Five Points Essential to Healthful Dress

It will be noticed that in the style of dress recommended there are five points essential to healthful clothing, viz.:— GSAM 363.3

1. Discarding corsets and all compression of the waist. GSAM 363.4

2. Dispensing with all bands on arms or limbs that would hinder the free circulation of the blood. GSAM 363.5

3. Clothing all parts of the body equally, especially the feet and ankles. GSAM 364.1

4. Suspending the skirts from the shoulders, and in no case allowing them to hang upon the hips, with bands. GSAM 364.2

5. The length of the dress. GSAM 364.3

The first four points are now advocated by every intelligent physician, and as to the fifth, the trail and the extreme short dress are now both discarded. GSAM 364.4
