MUSIC HAS POWER TO HEAL

Miss Margaret Anderton Suggests Musico-
therapy AS Means of Curing Mental
Disorders; Describes Method
DR.. Hassall answered in the negative

DIR. Hassall answered in the negative.
Says Miss Anderton:
There are two chief ways of treat
ing patients. though in detail no two
cases can be handled alike. But. as
a general thing, / administer the
music for any form of war-neurosis,
which is largely mental. and have
the man produce the music himself
in orthopedic cases or those of paraly-
sis.
Different instruments are used for
different types of trouble. The tim
bre of an instrument probably plays
the largest part in musical healing.
and for this reason wind instruments
are good because of their peculiar
quality. Wood Instruments are par
ticularly potent for a certain kind
of war-neuresis because of their
penetrating, sustained tone.
Instruments OutcIass Voice.
instruments are usually better
/ than vocal music. for with the hu-
man voice the personal element. which
usually is not desirable. enters In.
THE tinIbre of wood Instruments,
however, affects the nerve centers
more than does the voice or piano.
This Is especially good with deaf peo-
pie. who feel the vibrations in the
spine"
Restoration of memory, acute tenn
porary insaafty, paralyzed muscles re-
stored and other facts are accredited
to musicotherapy.
Musicotherapy may be harmful as
well as beneficial. If not handled prop
erly, says Miss Anderton.
''It may be a very detrimental thing
for wounded, convalescent or mental
ly depressed soldiers II done by
person who knows neither the indI-
vidual needs of the men or the large
bases and delicate technique of the
science" she said.
To practice musicotherapy one must
know not only music. but also physics,
