The improvements effected ot late years in ladies' corsets have been very ,great,- and strikingly beneficial to health. Foremost among these for their peculiar excellencies are Rosenthal's s.mitaire and Dr Warner's coraline corsets.

Dr. Warner's coraline corsot is boned with a now snbstauce, which is vastly superior to horn or -whalebone, It cannot broak but will in every instance outlast ; the corset, hciug more pliable that whalebone it adapts itself more readily to the movements of the body. Both these admirable corsets oan be had in' all sizps and colors at James Smith's Tii Alto Housk.—lAdvt.j ,
