SiM MO (MS The garter has become a thing of leauly, but it remains a hygienic abomi nation, according to the doctors. This refers to the round garter, which com rcssts tho muscles, retards the circula tion, ami niiiiilis (he nerves. And it is this in-trumciit uf toriure upon which the inanulactiirers have iivished their attention, until it has be come su jiretty an all'air, with its filagree buckles and its ribbou bows, that only Spartan women can resist it. I'ASTKNKU ABOVE THE KNEE. The round garter, fastened abovo the knee, is uot considered by physicians tiite so deadly as the tightly-drawn corset. There are no ribs in the leg to be compressed, and the vital organs of the body are not located in the neighbor hood of the knee. Hut, next to the injurious compression of the waist, bust, aud abdomen by stays, the hvgienisls place the compression of the leg by elastic inters. The india-rubber bands which cueircic the flesh just abuve the knee are dangeruus, because of their effect upon the muscles and u)ou the circulation. Tho veins are cenlracted, and the blood of necessity is retarded iu its flow. The result is not merely local iniury, but harm to the whole system, which is affected by the sluggishness of the circu lation. Hut the danger does not merely lie in an impaired circulation, but is also mus cular. In walking, the muscles just above and below the knee are brought mure intu play than any others. The compression uf the muscles at this point is therefore, something to be avoided, for it means additional effort at every step and consequent weariness. Often this fatigue produces muscular rhcuinatisi and doctor's bills are the direct result of the frivolous bit of silk elastic ribbon and silver which sbojikcepcrs call a gar ter. If the exigencies of tidiness absolutely demand the round garter it is much letter that it should bo wurn beluw the knee than above. 51 , TI-5E UEST SPRING iEDICINE IsSlM.MONS l.lViitf REGULATOR.
