Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue and Price List

The Evil Effects upon health, due to the material and form of the ordinary clothing, were hardly suspected until Dr. Gustav Jaeger, of Stuttgart, began to publish the results of his investigation on the subject.

This distinguished German physician has established the fact that most bodily ills may be prevented or cured by the adoption of proper clothing; and he has constructed a system based on the principle of pure animal fibre for clothing and bedding. Hence, the "Dr. Jaeger Sanitary Woolen System." It affords to the body the greatest protection against Cold, Heat and Dampness, with the least obstruction to the body's exhalations. These conditions are instinctively felt to be better fulfilled by woolen than by linen or cotton fabrics. Hence, the very general use of flannel garments by athletes and by members of cricket, boating and other sporting clubs, who are called upon to engage in vigorous physical exercise likely to cause profuse perspiration. Dr. Jaeger reasons as follows: If the action of the skin be imperfect, fat and water accumulate in the tissues, the functional powers of which are lowered and weakened; the flesh, which should feel firm and elastic, becomes soft and flabby, resulting in a general derangement of the physical organization; and the evil effects on the body are experienced in the form of many disorders which are erroneously considered to be unavoidable, such as corpulence, asthma, pulmonary complaints, diseases of the digestive organs, gout, rheumatism, etc.

All fabrics manufactured from, or adulterated with, vegetable fibre (linen or cotton), are impervious to the body's exhalations, which are arrested and turned to water on the skin if underclothing and lining of such fibre come between the body and the outer atmosphere. Linen and cotton are, moreover, good conductors of heat, and thus, especially when damp, readily cause a chill, by too quickly carrying the heat away from the body. Further, dead vegetable fibre (as linen) has the same property that the living plant has, of absorbing noxious gases, but it cannot, like the plant, assimilate them.

In view, therefore, of the importance of maintaining a healthy action of the skin, not only for persons of active habits and pursuits, but especially for those engaged in sedentary occupations. Dr. Jaeger selects Animal wool as the proper substance for his "Sanitary Clothing," and rejects all linen and coton for underwear and for bedding, as obstructive of the natural processes of absorption and evaporation. The advantages afforded by this material seem obvious, as, when woven into tissues, wool possesses above all textile fabrics -

1. A peculiar power of absorption and transmission;

2. The properties of a non-conductor of heat - so essential to the preservation of an equable temperature of the body.

3. The property of promoting the elimination from the tissues of all excess of fat and water, thus making the flesh firm, and hardening and toughening the muscles.

As formerly woven, woolen fabrics were objectionable to many, because they irritated the skin and caused discomfort by preventing the proper escape of its exudations.
