Corpulence : its Diminution and Cure.

The first edition of Dr. Harvey's pamphlet having
sold very rapidly, the learned author has been in-
duced to publish a second and revised issue to meet
the great demand that at present exists for the
work. The Doctor enters thoroughly into the
subject, and, after reciting the causes of corpulence,
says, "Women, unfortunately, are more subject to
it than men, and they especially should take care
to guard against embonpoint ; for it is not an un-
common occurrence to see the handsome, elegant

woman lose, little by little, in an exuberance of fat,
all the grace of person and ease of carriage for
which she was so much admired." No doubt the
matter has been the cause of deep regret to many
a fair one, but according to Dr. Harvey there is a
remedy, there is a cure withoutinjury to health. Then
follow chapters on the treatment of too great em-
bonpoint and upon the choice of food and drink for
the diminishment of fat. Liquid made-dishes, With
much gravy must be avoidad, so must large quan-
tities of fish, also certain vegetables—potatoes,
French beans, and peas more putieularly. Fruit
is forbidden, so likewise is all farinaceous food.
The learned author gives his reasons for everything
he advances, so that we may recommend the work
to all those suffering from the particulAr malady of
which it treats.
