DRESS IN RELATION TO BREATHING.--Dr . Mays, ·····. o( Philadelphia, has been making a ... scientific exam­ination of the 111t)de of breathing found among the IndiAn girl student:-; who __ bad _rg~t yet been subjected to. the restrictions of' civilize<T, dress,-E'lnd has come to the conclusion that abcfominal .respiration is . the original type for both male and female, ·and that the costal type in the civilized female is devel­oped through the . constricting influence of dress around the· abdomen. The importance of this -inves­tigation cannot be overestimated, as it shows that

-it would be possible for women to recover the abdom~­inal type. of breathing by a proper mode of dress and thus prevent the st:;i.gnation of blood in the lower p:irt of the fruµk. which tends to produce disorders· peculiar to women a1)d. which only .can be obviated by a free return of the blood through all the. veins to the heart. It hrts frequently been asserted by physi­cians that wol11en were intended by nature to use the costal breathing and this one theory haS' done more than all else to encourage women in persisting in_ a pernici~us mode of dress.
