On This Day | Music is Good Medicine and a Wise Choice

No matter to what extent music may restore a person to the normal,” says the New York Medical Journal, “there can be no question that it may help other influences to incline the person from the normal. There are many compositions, notably among those by Chopin, which are the outcome of more or less melancholy moods, and while they are beautiful and harmless to the healthy, when made a steady diet and source of self consolation by those suffering from depression from mental or bodily causes their effect is undoubtedly pernicious, just as a too exclusive diet of olives or meringues would depress the general bodily condition and mental atmosphere of a person so indulging a sickly appetite.
