The improvements effected ot late years in ladies' corsets have been very areat, and strikingly beneficial to health. Foremost among these for their peculiar excellencies are Rosenthal's sanitaire and Dr Warner's coraline corsets. The former is constructed to obviate the debilitating effects of the ordinary corsets by relieving the delicate and and vital organs from damaging mechsnical pressure, while still affording a healthful and comfortable support to the wearer. Th'o support to tho figure is properly distributed, and the distressing effects of tight-lacing neutralised. Dr. Warner's coraline corset is boned with a new substance, which is vastly superior to horn or whalebone, It cannot break but will in every instanco outlast the corset, being more pliable that whalebone it adapts itsolf more readily to the movements of the body. Both these admirable corsets can be had in all sizes and colors at James Smith's Tb &ro Hoosk.-|Advt.J
