 Fourth subject, in plate 1, illustrates the usual misfit which befalls the stout woman who needs an abdominal supporting cor­set. This corset provides no abdominal support, and exerts the greatest degree of pressure around the waist line.

Contrasting with this, the corset in plate 2 relieves stomach and diaphragm of all pressure and lifts the abdomen up, back and in, giving a delightful feeling of buoyancy to the whole body.
