ELECTR0-MUSIC CURE.
It Ia Opening a New Volume in
Medical Society
Sir Herbert spencer's Theories on
the Treatment Of Nervous Dis-
eases Anticipated by nm Amer
lean Scientist.


1t is proverbial that an "informer is
despised by those whom he wishes to
serve as well by those whom he is
DESTROYS Of injuring through the infor-
nation he imparts; and it is likewise
proverbial that "reiorner usually
lacks the laudation and support ofthose
upon whom he desires to confer a bene-
fit, while at the same time he incites the
jealousy OF those whose IDEAS are not as
definite and progressive as are his own.
This being understood by the discover
err of the electro-music cure. who is
also the inventor of the apparatus by
which this cure is conferred upon sui-
fering humanity. he has preferred that
the general public. as well as the med
ical profession. be first thoroughly con-
WINGED of the wonderful curative results
produced through the medium of mu-
sic combined harmonically with cur
rent Of electricity, the combination
acting upon two of the nerves of sense
at one and the same time.
That most eminent of Englshmen.
Sir Herbert Spencer. announced in 1890
that strains of music. acting upon the
emotions through the agency of the
auricular nerve could not fail to be of
very great use in the treatment of nerv-
Gus and mental disorders. Some four
or five years ago DR.. Rafelli, of Munich,
Germany. startled the medical profess
sion OF that empire by the publication
of facts regarding some remarkable
cures made by him, without medicine,
but through muscal tones emanating
from a species of aeolian harp, operated
by his patients while rocking in an easy
chair. Among other distinguished peo-
pie cured by this species OF mental med
ication was the empress of Austria, who
for years had been an invalid from
nervous prostration and general de-
bility, her case having baffled the eff
forts of. the most skillful medical men
whose services money could procure.
With due respect to Sir Herbert
Spencer, of England. and DR.. Rafelli,
of Germany, eandor compels us to ac-
knowledge that the discoverer of this

being is suddenly indicted in ball
room. He sees gay dresses and cheer
full looks, and a happy reflex results,
and is sent to the organic and sympa-
thetic centers; then he hears the joyful
music and jolly laughter through the
ear and an additional happy reflex is
transmitted to those centers, the re-
suit being that he feels joyous all
over" The difference between joy
Gus feeling and sad one is the diff
ference between an earnest, hearty
laugh and genuine cry
These reneXes from the upper or
ideational centers to the centers below
give to the cells of the latter an athletic
exercise, thus causing them to become
more fully developed, hence more cap
able of doing their work better and
quicker. Nature is the great physician,
and all that medical man can do is to as
sist nature. This can only be done by
strengthening the human mechanism
by means Of which nature does her cura-
tive work.
What the electro-music current does
is this: 1t sends to the seat of the emo
tions over the nerves of hearing and
touch harmonious vibrations varying
in intensity, rising and falling with
musical tones, these harmonic vibra-
tions being reheXed by the upper or
ideational centers to all the nerve cells
in the body, thus giving them pleas
ant and varied exercise, the result be
ing, they are quickly strengthened and
reused to activity; this done, all the
forces of nature are brought into a
state of offensive warfare against any
disease that is making an assault
against any member or organ of the
body.
Electricity, as exhibited in the past
in cases of disease, has been entirely
useless for the simple reason that ma
ture abhors sameness and will not en-
terrain it for any length of time with
out resistance. The most perfect
sound or gentlest touch, if not varied
by change, becomes monotonous, and
is quickly rejected by nature; therefore,
as electricity has always been admin
istered in the form of a pit-pat-pit-pat-
make-and-break in the current-the
current as well always OF the same
strength-no good has resulted, nor
could any good result But it is differ
ent with the electrp-music current,
That current has in it no break what
ever, being continuous, rising and fall
ing with the musical tone.
The electro-music cure acts good
deal as does the pattlng, caressing and
humming given by a mother TO her
nervous, sleepless, restless infant. Its
agitated nerve cells are soothed by the
gentle voice it hears and loving and
various touches It feels until sweet
sleep watts it into the land of rest and

delightful means of relieving the ills
of humanity is an American. The fol-
lowing extracts from caveat filed nthe
United States patent Office on January
90 1868, tell their own story:
ITO the Commissioner of Patents: The
petition of Dr. Robert D'Unger, of Dor
chester county, Maryland, respectfully
represents that he has made certain dis
coveries whereby a harmonious combina-
tion of music and electricity can be sue
cessfully used as an auxiliary in the treat
ment of nervous and mental diseases.
In proportion to the brevity
or length of the notes played, so are the
electrical sensations experienced, thus
acting upon the sense of touch at the same
instant that the sense of hearing Is acted
upon by the musical tone"
The application of electro-music hav-
ing made some astounding cures of
rheumatism, neuralgia, diabetes,
Brights disease, dyspepsia, bronchitis,
asthma, nervous and muscular prostra-
ton, etc, one naturally inquiries: "How
does it do it?" To make this plain, some
information, physiologically, must be
impaired, and this may be given in a
brief way. The bones, for their move

muscles, for their force, depend upon
=, the nerves; the nerves in turn depend
hpon the ganglia, or nerve centers, and
these latter, for their nourishment, de-
pend upon the blood. The blood (cre-
ated from the food we eat, and carrying
within it not only all that is needed for
repair, but likewise the subtle power
which enables us to move and have our
being), traverses all parts of the body,
being drawn through the arteries by
the action of the heart; at the termina-
ton of the arteries lie what are termed
the Notwithstanding bits of flesh
. colored blotting paper. These capil-
laries are the points of growth and re-
pair. Here the veins begin and through
them the blood is carried back to the
heart. Now, the ganglia or nerve CEN
tiers, likewise, are the termination of
the arteries and the beginning of veins.
as the blood passes through them, the
dells composing these centers extract
from it the nerve force, storing it up, to
be used as needed, just as electricity is
stored up in a storage battery.
Let us glance at the nervous system,
as q whole, as there would be no sensa-
ton If life existed without so important
part of the human system. tits divid-
ed into four series of ganglia or CEN
ters-the upper or ideational series,
the seat of thought. memory, foresight,
rejection, invention-in short, the seat
Of knowledge and Of the emotions.
Note that the will has no control over
this series of centers. Thoughts come
and go independent Of the will. Were
1t not so, a murderer after committing
his crime, might say; I'm forget this"
But he cannot do this, as his will has
no power here. The next series of CEN
ters IS known as the sensorial series

BRAIN FOOD.
Value of Albumin in Diet of Growing
Children at School.

Value of Albumin in Diet of Growing
Children at School.
1t is important to note that cerebral
nerve cells demand particular ma
terials for their proper nutrition.
Food which will make bone will not
be best suited to the nourishment of
an active brain, and vice versa So
fat-producing foods, while of course
of value in ones diet, yet do not fur
nish in large measure nutrients for
the repletion of nerve cells. Prof.
Ladd says that the chemistry of the
nerve cells is in the main protoplas-
mic, and therefore rich in albumin
GUS bodies. And again: "Of the
solids composing the nervous sub
stance, more than one-half in the
gray and one-fourth in the white
consist of proteid or albuminous bod
les" The foods that are best cal
culated to nourish the brain, then,
are those containing a large amount
of protein or albumin, rather than
fats, carbohydrates, or minerals, the
three other important constituents of
foods. But in many homes, as well
in those of the rich as of the poor,
the children's dietaries contain COM
paratively little albuminous food."-
Prof M. V. O'Shea, in Appletons'
Popular Science Monthly.

the nostrils smell, the tongue tastes,

or last series of centers is concerned.
the sympathetic or organie-the viii
cannot affect them any more than it
can affect the growth of a tree. These
centers do their work automatically
work when one sleeps as well-if not
letter-than when one is awake. They
control the action of the heart, lungs,
stomach, liver, large and small in
testines. kidneys, spleen, etc.
There are two ways--the natural and
the unnatural, in which the nerve cells
composing the sympathetic or organic
system can be REACHED. The natural
method is by making harmonic or pleas
ing impresses upon the upper or idea
tional brain centers through the eye,
ear, taste, smell and touch. Such inn
pressions being made, there is a reflex
action on the parts of these upper CEN
tiers, this reflex sending the impression
downward to and through the other CEN
ters. In other words, if pleasing impress
sions are sent to the upper centers
through the eye, they, are sent by re-
fex to the sympathetic or organic gang
liza, which thus enjoy the pleasure
sent to the seat of knowledge through
the eye, and in the same way pleasant
sounds, tastes, smells or touches are
correspondingly conveyed. Note, how
ever, that nothing seen, heard or tasted,
smelled or touched is refeXed unless it
be something that has acted upon the
emotional centers.
Illustrations of this reflex action are
readily found. For example: One sees
a funeral unexpectedly, a sad reflex is
given; he hears heart-brealdng sobs and
walls of mourners, his sadness is in
creased. Reverse this; this depressed

BEETHOVEN.
Pathetic Story CT the Last Time He Ever
PLAYED

AANyPNi
A writer in Temple Bar relates the
following regarding the last time
Beethoven ever played:
''IIe had been deaf for rs years,
nearly half of his life, when, in 1927,
letter reached him at Baden from
his nephew, the being dearest to him
on earth. The young man wrote from
Vienna, where he had got into a
scrape, from which he looked to his
uncle to cxtricatc him. Beethoven
set cut at once; but his funds we're
so low that he was obliged to make
the greater part of the journey on
foot. lie had gone most Of the way,
and was only a few leagues from the
capital, when his strength failed. lie
was forced to beg hospitality at poor
and mean-looking house one evening"
The inhabitants received the exhaust
ed, ill-tempercd looking, dark, gruif-
voiced stranger with the utmost cor
diality, shared their meager supper
with him, and then gave him com
Portable seat near the fire. The meal
was hardly cleared away before the
head of the family opened an old
piano, while the sons each brought
forth some instrument, the women
meantime beginning TO mend the
linen. There was a general tuning
up, and then the music began. AS it
proceeded the players, the women, all
alike, were more and more deeply
moved. Tears stole down the old
mans cheek His wife watched him
with moist eyes and a pathetic, far
away smile on her lips. She dropped
her needlework, and her managing
daughter forgot to find fault. She
was listening, too. The sweet sounds
left only one person in the room I'M
moved. The deaf guest looked on at
this scene with yearning melancholy.
When the concert was over he
stretched out his hands for sheet Of
the music they had used. Tcould not
hear, friends he exclaimed in hoarse
tones of apology, but l would like to
know who wrote this piece which has
so moved you all. The piano player
put before him the 'Allegretto' in
Beethoven's symphony in A. Tears
now stole down the visitors cheeks.
'Ah,' he exclaimed, Il wrote it; am
Beethoven! Come and let us finish
the piece He went himself to the
piano, and the evening passed in a
true delirium of pleasure and pride
for the jewellers in that humble mu-
steal home. When the concerted mu-
sicwas overhe improvised lovely songs
and sacred hymns for the delighted
family, who remained up far into the
night listening to his playing.
at was the last time he ever
touched an instrument. When he
took possession Of the humble room
and couch allotted to him he could
not sleep or rest. His pulses beat
with fever. He could not breathe
He stole out of doors in search of re-
freshment, and returned to bed in the
early morning chilled to the heart.
