Show Thomson's Glove Fitting Corset. Of the almve rnrhtt, which is advert ad-vert i-ed in the Herald, '.lie Buston AY. ;,,, t; f Octoh- r K.th, sayt the lulluwing: A eirt-t !i..s, at last, .-hnno on this nim temth century, combining many virtues. It is ordained to bequeath to distorted, weak, unhappy women the peaceful balm of health and comfort, while, at the same time, it flings down the gauntlet before captious reformers, who artrying to believe in flannel bags as graceful articles of idress, and warns them that hygiene ,is not, and never has been, abused by 'a properly constructed corset. Sci- ience, as well as art, has taught a lesson in this matter of corsets that ! every sensible and thoughtful woman is bound to heed. Dyspepsia and 'consumption can be aggravated by the compression of steel and whalebone, whale-bone, and either complaint, also, can ,be mitigated by such an article as is now manufactured by Thomson, Thom-son, Langdon fc Co., 3'Jl, Broadway, New York. Indeed, (Thomson's glove-fitting corset is warranted war-ranted to protect the wearer against a curving spino or a distorted liver; I for though a network of delicato i bones, it is as flexible as a gluve upon : the hand, and the whole body is un- trammelled in respiration. Aside from theso important consideration of health, it is "a thing ot beauty,' : giving ease and grace of movement, and showing the especial facilities of the dressmaker to the bery ' best advantage. If any doubts I have been assailing the feminine femi-nine mind concerning the expediency ex-pediency of "leaving ofl corsets, "they can be speedily put to flight by one trial of this world-famous corset; and a practical illustration of its merits is sure to prove the strongest argument argu-ment against the present war raging between shoulder-straps and whalo-bones. whalo-bones. As there are four different qualities, varying only in ele-igance ele-igance of decoration, this corsut comes within the means of all, and whether it is worn by the lady reclining among the cushions of her carriage, or the sewing girl bending over her work, it is a priceless means of bodily support and comfort. |
