adair, J. W., Massilon, Ohio, |
