MEDICINAL MUSIC.
(_A Growl from a "Quiet Street."_)
["There is a disposition just now to revive discussion upon
a very old subject, namely the curative influence of Music in
cases of mental and bodily disease."--_Daily Telegraph_.]
Curative Music? Just as well expect
An Influenza-cure from Demogorgon!
Some dolts there be, no doubt, who would detect
Anodyne influence in a barrel-organ;
A febrifuge in a flat German Band,
A prophylactic in a street-piano!
Some quackery a man _can_ understand,
But Music I'll _not_ take, even _cum grano_.
