What are the breasts?
Two mammary glands developed on the busts of all females when arived at maturity, which appear between the arms on all who puberty ushers into womanhood. In shape they resemble a globe cut in half through it’s centre, with the flat surface of each half placed upon the chest, and it’s spherical portion projecting, each placed about midway between and below the arm – pits and breast bone, and lying between the third and sixth ribs.
As a female beautifier, no other toilet appendage bears any compatison with them. She, in whom they are large, round and duly elevated, looks splendidly.
How can a woman regain her bust?
All well – sexed maidens enter womanhood with a plump, luscious bust which usually shrivels gradually till it almost disappears by age twenty. This lamentable decline has its adequate causes, preventions and restoratives. To look really charming, the breasts must rise and fall with every breath and gently quiver at every step… Satisfied love will restore them to this state.
Love – making will help?
No! Loving attention. Neglect or crossness deadens a wifes love and thereby shrivels her mameries. It is like cutting of your nose just to spite your face!
Is there no device to use to increase their size?
Two noted physicians of my aquaintance recommend a bowl of glass to which is fitted a stopcock. The air is exhausted by means of a syringe, and a flow of blood to the part follows. It is said to render the breasts more shapely, but I would not advise excessive use.
But is not a spendidly developed bosom sometimes the occasion of sin?
It is, indeed. In this regard, the noted English physician, Thomas Low Nichols, has issued this warning: ‘The bosom is supplied with nerves of sensation from the cerebellum, and it is in the most direct and intimate sympathy with the female generative organs. A woman of sensibility, who would preserve her chastity, must guard her bosom well.’
What of breast – feeding? Is this better than bottle – feeding?
Most certainly, but there are, as Dr. Napheys has noted, some hazards. No nursing mother is safe, he declares, whose breasts are not properly and daily emptied. ‘If this cannot be done by the child,’ the doctor adds, ‘another infant should be applied, or a small puppy, either of which expedients is preferable to a breast – pump.’
Can breasts be too large?
Indeed they can.
One cure for this condition, a questionable one indeed, has been mentioned to Miss Lola Montez: ‘I have known ladies to take a preperation of iodyne to remedy a too – large development of the bosom. But this must be a dangerous experiment for the general health.’
Do you recomend make – believes?
It is much better to be than to make believe. My (the original authors) brother Lorenzo, tells of a striking young lady who was at the centre of attention one afternoon on a boat steaming up the Hudson. Everyone was remarking about her. ‘What a beautiful young lady!’ ‘What a noble bust!’ Everyone, that is, except a matron standing nearby who knew otherwise.
Beautiful? ‘Yes,’ she said, ‘but you see her now as she has been made by the art of the milliner. You should see her as nature has formed her! I can assure you, in that condition she is as flat as a board!’
