The sudden elevation inthe centre of the tracing indicates the downwardmovement of the pelvic organs occasioned by thetightening of the corset. Dr. Kellogg estimates that the movement of theuterus up and down in ordinary breathing is to .3 of an inch. Coughing and deep breathing,straining and similar movements, may increase thisto .5 of an inch. The restricted movements of thepelvic organs result in muscular weakness and mal-nutrition of the pelvic organs. The pelvic organs are prevented from displace-ment chiefly b}T the round ligaments. Thesebeing muscular structures which, by their nerve-connections, are made to contract at the sametime as the abdominal muscles, it is evidentthat anything which interferes with the freeaction of the abdominal muscles must equallyin
