Fainting room. Apprapo as their corsets were quite tight. I doubt one could get a decent breath.

Cozzy 25., Good luck to you! Big pharma is corrupt and evil and hides at all costs natural remedies that can actual help and cure instead of causing addiction and additional health issues. I wish you well… xo

sonnybud, I raised my eyebrow at that phrase also. Check out the movie Hysteria with Maggie Gyllenhaal.

sonnybud, if I understand correctly, their "pelvic massages" were of the happy-ending variety.

Cindy, I agree. There was a case where a 2 year old girl had to wear a corset. Alas, it was too tight, & she died.

sonnybud, This was used to treat anxiety. Big pharma did not exist then. Treatments were more natural back then. No little blue pills.
