COMMUNICATION.
PATENT CORSErTS.

Miss Belinda and Eugcnla Gravity have the
honor to announce that they have la'ely arrived
in this District with an extensive and elegant
assortment of double spring steel Corsetts
of their own invention and manufacture.
Having been lonored withthe patronage OF
the Empress of France, Princess Ro al OF
England, aud the Queens of the Prophet
Blue Jacket, and the Little Turtle, they hum
bly, hope to be favored with the commands Of
the Ladies of the United States.
For neatness in fitting, & elegance of work,
they arc proud to say, that their Corsetts stand
unrvalIed, although many valn attempts have
been made to initiate them.
1t has been extremely painful to their feel
ings to find that many ignorant fhysicians and
Others have pronounced Corsetts to be inyurj-
ous to the constitution, and that they have de-
stroyed the tiUes " many, which they know to
be incorrect, as they have certificates to prove
that by the use of their CoYsetts thousands of
the most delicate constitutions have been re-
stored to health in the most astonishing man
ner, as they possess similar powers and are
equally as efficaclous as Perkins Points
They Think their duty to assure their friends
that the story of the death of the young Lady
in Ne7V York in consequence of wearing Cor
sets, is without the smallest foundation, a
mere quiz, intended to impose on the public,
and iniure them in their business.
As counteFfeits are daily offered for sale,
none arc genuine but those that are marked
