attributes 10 the want of abdominal support, many
diseases and ailments which have heretofore been
assigned 10 other and far different causes, well
those in which such support has been admitted to be
essential, and he claims 10 have discovered in the Pa

which has yet been presented. It's completion has
cost him years of thought and labor and thousands of
dollars OF Expense, by reason of numerous expert
men is he was compelled to make before he could
bring it TO lis present state of perfection
DR.. Banning has lecured in many of the principal
towns in this and the adjoining States and experience
has in nnumernble instances clearly demonstrated
the truth Of his theory and the utility Of his Lace by
removing from beds of lanGushng and sickness. hun
dreds of persons aborng under chronic diseases which
had previously deed the utmost power OF the healing
art.
In the views Of Dr. Banning the undersigned fully

that he has been the of these instruments in his

that time he has een called to apply them in hume

Mr.. WEBER IL think much OF DR.. Banning's Ia
bors among US. They have done good. They have
walked up the public mind to think on the suber of
health And, until some better reasons ale given for
the "erect posture" which ne much urges us to
maintain, and which we have always been told was
essential, am satisfied with those set forth by him.
He leaves us with the warmes affections of gratitude
burning IN the busoms of those whom his visit will
cost the most IN pecunlary point Of view. For he
has afforded them re lef which they have sought in
VAN before And as the support which his Lace gives,
is acknowledged by all, TO be valuable in many cases
his coming among us is going to give a direction to
the enquiries of many, hereafter, in the efforts to as
certain the nature Of their diseases and the appropriate
remedy. And while he does not intimate that his
system is 10 supeIsede the use of medicine think he
makes 1t clear, that medicine is sometimes resorted
to, where the support and experience he recommends
are all that is wanting. His Lace is costly, it is true,
and the support is said may be furnished cheaper.
Very well. Let il be furnished. But look out and
not buy an made only ofron because it is cheaper.
1t may be dearer in the end 1t is evident his views
must go through the country, and they will have their
influence to bring into greater prominence, principles
and practices, hitherto too much neglected.
His views on Voice. Bronchitis, Consumption Sp-
nal Weakness, Dyspepsia Palpitaton of the Heart,
&c. are well worthy of being tested by facts and
they will be- And one way to test them is to try his
remedies. And II will be done. ! am glad the res
