TO EsEgsEClAES.
! The attention of the Medical Profession in Penn
IS respectfully invited to the following important
! facts
l. Not less than two thirds Of the AmeriGSae..-
r,a ara T~oInlsus Utcrl, and lis as
s0ciated complaints; the result OF natural delica
cy of organization defective physical education ;
early marriages the various accidents OF pregnnn
cy and labor and general neglect Of hygicnic nca
sures.
2 That as ProIapses Uteri is a displacement, or
falling of this organ, it necessarily involves
like descent, or Graggiag of the Heart, Lungs,
Stomach, and Bowels, and that fundamental
condition Of in all these cases, is the appHCa-
! ton of such a Physiological brace, supporter,
! as will most effectively Trace the weak back and
cith0Ut compression, assist the relGrca and overtaxed
muscles in performing their natural Office of lifting
and holding IN Leir piace, the dragging yscera OF
| the Chest and Abdomen from the depressed Uterus
The observation of every Physician and the eXten-
sive and increasing of abdominal supporters,
| $50 called) furnishes conclusive proof of this.
| 3. That the Supporters now in use never have
| received the approval of the profession, because,
| they all, in common, act heating and coafning
clamps, congresses, and relaxing po3Ltices creating
necessity for their perpetual use by restraining
| the freedom and exercise Of the muscles, which
they should only assist and also, dgyTavatiRg the
failing" and dragging by their crOscding and
pressing rather, than their bracing and elevating
tendency.
4. In view of the above facts, which every Ply
scian has been compelled to feel but too kecTy is
it not the duty, well the interest of the Pro
fession, to seek for instrument which acts upon
established principles of pathology and which is
once effective, and necessary TO the success of the
practitioner, and professional in its origin and de-
sign?
The undersigned, therefore, acting in accordance
with the interests of the Profession and after
much investigation aud outlay, now offers to them
an instrument which fully meets all the above in
dications. The Brace invented by Dr. Banning of
| y. Y, has alone received the appreciation of the
Profession or taken rank as q permanent contrbu-
| ton to Medical Science. While it supports the
| weak back and lifts up the abdominal viscera the
| undersigned, by combining il with recent inven-
tion has added greatly to its efficiency in erecting
the body and ezpaH9g the chest, and these instru-
ments believed TO fulfil eUery Indication that
| be derived from mechanical support, while acting
in complete harmony with the forces Of nature
