About this book
Personal Hygiene and Physical Training for Women discusses digestion through an account of intestinal movements, including gentle rhythmic motion and the wave-like propulsion called peristalsis. The discussion describes food being moved backward and forward, digestive fluids being diffused through it, and chyle being driven into the lacteals. The account of sugar states that excess is converted into fat when the liver and muscles contain enough glycogen to supply the blood.
The instructions for corsets describe opening the lacings widely, adjusting the garment into position, and fastening it from below upward. The instructions also describe lifting the abdomen while holding down the lower part of the corset.
