To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hippocrates vigor- ously denounced the women of Cos for constricting the waist with a girdle. Among the Romans, who adopted this practice from the depraved Greeks, Martial often alludes to the small waists of the women of his time, and Galen speaks much in the same way as a modern physician regarding the evils of tiglit lacing. Since then matters have changed, but very slightly. Tlie apparent development of the pelvis has been further artificially exaggerated by that contri- vance which in Eliz...abetlian times was called a ' bum-roll' and more recently a 'bustle. ' The tightening of the %vaist dops not merely emphasize the pelvic sexual characters ; it also emphasizes the not- less-important thoracic sexual characters; as Dr. Louis Robinson expresses it (in a private letter) : 'I think it very likely one of the reasons (and there must lie strong ones) for the persistent habit of tightening up the belly-girth among Cliristian damsels is that such constriction renders tlie breathing thoracic, and so advertises the al- luring bosom by keeping it in constant and manifest movement.
