A half-hour's work each day Is enough

Which brings us to the diaphragm.
BY what supreme stupidity women
formed the custom of keeping the
diaphragm confined and paralyZed,
do not know. The corset is a very old
custom. Doubtless 1t arose from the
legitimate need of some support for
waist-muscles relaxed by childbirth.
There it's usefulness ends.
