(Constitutionalist mb Hcpublic. BY JAMES GARDNER, JR. Woman's Dress. A late number of the Boston Medical and Sur gical Journal publishes a papei read before the Boston Society for Medical Improvement, by Dr. W. E. Coale on the present fashion of dress amongst our women, in relation to their health. The following paragraphs merit.the wise conside ration of all whom it concerns With a view of improving tneir shape, the lower part of the dress of women now consists of six, eight, or even more skirts, made of various materials, cotton—the stiff woollen material, in tended for curtains called moreen flannel, and at times quilted with cotton wool—weighing to gether, as ascertained by actual experiment, ten, twelve and even fifteen pounds. Each of these is supported by a string drawn very tightly round the body. We have seen the marks of these strings for days after the skirts had been removed —we have seen them even after death. Here, then, is the first source of evil —the con tinued pressure and constraint that these strings keep up, evidently embarrassing greatly the or gans wiihin. When to this, however, we add the weight of the skirts, we cannot but at once perceive how great an additional force is set to work, particu larly if its operation, as exerted upon organs having amongst themselves a mobility almost as great as that of fluid, be properly estimated. To protect the abdominal viscera against this pres sure, remember there is nothing in front at least save a thin partition of woman's soft and tension less muscle. That these viscera should be forced downwards is not surprising l ; they must in turn exert an equal force downwards on the pelvic viscera is apparent. * * # Here we have an explanation full, and we trust, convinc ing, of the frequency ofa disease in the youngest and heartiest of the sex—which twenty years ago was considered peculiar to those whose pow ers of life were greatly exhausted by demands upon them, or were already on the decline fr >m age; an explanation, I may mention in passing not yet offered, as far as I can ascertain, by any other writer. Dr. Coale says that until the last fifteen years, although the dress was at times worn low on the chest, it was hung by broad shoulder straps oflen coming from the shoulders high up towards the sides of the neck. Prints illustrating the fash ions of this country, prior to the time mentioned, and the costumes of England and France for any period, prove this. About fifteen years since, as 1 a ball dress, the shoulder-straps were left off; so | that the upper line of the dress was perfectly | horizontal; and this, with the elastic views of delicacy so peculiar to fashion, was often low i enough to disclose the edge of the arm-pit. In ' this style there was danger of the dress slipping down, and it would do so but for the ingenious j contrivance of whalebone uprights, the lower ends of which are sup|>orted at the expense of the inner vital organs, over which they are placed. Moving a Mountain. —The Bible tells us that if we have faith we shall remove mountains. : as if the moving of mountains were the last i of physical impossibilities. But if we believe ! what the Hungarian Gazette, quoteef by a ; Geneva correspondent of the Newark Daily j Advertiser says, there is a mountain in Transyl- j vania which has moved itself. It seems that on the 13th of August last—by-the-wav. that was, the very day on which the great earthquake oc curred in Italy—the mountain “ Geleztas,” in the county of Clausenburg. Transylvania, moved to wards the “Venyikes”—both mountains being from eight hundred to one thousand feet in height. The town of “ Monyorokezek,” which j was, before the movement, an hour’s walk from the last named mountain, is now scarcely eighty \ paces distant from it, having been moved with j the torrene movement, and is threatened mo- ‘ mentarity with burial. This movement lasted j from the afternoon of the 13th to the noon of the 15th. It occasioned incalculable losses; all the plains at the foot and around the moved moun- j tain, with their ungathered harvest, being ruin ed. In their places now appear rocks of great: height, and the features of the landseape are on tireiy changed. No one of the old owners can 1 recognise his fields. Waters have broken out in the whole vicinity, which is converted into a ! rocky marsh.- The population of the village, : some four or five hundred, fled to their next neighbors. The Steamship Mississippi. —A letter from ; on board the steamship Mississippi, when she was aground near Smyrna, in describing the cf- j forts to get her off, which were finally successful on the 23th of August, says: u The scene around us was truly novel. Five large steamers, three English and two Austrian, ! and a French brig of war, were rugging at us.— The beach under our bows was covered by Turks, Greeks, Arabs, and two or three Harems; and the walls of the fort covered with apologies for soldiers. At every fresh endeavor of the ! steamers to tug us off, snap went a hauser, until finding that we had not a rope left, we were abandoned to our’own resources.” Disgraceful Riot. —At Oswego Center a fearful riot took place on Wednesday, 17th. There was a ball at a public house, and seven or eight drunken rowdies got in among the dancers. A row ensued and the rowdies were ejected. They returned to the charge, largely reinforced, and stormed the house. The ladies fled through a window 10 feet high, aud the gentlemen fol lowed. The Oswego Times thus describes the 1 retreat: “ All made a precipitous retreat, young men and maidens, bullies and fighting men, the j proprietor of the house and family. Some took shelter in a field of corn, others at a neighbors house, and others in various places.” A Swindler. —The Ph'la. N. American says that on Friday an individual disguised as a min ister of the gospel, which character he acted to such perfection as to completely deceive, swin dled Air. Hopper, jeweller, Chesnut-st., out of two gold watches and a gold chain, worth be tween two and three hundred dollars. He had put up at Jones’ Hotel in the morning, where he registered his name as Leonard Wilson, Tennes see. At his request, the goods were sent to his : room. He gave a check on the Philadelphia Bank for the amount of the bill.—The check was taken to the bank and proved to be a for gery- B. K.

