The mechanism of breathing may be effected by two separate and distinct sorts of nerves and muscles. The upper portion of the body, including the ribs and thorax generally, may expand, and thereby draw air into the lungs. This is termed costal breathing, literally rib breathing. On the other hand, the mus¬ cles of the abdomen may come into play, and by depressing the diaphragm, In may this thus increase the chest cavity. type, termed abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing, the muscles of the upper part of the body remain inactive. Bocrhaave, in 1744, observed a radical difference in male and female breathing. The mas¬ culine tvi e is abdominal, the female is costal. On these premises Dr. Thomas J. Mays, of Philadelphia, has based an interesting investigation. It appears highly breath¬ proba¬ ble that the reason of the costal ing of women is that they compress the diaphragmatic region with corsets, so and as to suppress all but costal breathing, so as to develop the latter highly. Dr. Mays subjected a number of Indian women to examination. He used a mod¬ ification of Paul Bert’s pneumograph. By this apparatus a trace indicative of the extent of chest and of abdominal movement was produced so as to show in graphic form the relative proportions of the two types of breathing in the same subject. The result was that be found the majority of Indian women to breathe almost entirely with the diaphragm. Their pneumograph tracings correspond¬ ed closely with those of white men. As the Indian women do not wear corsets, this investigation tended to prove that corsets were the cause of costal breath¬ ing. The most curious conclusion, however, is the possible influence of corsets on consumption. Admitting that they are the cause of costal breathing, and accept¬ ing the theory that costal breathing is a corrective of consumption, a plea for these articles of attire is at once estab¬ lished as preventives of the dreaded mal¬ ady. The possibility of this benefit is increased by the consideration that men are, on the whole, more subject to it than women, and that Indians seem peculiarly its subjects. Yet the case is far from proved, and it would be rash to consider the corset side of the question as proved. Admitting even that corsets diminish consumption, the account against them, when used injudiciously, must be regarded as far from balanced by any good of this sort that may be attributed to them.—Scientific American.
