Synopsis

Excerpt from Health Primers: Baths and Bathing

If the skin, say of the thumb, be looked at with a lens of moderate power, its surface is seen to be arranged in ridges and furrows, like a ploughed field and at frequent intervals along the ridges are little depressions, which are known as the pores of the skin. These pores are the Openings of the sweat ducts, and it is through these pores that the perspiration exudes. They are exceedingly numerous, and it has been calculated that there are as many as to every square inch of surface, or about seven millions of them altogether. The ridges are seen to be divided into a series of minute hillocks.
