 ING CHAIR.

FOR NO.N.Q.ND HIGH SCHOOLS. NHE following description was furnished A bV one of our most eminent physicians who has taken lively interest in thtyprngress ot schools. He says the advantages of this Chair arp--
 lst That it gives an easy a sd firm support to the muscles et the back, SO uniform and agreeable that the posture of sitting neser be- comes painful, even though continued longer than is ever required in school
 2d. It thus effecually prevents that unequal ! and irregular action of the muscles on either sid. oi ih spine, which in delicate children is likely to result from the habit of sitting uuon bench or stool without a back, and which has often produced in such children curva- ture of the spine and other deformities
 Sd, Its rotary motion affords oppottunity for that kind and degree of exercise, even i'm the sitting posture. which is saluiay part of a physical education.
 The subscriber has on hand constant srn. ply of the above named Chairs, aud is prepar. ed to fill all orders al short notice. School Societies furnishing new Houses, are requested to call and examine the Chairs beE.re subs,j- tuing any thiag else There are five sizes, Height of seat 10, l2, l4, l6 and " i.2 inches.
