Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Vol. 44: July-December, 1901 IN presenting this subject for your consideration, it will be from the anomalous position of one who, while believing that women would be far stronger, healthier, and better fitted to perform the duties incumbent on the sex if they never wore corsets, yet advocates the wearing of a corset; and, secondly, While practising surgery, is so thoroughly convinced of the efficacy of the plan herewith laid down that he feels con strained to preach orthopedic in preference to more sanguinary measures. Let us look at this matter from the standpoint that operations on movable kidneys are but rarely necessary; that from 90 to 95 per cent of symptomatic movable kidneys can be relieved, symptomatically, by wearing a properly fitting corset; and how to select and adjust such a corset.
