Let us sing more.



Professor Tarchanow*, of St. Petersburg, lectured recently on ”The Influence of Music on the Human Organism," and affirmed that music is of the greatest service in the treatment of disease, and that, by the proper use of music, the system can be tuned like a musical instrument.

The Russian savant expressed the conviction, that a time will come when music in the hands of scientifically trained physicians will be acknowledged to be an agent of great power for the relief of suffering.
 * * *
How can music fail to relieve,'
exclaims Tarchanow*, 'when a series of cases has proved that it is the most powerful regulator of men's moods and feelings which dominate many sides of the psychical and physical life of the organism?'"*

Reports have come to me of a sweet singer, one of the beautiful healers of to-day, and his lovely healing, from the people of his city, and when lately he was in Chicago I questioned him as to his method in treatments. He told me that his best cases were when he had sung his treatments.
 Did you ever try that way? You will find that you can do your thinking or mental speaking in a singing tone, and that it will have the very healthiest effect upon you. You can mentally sing same little verse or hymn whose words you love, and they will keep you happy all day long, while you are doing work or are in any position where you cannot sing aloud.
We have never sung enough. Let us sing more.
HEILBRDUN; OR, DROPS FROM THE FOUNTAIN OF HEALTH. BY FANNY M. HARLEY 1898
