A correspondent Of The Lancet tells The

Five years ago had an opportunity Of
trying the effect Of dreamy music upon q
lady Of great intellectual power, who re.
tanned, too. her faculties at the ripe age Of
eighty-six. About seven minutes were &C.
cupied by the music, and before its last
notes were heard my revered friend, the
Viscountess Combermere, had closed her
eyes and was mapping.
The story reminds The Hospital Of an.
other one which runs as follows: A certain
country laird was taken i'll with some af.
lection which produced marked sleepless
ness. All sorts Of remedies for the insomnia
were tried, but tried in vain. The laird had

Of the laird's family were in state border.
Ing on distraction, the lad, whom nobody
thought Of taking into consultation, sud
denly burst out with, "Feyther aye sleeps

minister to preach to the sleepless man was
acted upon Immediately and with the best
results. Hardly had the reverend divine
got we'll into the second head of his dis
course before the patient was sound asleep
and snoring like the drone of bagpipc.
The peculiar monotony Of the preachers
