Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dr. Banning's Patent Lace, or Body Brace: For the Relief or Cure of Spinal Affections, Bleeding at the Lungs, and All Weaknesses of the Body Requiring Support
A Remar'kable' Case of Hemorrhage from the Lungs, entirely Cured by the use of the Brace alone.
Miss sarah A. Ferris, pupil of the N. Y. Institute for the Blind, for several months declined in health, and for two months bled almost continually from the lungs; had a cough and pain in her left side and breast; her strength and appetite failed; and was pronounced by the eminent of the profession in New York, to be a hopeless case of consumption. Indeed, I was informed on my introduction to her, (as she lay bleeding on a handkerchief in a steamboat) that it was not expected that she would reach home alive. Urged by the most humane motives, I introduced the philosophy of the Body Brace, and next day it was applied, and strange as it may appear, she never bled one drop from that hour to the present time. Her general health immediately im proved, and in a few days took stage passage to Western New York, and in six weeks returned again to the Institution to the utter astonishment of all, especially her medical attendants.
