The following notice Of DR. Banning appeared in one
of the Savannah Papers, where that gentleman Is at
present engaged in leciuring & -, .., =. of
Women and Children, has been attracting much atten-
ton for two weeks past by the development of novel
theory and treatment of chronic weakness in general
His doctrine is, that the internal organs all 10 be
kept continuously supported from below upwards by the
active abdominal muscles, and that relaxed state OF
them will induce general falling descent Throughout
the trunk the natural relations aud ofcourse
inducing compression parts below, and dragging
on parts above He seems to demonstrate that this state
will mechanically induce weakness OF the lower ex-
tremtes, the common weakness of the back and abdo-
also of the stomach and chest presenting Pulmo-
nary digeston,-spina and female weakness in a new
and hopeful light and explaining why medicine
has so seldom relieved them His practical inference
is that mechanical support TO the small oil the back
which draws back the shoulders and which lifts the
weaker series of organs to their proper position IS the
appropli tie remedy.


Through the poteness of the medical profession he
has made numerous applications Of his Body Brace 1.-THE
counterpart of his coctrine of vocal and pull
monary weakness, bot particularly to spinal dyspeptc
weakness, with general and in surprising
success, We have the means ol knowing that some
who had dspaired Of recovering their power TO move
about. to eat and drink what others do, to sing and

ticuar maades. Apart from instances in this city,
have been Shown letters from pulmonic, dyspePtc and
spinal PATIENTS which express the deepest gratitude for
benefits received. In case Of miserable distortion
the patient states her chest enlarged and her height
creased one inch 10 the space OF few weeks and that
her improvement is astonishing And another from the
missionaries of the Sandwich Islands, speaking Of
markable benefits, and the restoration of to their
duties and enjnymcnts The Professors doctrine adj
dresses itself to the common understanding, and we, in
connection with many eminent members OF the medical
profession, believe its practical adapon will be attend
ed with happy results in the treatment Of chronic di
seases, and consider the city fortunate which
visit from him. His work entitled " common sense,

should be extensively read by the community. -...
