use proper diet, both as to kind aud qtiau-

or to pross heavily on any ono part Of tho
female form; the former, in particular, must
keep up an unnatural stretch of those mus
s cles which move the arms and shoulders
forward, and, Of course, must replace that
plumpness of the upper part Of the chest,
J which is indispensable to elegance of shape
. while it forces, at the Same time, the breast
to protrude below, and pross inward above,
impending the FREQ play Of the lungs, taint-
ing the breath, and leading directly to con-
sumption. In the second place, it must

u muscles rapidly diminish in size and strength
and, when the braces are laid aside, the
