a MUSIC TREATMENT,
Being Used in New York for Curing
Of Sick and the Insane.
After Being Tested, supt. Glover, Of
St. Luke's Hospital, D Declares That
the Treatments Have Passed
Experimental Stage.

Music, as a cure for mental and bod
lily ills, has been embodied in dis
tinct system of therapeutics, and reg
ular treatment has been administered
to patients in hospitals and private
practice in New York city for more
than a year. Superintendent George
F. Clover, of st. Luke's hospital, New
York, has been an interested observer
of the trial in that institution through
the last winter.
He became interested last year in the
voluntary work of group of trained
musicians, under the direction of the
leader of the new school of therapeu-
tics, Miss Eva Augusta Vescelius, who
began her practical demonstrations
two years ago. Superintendent Glover
said in discussing the results of sew
eral months of treatment in the hos
pital:
'There is no doubt i'm my mind that in
certain forms of disease the use OF
music, as directed with trained knowl-
edge, has been of marked benefit, and
that it has passed the experimental

Recently a victim of malarial fever,
ignorant of music, but susceptible to
its charms, had treatment under the
direction of Miss Nescelius. consisting
| of four classical numbers, arranged fol
piano, baritone, .contralto and so
prano solos. Sleep was soon induced
and lasted for several hours. The pa.
tient had been i'll for several weeks
and was weak and emaciated. The
fever was banished, and there have
been no symptoms OF Its return.
A case of a remarkable success in
the treatment of mental disorder, in
private practice, was of a young WON
an, who had been for several years q
victim of periodical insanity. She wa.
brought by friend to the music room
of Miss Vescelius, and on hearing til,

"yyhat is that? Please play 1

She listened with seeming delight ii

ancholia gradually disappeared unde,
successive treatments, and her recoy
cry is now considered complete.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY

ton is notable
Accieeh's' step, not only in
railroading, but in the history Of gov
eminent supervision. So vast is the
network OF railway tracks in this coun-
try, and so great is the volume of bust
ness, that the accidents, although per-
hsps not large in proportion, are nu-
mercus In the aggregate. In 1901 more
than 5000 persons, passengers and en-
ployes, were killed on the railway, and
$1,000 were injured. The number ex-
ceeds the casualties in battle OF the
first magnitude. Yet this was after q
law requiring automatic couplers had
considerably decreased the accidents
due to the old.fashioned hand-coup-
ling Of freight cars. Experience is the
greatest. teacher. but, as the Youths
Companion observes, her school is an
expensive one. From the experience
Of the railways. carefully collated
and analyued in these bulletins,
it will doubtless be possible to
do much to lessen this volume
of misfortune. Almost numberless are
the causes of accident. Some admit Of
ready remedy, but the danger from
others can be guarded against but
slightly IL at all. In certain cases the
remedy may be. found In new laws; in
Others II may be . question OF mechan'
les; In too many cases human careless
ness is the cause. not always the care
lessness Of railway servants, for man
ayers and passengers are frequently
blamable. Whatever the cause may be,
the chance OF accident is diminished
by the gradual improvement OF rail-
ways themselves. The roadsbeds are
made more solid. grade crossings are
abolished, the tracks are protected
from trespassers, the machinery Of 10
comotives is made stronger, and il
every way possible the chance of acct
dent BY thoughtlessness Of anyone en-
gagged in the operation or the use Of
the railway is lessened. The acciden'

There are two or three weak plkees
in the American trusts of to-day, says
one Of tn. Trusts, the London Spec
tator. One but lit
weak POINTS. tie noticed, which
was pointed out some years ago by
one of the earlier millionaires, is
that they rather overtax the brain
power available for their manage
ment. 1t is very hard, even for a
state, to obtain succession of great
statesmen, and these vast businesses
demand as much mental capacity and
more sedulous and harassing atten-
ton. Their owners have, therefore,
to pay enormous sums for competent
management, sums often ten times
those paid to statesmen, and are liz
able even then to pick the wrong
men, while they themselves become
constantly victims to nervous and
cardiac disorders. They do not last
like the statesmen, and, owing to diff
ficulties of health, they do not gain,
as the statesmen do, the full benefit
OF their experience. Money wor-
ries" are very harassing, but no for
tune will keep man in full mental
strength, if the doctor has to see him
twice a day. AS the generation OF
founders dies out this difficulty will
be felt more and more.
