easily detected by an attentive observer.

protuberance of one or more of the small
bones composing the spine becomes evil
dent, loss Of appetite, irregularity of The
bowels, and enaeiation soon follow, toge-
Their with much Discrimination to walk
and unless immediate aid is obtained, death
or incurable decripitude through lite are
the certain consequences.
Doctor Hamilton has the satisfaction OF
knowing that his treatment OF this disease,
and application of the necessary apparatus,
which is simplifed at the same time, that
it is materially improved, have received
the unqualified appreciation OF many OF the
most eminent OF bis medical brethren in
Baltimore. Spring corsets, upon new
principle, can be applied for the use of
Young ladies evincing tendency to this
disease, which, while they afford the most
effectual support for either side, may be
worn without observation. Satisfactory re-
fcrences might be given to parents whose
children have prolited by this improved
