the total rejection of all uneven pressure, may be worn by
the most delicate invalid, at the same time yielding a most
salutary support, snd producing a figure of such exquisite
symmetry, that, attempted by any other stay, would almost
amount to suffocation. To young ladies, and growing chil-

is during the first thirty years of female existence that the
ordinary stay produces its fatal consequences, and engenders
in the system a variety of frightful diseases, ninety-seven of
which are quoted at length, with their authorities, in "De-
fosecond rmities of the Chest and Spine," by W. Coulson, Es .•
