Doctor VS., Ladies'.

Tho first number of the Philadelphia Monthly
Journal of Medical Science edited by N. r. Smith.
NJ d., Professor of Anatomy, contains an article
from the pen of the editor "On the Injuries result.
ing from the confinement of the Chest by Dress"
founded on the case of young female who was
brought into the anatomical Hall of Jefferson Col
lege for dissection
She had died of pulmonary consumption, "one
OF the greatest predisposing causes of which we
know (says the doctor) to be confined chest; and
it cannot be doubted that the fatal disease in this in
stance had been aggravated and might have been
provoked by the habit of dress" Omitting his
description of the appearances presented by this
instance of artificial INSTRUMENTATION (rather too
technical to be comprehended by the general read
er,) we give few extracts from the article, which
we are apprehensive will be more generally I'M
derstood than regarded by those for whose benefit
they are designed.
1t is a fact, although perhaps not generally OBJ
served, that in females, by peculiarly of mechan-
ism the whole structure of the chest is more elias
tic and mobile, and that the free motions of the
chest IN relation to the function of respiration are
more important than they are in males
From this observation it A~--S thai az article
of dress which constructs in any considerable de-
gree, the chest, must be infinitely more productive
of mischief than to males. Females are exceeding
ly ncredulous in regard to the injuries resulting
from Incarceration Of the chest, because the cor
set after having been worn for a considerable time,
not only ceases to give any sensible inconvenience,
but seems necessary to their comfort as support
to the body. This, however, only renders the
mischief insidiouS
We very well know that by haBitthe bodvmay
be so Injured to almost any restraint as to become
unconscious of its presence; but lift be persevered
IN the injurious effects sooner or later result All
admit that the corset, when first worn causes much
uneasness, and young girls are often very refrac-
tory IN regard to this part of their physical educa-
ton
The injuries which result to the constitution
from long continued compression of thorax are
manifold Not only are the motions of the chest
restrained, but the capacity of the lungs for air is
encroached upon--the blood circulating through
these organs, is retarded and its change, effected
by the atmosphere, ceases to be complete The
lungs become engorged are thus provoked to dis
n ease With us the disease which will most fire..
quently be developed or originally caused is tu
berculous consumption. With infammatory af
fections of the lungs diseases of the heart and cir
culatory organs also in the train of its effects
1t has been ascertained by experiments that the
alternate expansion and collapse of the chest are
almost as necessary to free circulation of the
blood as to healthy respiration. The mechanical
: pressure operates Immediately upon the heart, re
strainng its natural expansion for the reception o
9 blood.

Facts.-A Call to Effort.

In looking over the statistics furnished to the
Am. TEN. Union by the Hon VIM Slade, our
Representative in Congress, we were struck, for
the hundredth time, with the vastness of the
work which the Temperance reformers undertook
Even so late as the year lS40 after the great i'm
provement that had been effected in the habits of
our naon by the exertions put forth for that end,
it appears that the number of gallons of distilled
spirits consumed in the United States was FORTY
three milIions,-of wine and brewed intoxicating
drinks, tlcenty-eigM millions making an aggre-
gate of seUenty-One million gallons consumed in
that year. The work of distillng and making
this aggregate employed taoelce thousand persons,
and capital of nine millions of dollars To at
tempt distinct or adequate conception ofso mighty
an fundamentally, is like endeavoring to conceive
the distances from the planets to the sun,-and
more, to aim at comprehending the immensely Of
misery and moral mischief flowing from it, is like
trying to embrace in one view the vastness of the
whole visible universe If we diminish the scale
of our conceptions from the entire Union to oul
own State, we shall probably find, in Vernon
alone, enough to employ our full powers of i'm
imagination, of rehection-yes, and of feeling also
Ofthe aforementioned aggregate the consump
ton of Vermont may have been, in round mum
bers, one million Of gallons This has been enough
TO paralyze most injurously, the sinewy arms o
all her laborious arts and occupations, and to bur
den her with her proportionate Gordon of drunk
ards -which may have been eight thousand 0
the five hundred thousand that did exist in the I'm
ion, but which it is supposed IA wonderful, ye
credible estimate,) that say seventy thousand hav
have been redeemed. We repeat it-eight thou
sand drunkards as nearly as can be estimated WA
about the proportionate quota supplied by Vernon
to the host ofdrunkards in the year already men
toned. Let this be made standard to estimate
in a very general way-which is all that subject
ofthis nature admit of-the extent of damage t
our State, in one year, from intoxicating drinks
Ifany one, then, would learn the damage in a civ
il and political view, let him consider the value
one sober prudent citizen,-multiply this by 5000
and set down the product as loss: or to learn tn
damage in a social way, let him fix the estimate

husbands and fathers usually are, multiply this b

A Beautiful Passage.

Intellect is an enchanter, Long years after be-
loved friends are entombed, the wand of memory
waves over the chill vault of the sepulchre and
the dead start into life pale, petrifed passionless
as the seraphs their sweet faces beam again upon
us. The fragrance of their spirit breath stir in
our time bleached locks; their thrilling kisses are
again on our lips. With their spirits our spirits
minge in better fraternity of feeling than ever
bound us before We invest them with that trans
cendant beauty they are now loveer than the
beings of the world their bosoms throb upon ours
with better sympathy; their eyes look deep into
ours with exceeding love. Strange intellectual
power What contact of spirits with spirits
What reunion between the severed Can it be
possible that in this spirit dialogue. but one spirit
