O LIE racked with pain for nearly a month. To
lie in that dazed, semi-unconscious state
which comes from the combination of physi-
cal ailments with the physicians' medicines. To
dream away the sun-lit hours and long for sleep all
through the dreary night. To feel the near presence
and comforting hand of those dear to you, and yet
only dimly to recognize that they are other than
those of the merest stranger—these are a few of the
pleasant experiences that come once in a while to
some of us ultra civilized people.
At last the turning point comes—there is an end
to everything, even sickness, Laus Deo! Familiar
objects about the room resume their accustomed
shape. The baby's woolly dog on the mantel, which
for days has seemed to you in your partially narcot-
ized condition a monster of hideous mien, becomes
once more a harmless toy. Childish prattle which
was more nerve harrassing than the successive dis-
charge of a dozen Gatlin guns, and childish foot-
steps which seemed to shake the house from founda-
tion stone to turret top, and each shake an ache, are
transformed into fairy music and elfln footfalls. The
sun shines once more with its old time warmth and
glow, the ruddy, open grate fire sparkles almost
cheerily now, and at times even seems to laugh in
your face, aa though it said, "What, you sick? Non-
sense! You were sick, but now—pshaw! Can you
look through the half parted curtain of that window
upon the glistening snow, crushed beneath the run-
ners of countless sleighs, filled with troops of merry
makers? Can you hear their careless shouts of
laughter, that drown all thought of care and make
the air ring with the evidence that all is not pain and
misery in this world? Can you hear this without be-
lieving that there is something still in life worth liv-
ing for?"

"Bah! 'Throw physic to the dogs,' and farewell,
foratleasta time, to plasters, poultices, and pills."
T
I have had time, during the rather comfortable
period of convalescence, to study our celebrated issue
of the Music TRADE BEVIEW of January 5 to 20,1886,
the first number of the new year and the first issued
under the firm name of WELLES & BILL—long life to
them. I t was an astonishing number and has never
been equalled us an organ of the music trade of this
country. We are certainly proud of it, and more than
that, I do not hesitate to say that the entire music
trade ought to be proud that they are represented by
such a paper. The array of advertisers is astonish-
ing, and to give an adequate idea of their number it
Is worth while to present them here in the order in
which they stood in that issue, as follows:
