Americas Greatest Medicine

Miss Anna Estell Wilson, of New
York, has found a decidedly novel CO.
cupation. She prepares music for In
valids. She says that although the
healing power of music is yet only
dimly perceived, nevertheless physi'
clans acknowledge that its proper use
produces highly beneficial effects. Un'
der the influence of certain kinds OF
music the nerve cells, If depleted or toe
relaxed, may be stimulated to more
vigorous action. Music Of an opposite
character will diminish too great ner'
vous activity and tend to produce a
condition of peace and restfulness.
Several physicians commend Miss Will
sons system. She does not say any
thing about how many different dis
eases of the nerves one piano In a fiat
house is capable Of producing in very
short time.
