TESTIMONIALS.

" I have much pleasure in stating that the stays invented
by Mrs. Geary will obviate all the inconveniences of those
commonly employed."—C. J. B. Aldis, M.D., Old Bur-
lington-street, March 6th, 1837.
" It appears to me that Mrs. Gearv's Stays are infinitely
superior to those in ordinary use."-11. C. Brodie.
I have examined the Stays invented by Mrs. Geary, and
think them admirably adapted to give salutary support to the
body, without that injurious pressure which renders ordinary
Stays so extremely prejudicial."—J. T. Conquest, M.D.
' It is in the complete Corset that the genius of Mrs.
Geary has had 11111 swing. The problem to be solved was
to support the figure, yet not to diminish freedom of
Motion, and to conceal the size of the abdomen when too
large."—Extracted from Dr. James Johnson's " Medico-
Chirurgical Review" for January, 1837.
" I have examined Mrs. Geary's improved Stays, and I
have no hesitation in saying, I think them infinitely superior
for the purpose of support to any in use. I consider the
Belt also, invented by the same lady, for pregnant females,
devised upon an exceedingly good principle."—Francis H.
Ramsbotham, M.D., New Broad-street, March 2, 1837.
" In Mrs. Geary's Corset for grown girls, the pressure on
every part of the chest is light, and by exerting no pressure
on the edges of the hip, it does not (by forcing those edges to
grow inward), diminish, during youth, the cavity of the
pelvis, or hazard the suffering which must attend that mal-
formation in mothers."—Extracted from Mr. Coulson's
work on " Deformities of the Chest and Spine," 2nd Edition.
" Mrs. Geary's Stays, of all kinds, present a new and ra-
tional principle in the construction of the most important por-
tions of dress. The formation of the bosom, and of all parts
adapted to prominences, is a matter of great ingenuity, and of
extraordinary beauty."—Extracted from " Female Beauty,"
by Mrs. A. 'Walker. " The Exercise Corset, invented by
Mrs. Geary, is absolutely nesessary in all exercises of the
arms, and especially in the Indian exercises, for which they
were constructed."—Extracted from " Exercises for Ladies,"
by Donald Walker, 2d Edition.
lam satisfied of the superiority of Mrs. Geary's Stays
and Belt for pregnant Ladies, and I shall make a point of
recommending them whenever I have an opportunity."—
James Eyre, M.D. 15, Lower Brook-street, March, 22, 1837.
" The Stays invented by Mrs. N. Geary, from the ingenu-
ity with which they are constructed, are eminently adapted
to allow of that ease and freedom of motion so essential to
elegance and health. They appear, therefore, likely to prove
far superior to the stays in common use, which contribute to
the production of much deformity and many serious diseases."
—G. F. D. Evans, M.D. 21, Hill-street, Berkley-square.
The following Medical Gentlemen are of opinion, that Mrs.
Geary's Stays, in consequence of the great improvements
they present—their capability of adaptation to every variety
of form—their removal of all unequal pressure by the re•
jection of gores and gussets—and the proper employment o
elastic materials, are deserving of the strongest recommen.
