MUSIC BRINGS CURE
Rhythm Charms Disease Of Af-
fIicted Little Children.
Wonderful Results Obtained by Use
Of Melody In Treatment OF In
fantiIe Paralysis, Heretofore
Considered lncurabIe.

London. - The wonderful results
which can be obtained from the scien-
tific use of music and rhythm In In
fantile paralysis were the subject of
an impromptu demonstration at the
Tiny Tim guild. an institution in City
road, London. for the treatment OF
paralyzed children who are consid-
cred incurable at the general hospi-
tails
The first patient was boy of 6.
whose right arm had been totally
paralyzed following an. attack of acute
infantile paralysis. A drum and his
zeal for beating II in time SO as to
become professional drummer when
he grows up have been his salvation
What massage and electrical treat
ment alone could not do. constant
working at his drumming has accom-
plished, and now the paralyzed arm is
almost as useful as the other.
The second case was a child of 8,
who six months ago was totally para
lyzed in both legs. Her treatment con-
sisted of marching to an inspiriting
tune played on the piano, while seated
on the edge of low wooden chair
The secret of the treatment" Miss
Hawthorne. the founder of the guild.
explained. ''is to make them build up
the strength of the paralyzed muscles
and nerves by encouraging them to
use their limbs In the way each indi.
viduai likes best The music keeps
their interest up and prevents their
becoming bored and tired
The most interesting case was a
girl of 10. who three years ago was
refused admission at one Of the great
London hospitals as being hopelessly
incurable. On being brought to the
guild, SO her mother explained. the
right leg and arm were almost use
less, while paralysis of certain OF the
throat and tongue muscles rendered
the chlld's speech almost incoherent.
Dull and mentally deficient In many
ways, her interest in musical sounds
gave the clew to the treatment Sing
ing exercises were devised in which.
10 pronounce the vowels correctly. the
semiparalyzed muscles had to be
used. while wooden clapper and a
bell to be sounded by the paralyzed
foot and arm respectively completed
the apparatus
The other day. after almost three
years at the guild. this patient now a
normal looking little girl sang u
number of songs in rich, full voice,
pronouncing the words faultIessly.
and then. as grand finale, she skip
ped the rope TO show the marvellous
control the musical treatment has
gained over the injured limb muscles.
