theory and treatment of chronic weakness in general
His doctrine is that the internal organs all to be

active abdominal muscles and that relaxed state OF

inducing compression upon parts below, aud dragging
parts above He TO demonstrate that this state

RALEIGH, llth May, 1s47.
To DIR. E. p. Banning: My Dear Sir. When
called on you while in this city, in January last told
you that had been years afflicted with Dyspep-
STA, weakness Of the back and breast, and most dis
tressng cough and difficulty of breathing, together with
great debility of the whole system. could not eat any
thing without creating the most disagreeabe sensa-
tions and at times, suffered the deepest depression OF
spirits, which rendered me unfit for business OF enjoy
ment of any kind. ...- .-. :
You advised me to try of YOUR Body Braces, which
had been often applied in similar by otheIs, with
great success dd so and found great relief even be-
fore you left the city, in few days after and
am happy to inform you that eat whatever please,
without any Inconvenience whatever; my cough has
nearly left my back and breast pains entirely
moved my dyspepsia cured, and my general health is
ImProVing and am perfectly satisfied, that by perse
Venng little longer IN the use OF the Brace, shall
be restored to sound health and spirits
enjoyed. l do not think should be extravagant in
saying, from the frat to the last, previously the ap
plication of the Brace, that had expended for
remedies to heal distressing and multiplied mala6ies,
at least one thousand dollars without deriving sens
BILE benefit from them whatever. The application of
your invaluable Brace by aordng mechanical support
at the proper place, TO long afflicted and debtated
system has accomplished the object and if could
procure another to supply its place, the offer OF $1,000
would not induce me to part with it.
Therefore act of justice to public benefactor,
and for the benefit of the afflicted, cheeriully fur
nsh this testimonial in favor Of the great utility Of the
Brace. and especially for all persons who may be
similarly afflicted, as have Seen.
With great respect remain dear sir, your ob sev't
