the nervous system, in aiding digestion, and in fusing
together the social gathering.
He touches upon its importance in the general edu-
cational scheme and its growing place in the life of
man as he evolved from the primitive to the present
state of civilization. Perhaps the most interesting
parts of the booklet are the last sections devoted to
the service of music in the general hospital, in the
treatment of the insane, and in soldier reconstruction
work.
A Trade Helper.
The booklet should be distinctly helpful to the
trade. It brings together many newly discovered
and many long established truths about music which
it is most desirable for the public to know. It brings
them these facts on the authority not only of a noted
physician, but of a responsible public official whose
duty it is to advise the people on that which is bene-
ficial to the health of the individual and of the com-
munity. The style is popular and easily compre-
hended.
There are various ways in which the dealer can
use this health department bulletin to advantage. It
is suitable for ordinary circularization, although this
will probably not produce direct results. It may be
sent out with a letter to selected lists. It may be
used as an appeal to the city authorities for more
musical equipment in the schools, hospitals and other
institutions, and to individual citizens who may wish
to contribute toward securing this equipment.
In any event, both dealers and salesmen should ac-
quaint themselves with the facts regarding the thera-
peutic value of music, for they can be frequently used
as sales arguments.
Yours very truly,
C. M. TREMAINE, Director.
New York, December 12, 1924.
Editor Presto: I would like to recommend to the
trade through your columns that they send for the
recent bulletin of the Chicago Department of Health
in which appears the article, "Music for Health," by
Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Chicago's Commissioner
of Health, whose address before the Piano Club of
that city you reported a few weeks ago.
The Piano Club has made available reprints of the
bulletin at the very low price of $8.50 per thousand,
and they may be ordered through Mr. Kenneth W.
Curtiss, 1222 Kimball Building, Chicago, who is
chairman of the club's promotion committee.
The activity of the Piano Club in reprinting this
bulletin is but another proof of how constantly they
are "on the job" and an illustration of the construc-
tive work of. that organization for the advancement
of music. Any "live wire" in other cities who wishes
to discover the usefulness of local trade associations,
with the idea of forming one in his own city, has but
to get in touch with Chicago's Piano Club.
A Powerful Document.
The Bundesen article is a strong and sweeping
endorsement of music and forms the entire content
of that particular issue of the weekly official bulletin
of the Chicago Department of Health. On the first
page of the bulletin, under the city's seal, is a signed
statement by the Commissioner summarizing the
great powers of music.
Dr. Bundesen has worked out his theme by refer-
ring briefly to all the manifold ways in which music New and Old Concerns Secure Charters in Various

The drive for grand sales recently inaugurated by
the Goosman Piano Co., Toledo, O., is resulting in
many fine sales. The grand piano show held in the
store proved an effective send-oft for the drive. One
feature of the exhibit last week was a window show-

strong spotlight.
