for young ladies engaged in the useful anil i
modem pursuits of learning and accomplishments, mostly I
esteemed, by the simple regulations proper for their im- j

be done to realize the advantages desired.
Interests of concern to parents may be learned more pur- j

)r. Bannino: Kind Sir: The following extract from a let- I
was written by the undersigned to her brother, a prnc- t
ng physician in central New York. The writer is the c
eaved consort of a clergyman well known and much hinted,
and her testimony is entitled to the highest eontl- c
ice. She cheerfully oonsents to its publication, if, in
ir judgment, it may aid in commending your useful
ce to the patronage of those who would be most benefitby
its use.
Yours, respectfully,- R. J. S . r

)ear Brother : * * * A change, yes, a worderful
inge, has come over inc since I last wrote you. Oh! sny
i, what change 1 I will tell you. Would tlntt I could
ak in the ear of all my sex who are suffering as you
iw 1 have for years, I would tell thein to look up and be
a for ted. There is hope even for them ; yes, notwithrding
they may have "spentall their living on physicians
hout any benefit," but rather grew worse. Yes, brother,
re is relief for them.
>r. Banning's justly celebrated body brace is tho great
lacea. You are aware that I have used various otln r
iporU without much, if any, benefit. Well, what will
i say when 1 tell ytru 1 have been induced by a friend ol
nanity?one that, like yourself, delights to relievo his
fering fellow-creatures?to try one of Dr. Banning's braces
in experiment. 1 have worn it for some time, and can
v testify that language is wholly inadequate to express
relief 1 have received from it. That constnnt dull pain
I pulling sensation in my right side is wholly obviated
the use of the brace?likewise the pressing, bearing
rn of the abdomen is entirely relieved. That goneness,
eeling that the joints of the lower part of the spine were
e, is also entirely relieved. Likewise piles and con- v
it constipation ol the bowels are wholly obviated. You
I know how difficult it has been for me to walk any disco,
f >r years, on nccount of those complaints. Since 1 came
his city I have walked more than usual, and the con- ]
ueno.e lias frequently been inability to rise from my bed J
hours. Since I have worn the brace, I have been una- li
1 to walk iniles daily with slight incouvenienco I have 2

eved anything could have been deviled tlia' would or y
Id ho perfectly support the himia.ii body. But what shall
y of the effect on the mind?it is equally wonderful. Y ju t<
well aware of the morbid despondency from Which 1 n
e long sintered, often feeling that none had sorrows like
omine. K irlh seemed like a blank : not so now, thanks
a my Heavenly Father?hope lias arisen in my heart;
in now look withcahnncssnnd fortitude upon life's pas.strinb,
feeling that 1 have tnany, very many, blessings.
v, dear brother, I want you to recommend this most i
fill panacea to oil your patients afflicted I have been |
n confident it will do more good lor thetn than all your e
gs and nostrums. 1 sincerely pray thnt the choicest of v
ivou's blessings may rest upon the Inventor of tills won- ,
working instrument. What a consolation must it bo
iin to know lliut through his agency so large a class of t
erers have been relieved. * ? l(
