Dr. Banning Professor of Obstetrics and Diseases OF
Women and Children, has been attracting much aWen,


on for two weeks past by the development oil mover
theory and treatment of chronic weakness IN general
His doctrine s that the internal organs are all to be
kept continuously supported from below upwards oy 'n
active abdominal muscles and that relaxed state OF
them will induce general falling or descent throughout
the trunk breaking the natural relations and OF course
Inducing compression upon parts below. ana
will mechanically induce weakness Of the lower eA-
tremties the weakness OF the back ana aooo-
nary digeston,-spnal and female weakness Ia new
and more hopeful light and explaining why medicine
has seldom relieved them. His practical inference
is that mechanical support TO the small OF the back
which draws back the shoulders, and which Ats the
weaker series Of to their proper position is the
appropii.te remedy.


Through the poiiteness of the medical profession he
has made numerous applications Of his Body Brace he
Of his coctrne) cases Of vocal and pull
monary weakness, but particularly to spinal dysPePc
weakness, with general and in some cases surprsing
success We have the means OF knowing that scne
who had dspaired Of recovering their power to move
about to eat and drink what others do, or to sing and
preach have suddenly been surprised greatly ncreas

have been shown letters from pumonie, dysPePtc and

creased inch Ia the space OF few weeks and that
her improvement is astonishing And another from the
missionaries of the Sandwich Islands, speaking Of
markabe benefits, and the restoration of some to their
duties and enoyments. The Professors doctrine ad-

believe it's practical adoption will be attend

developing the whole subject IS highly interesting and

To DIR. E. P. Banning My Dear Sir: When
called you while in this city, in January last, told
you had been years much afflicted with Dyspep
sa, weakness of the back and breast, and most dis
tressng cough and difficulty Of bTeathine together with
great debility of the whole SYSTEM could got eat any
thing, without creating the most disagreeabe sensa


ons and at times suffered the deepest depression OF
spirits, which rendered me unfit Tor business OF enjoy
ment Of any kind. -l .I.'-.l -t-


You advised try of your Body Braces, which
had been often applied in similar by othes, with
great success did and found great relief even be-
fore you left the city, in few days after and how
happy to inform you that eat whatever please,
without any Inconvenience whatever; my cough has
nearly Left my back and breast pains entirely re-
moved my dyspepsa cured, and my general health is
improving; and am perfectly satised, that by perse-
vering little longer in the Of the Brace, shall
be restored sound health and spirits as
enjoyed. I do not think should be extravagant In
saying from the first TO the last, previously to the aP
pcaton Of the Brace, that had expended for various
remedies to heal my distressing and multiplied maades
at least thousand dollars without deriving any sens
BILE benefit from thcm whatever. The application OF
your invaluable Brace, aordng mechanical support
at the proper place, TO long afflicted aud debilitated
system, has accomplished the object and if could not
procure another to supply its place, the offer Of $1,000
would not induce me to part with it. ...t..g


Therefore act Of justice to public benefactor,
and for the benefit of the afflicted most cheeriully fur
nsh this testimonial in favor Of the great utility of the
Brace and especially for all persons who may be
similarly afflicted, as have been. . % ..s..


With great respect remain dear sir, your obt sev't
