THE GREATEST DESTROYER 



OF 



HEALTH, LIFE AND BEAUTY IN THE 

 CIVILIZED WORLD. 



WAIST BELT. 



This and its kindred waist compressor are the most destructive in- 

 ventions to human health on the Face of the Globe. King alcohol 

 claims his victims by the hundred thousand; but these by the millions. 

 Abominations: Dr. Ellis, in his Book on Health, says: " The 

 majority of our women are partial invalids, and most of our misses are 

 miserably ' peaked or puny,' because they or their mothers before them 

 wore those abominations, and that many of them are unfit, and should 

 not be allowed to become, mothers of families." He further adds: 

 " The strong arm of the law, should, by all means, be evoked to stay 

 this deterioration and destruction of the human race." 



The very least compression, almost, on the waist is a great foe to the 

 human system and to health. The consequence is, no father should 

 ever allow a Waist Belt to enter the portals of his home. 



Deaf to Reason: It is often said that it is useless to protest, 

 preach or proclaim against this evil. It is true that the ignorant and 

 giddy are deaf to reason or advice, but not always so with the more 

 thoughtful. Read carefully the article found on page 113.
