MUSIC AND
HEALING

 

THE healing power of music, which is heralded as a modern discovery by those who are practicing it in hospitals, is not new. The fact is, this method of healing has always been recognized and practiced, the most striking illustration being the universal lullabies which mothers, civilized and savage, sing to soothe their tired children. In every nation, and in every tongue, the lullaby has its place. We assume that every child has been harmonized mentally and physically by the mother's song, however crude that song may have been.
