A beautiful bust by Mr.. Adams OF

itisremarkably interesting, showing, as

Nigel, done in green marble, which is
best known to the art public as the

Sitting Erect.

Very many persons, in taking seat,
use the edge of it only, with the result
that in very short time they seem to
be doubling up, the head bending for
ward over the chest The easiest meth
cd of sitting erect, and in a graceful po-
sition, is to occupy the chair in such
way that the lowest part of the spine
or backbone touches the back Of the
seat; then, by causing the shoulders
also to touch the back, the whole body is
erect and maintains itself, not only
without an effort, but with a feeling Of
support, relief and rest, and that, too,
without any appreciable effort. Any
position maintained by the aid of
brace is forced, and is secured by an in
jury done to some other part, which
not only has to support itself, but aid
in supporting parts not intended, hence
must in time itself need aid from other
sources, and thus the mischief goes on.

Ether Is preferred as an anesthetic IN