FLEMING A CO. NEW SERIES—VOL. VI NO 119 IN QUART BOTTLES. FOR purifying the Blood, and for the cure of Scrofu la, Mercurial Diseases, Rheumatism, Cutaneous Eruptions, Stubborn Dicers, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Bronchitis, Salt Rheum, Consumption, Fever Sous, Fe male Complaints, Erysipelas, Loss of Appetite, Pimples. Biles, General Debility, &<i. ’ F ’ In this preparation Ve have all the restorative pro perties of the root combined and concentrated in their utmost strength and efficacy. Experiments were made in the manufacture of this medicine until it was found it could not be improved. Accordingly, we find it re sorted to almost universally in cases of Scrofula, Liver Diseases. Salt Rheum, General Prostration of the Vital Powers, and all those tormenting diseases of the skin so trying to the patience, and injurious to the health. It is a tonic, aperient and disinfectant. It acts simulta neously upon the stomachy the circulation , and the bowels , and thus three processes, which are ordinarily the result of three different kinds of medicine, are car ried on at the same time through the instrumentality of this one remedial agent. There are many ways of re lieving pain for the time being, but there is only one way of removing disease. No palliative, no anodyne, no tropical application will remove it. It must be* at tacked at its source, in the fluids of the body, which convey the poison to the localities where it is develop ed in inflammation, sores, ulcers, tumors, abscesses, glandular swellings, Ac., as the case may be. These fluids must be readied, acted upon, purified by some powerful agent. Such an agent is Sand's Sarsa parilla, which gently stimulates while it disinfects and expels from the stomach and bowels all that is irritating, and at the same time restores their vigor and tone. Its great merit is that it meets and neutralizes the active principle of disease itself, and when that is gone, the symptoms necessarily disappear. The rapidity with which the patient recovers health and strength under this triple influence is surprising. Each new' case in which it is applied furnishes in the result a new certifi cate of its excellence ; and we have only to point to the accumulated testimony of multitudes who have expe rienced its effects, to convince incredulity itself of its real value. Lieut. Miller, of the Army, has kindly sent us the fdl lowing letter from California : __ . Montiriy, Jan. 18, 1850. Messrs. A. B. A D. Sands :—Gentlemen —l beg leave to add my testimony in favor of your invaluable me'di cine. hoping it may lead some unfortunate beings to try its effects, and that they may be benefifcted as I have been. I arrived here from the United States by the overland route about the first of October last. A few days after, 1 was attacked with a very disagreeable eruption of the skin, which my physician could not cure I happened to find your Sarsaparilla in a store in this place, and re membering the popularity of the medicine at home, 1 purchased three bottles, which had the desired effect of removing my difficulty entirely. With high regard, yours. Ac., J. H. MILLER, U. S A.9 FROM THE STATE OF MAINE. The attention of the reader is called to the following certificate of a remarkable cure effected by using only five bottles of Sands’ Sarsaparilla : certify that the bee, State of Maine, has been afflicted, more or less ever since my birth, with Scrofula, which continued to in crease until last February. In January, my legs *ere so swollen I could not get on a boot or stocking, and I had several large sores on me all the time. In this situ ation. I was about to give up in despair, when I was ad vised to try Sands’ Sarsaparilla. I had not much faith in it, but I sent to your agent in Augusta, Me., and pro cured a bottle, which did me so much good, I sent and got another, and continued until I had taken five bot tles. lam now perfectly well. If any person who may road this letter is afflicted with any disease of Scrofula, I w'ould most sincerely recommend aud advise them to make use of Sauds' Sarsaparilla. If any person wishes further information about my case, by calling upon mo I can convince them of the healing power of this medi cine. Signed. STEPHEN HAYWOOD. Augusta, April IS. 1850. P.
