Every condition mentioned above has been met by our
CONTRACTING BELT,
which is a perfect mould for the restoration of the figure. It is smooth, cool, elastic, and accomplishes every end which we had in view. The construction of this article has, perhaps, caused us more thought, care, and anxiety, than any invention which we have ever submitted to the public; but it is a consolation to feel that we have attained the most absolute success. Our belt has now been in extensive use for a long time, and the fact that it has won the patronage of the first medical authorities of the land, and been adopted by the highest personages of the empire, is a guarantee of its utility. It is indeed one of those boons for which mothers have long sighed.
