[edit] DOCTORS RECOMMEND REAST'S PATENT

Invigorator corsets.

FOR LADIES, MAIDS, BOYS, GIRLS, AND CHILDREN.

Dr. M. O. B. NEVILLE, L.R.C.P., Edin. Medical Officer of Health, says, Nov. 1st, 1890 :— ­
"From a scientific point or view, I am of opinion that your Corset is the only one that gives support without unduly compressing important organs. Its elasticity, in a great measure, prevents this. I am satisfied by its support of back and shoulders, that it is a material help to expanding the chest."

"Mrs. WELDON'S FASHION JOURNAL," says July '90:— ­
"Undoubtedly supplies a long-felt want for ensuring an upright form and graceful carriage COMBINES ELE­GANCE of FORM WITH COMFORT. It renders a corset what it should be, com­fort, and support to the wearer, strengthening the spine, expanding the chest, and giving necessary support without tight lacing or undue pressure."
