which we extract the following:
In visiting educational, benevolent. and
rcivrmatory institutions, both III Europe
and America, one Of Tho sad1cst sights i
lave seen has been. in many of the first
schools for, young ladies' young: and grow,
ing ..irls ~, stihcned iup with corscts that
they could neither think clearly nor act
Naturally; and could scarcely t"rbe"r

dressing their pupils BEAUTIFULLY or at
| least give them some practical lessons III
physiology, beginning by clipping their
corsct-strin.a, and putting sh0uldcr-lnarts
or s,,sptnlers to thcirskirts. Fashion shonld
not be ,iisregarled by any means, but should
always be made surservient to common
sense, nature, comfort and heanty. Not
only headaches and back-aches, but how
many heart aches arise solely from a want
Of proper circulation of the blood? Death

pressing Che waistsa.s we'll rs atthe ,noci''
and although il is slower, it is more dclib-
eratc suicide Free circulation of the
blood is the primary principie'of life. y
Why ? The larger veins In tho human
body lie very near the surface, and any IN
due pressure upon them Immediately forces
the blood into the smaller and interior
veins, where, being gorged, congestion and
inflammation e,isue. and aggrvate numer-
GUS and fatal results. Pressure upon the
abdomen is equally pernicious ~ tight
lacing. The intestincs are forced from
their natural position, and, Us in the hui
man body there can he no vacuum the Ola
phraom is dragged down. and thcn-as tho

that though there is less sensibility
there is greater susceptibility in the interi.
or organs. Think, then, OF tho great and
