,able Instrument in the Comfy OF fortage.
This instrument, as its name suggests
desipned as remedy for various complaints
denendent on a weakened and relaxed s1ate Ga
If the Spinal and Abdominal muscles. Inc
vast number of cases of disease, depending
nr1marAy on such weakness, is wels hnowh
to the medical profession, to which an IN
strument that would correct these evils IN
satisfactory manner, and yet be tree rom
other disadvantages, has long been oeslo>
In the construction of this Instrument the
fact that almost every case Of uterine or ab-
6ominal weakness is more or less complica-
TOD with a disease or debilitated condition OF
the spinal column and its muscles, induced
the combination of the shoulderbrace with
the spinal and abdominal supports, thus ad'
mirably adapting the instrument to those
cases of spinal weakness, inclplent cu'va-
ture and distortion, whether brought on by
sedentary occupations, inducing continued

ii may be safely estimated that the expendi-
iure, within the last twenty-five years, in
lhe projection and construction ofraflroads
viii not fall short Of one thousand millions
Of dollars, and that their influence in fa-
cilitating business, in reducing the expen-
ses and time of travel, and in opening up
new regions of country. has given an in-
efeased value o. property of t,cace that

that within a month two hundred and eigh-
