192 result of infantine diseases, mal-position, standing upon one leg, want of bodily exercise, physical education, &c., &c."—The Lady's Newspaper, October 4th, 1852.

—"We beg to call public attention to the efforts—the most successful efforts made by Madame Caplin, of Berners Street, to give ease and elegance to the female figure; at the same time studying and securing the health of those who trust themselves to her care. We do not speak ignorantly on this matter. We have waited personally on Madame Caplin—examined with great care everything she has invented to carry out her grand object—and satisfied our­selves that she has conferred on society obligations for which they can never be too grateful. The conversation we had with Madame Caplin was truly instructive. It was positively delightful to hear her explain her principles of action, and we listened to the lecture throughout with feelings of admiration."—Kidd's Own Journal, June, 1853.

"We are pleased to see that Dr. Tilt quite takes our view of this great question, and that Madame Caplin's almost super­human efforts to bring people to reason are not lost upon him. Philanthropists are not met with every day, and they deserve the encouragement of all good men and women—alas, how few!"—Kidd's Own Journal, April, 1854.

"I have often given comfort by advising a light abdominal supporter, such as are made by Madame Caplin, of Berners Street."—Dr. Tilt on the "Change of Life," p. 124. See also his work on the "Health of Women."

"The 'Hygienic' Corset embraces every attainable advantage, and were the principle more generally adopted a great evil would be obviated. We commend the invention of Madame Caplin as an unprecedented exhibition of female skill."—Globe.
