A treatise on the medical and surgical diseases of women, with their homopathic treatment .. . (See Plate XII.) Wecould not get along without the use of some support for theabdominal viscera. Fitchs supporter made with springs of steel, which areplaced over the crest of the ilium and rest against two padsat the back, and in front against a stiff piece well padded, ismade too small, and the steel pieces are too stiff; conse-quently, it has gone into disuse.
