PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or Connected with Corsets or other Articles of
Wearing Apparel having Steel or Iron Plates.
I, DANIEL HONE of Wycliffe House, Sydney Road, Hornsey in the County of
Middlesex, Warehouseman do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
It is a well known fact that magnetism when applied in a weak, gentle, and con-
tinuous manner, is in many cases very heneficial to the human body, now the object
of my invention is to manufacture busks for corsets and side steels, as well as stocking
suspenders and other such like articles, in such manner that they are caused to act as
curative agents.
For this purpose I make the aforesaid articles of hammered steel instead of iron as
heretofore and when so manufactured the articles themselves are magnetized, whereby
corset busks, side steels and the metal part of stocking suspenders and such like
articles when used as such, also act as curative mediums generally through the action
of the magnetism on the body of the wearer.
Busks, side steels and stocking suspenders thus manufactured are covered with
material in the ordinary way and they are applied as such articles now usually are in
the various manufactures to which they are applicable.

what manner the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement :-
It is a well known fact that magnetism when applied in a gentle, and continuous
manner, is in many cases very beneficial to the human body, now the object of my
invention is to manufacture busks for corsets and side steels, as well as stocking
suspenders and other such like articles, in such manner that they are caused to act as
curative agents.
For this purpose I make the aforesaid articles of hammered steel instead of iron
as heretofore and when so manufactured the articles themselves are magnetized,
whereby corset busks, side steels and the metal part of stocking suspenders and such
like articles when used as such also act as curative mediums generally through the
action of the magnetism on the body of the wearer.
Busks, side steels and stocking suspenders thus manufactured are covered with
material in the ordinary way and they are applied as such articles now usually are in
the various manufactures to which they are applicable.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is :
In busks and side steels for corsets, the metal portion of stocking suspenders and
other such like articles, the manufacture thereof of magnetized hammered steel sub-
stantially as and for the purposes set forth.
