H Music as Medicine. From the days of Saul and David music has no doubt been the means of alleviating, it not of actually curing, many serious cases or mental disease. Modern experience has proved this con- clusively, and many instances may be quoted from ancient history. ~I\_4.I........-ma nnvnvnnnn n'|I`l1('; in th qlloteu l.l'Ul.l.l uuucuy qua Lvs; u Pythagoras commended music in the treatment or the insane, and Thales, .when a pestilence ravaged Sparta. tound in music his most powerful means of - combating it. Henocrates soothed maniacs by it,_and '1`heophras- tus held that even the bites of venom- ous reptiles were rendered _less tatal by subjecting the victims to the inu- ence of melody. , --- -,. vrun_.sI.l..
