The other case is that of a dancing-master, who 

 through fatigue, .fell into a violent fever. On the 

 fourth or fifth day he was seized with a lethargy, 

 which after some time changed into a furious delirium. 

 lie threatened all that were present, ami obstinately 

 refused all the medicines that were offered him. One 

 of them raying, that perhaps music might a little 

 compose his imagination, a fiiend of his took up his 

 violin, and began to play on it. Ti.e patient started 

 .up in his bid, like ore agreeably surprised, and shew-

 the violin, loosened their hold, and let him move 

 them, according to the tunes. In about a quarter of

 pipe, than all his fierceness ceased. He laid his ear 

 close to the front of the i!en, nibbled his nose and his 

 teeth against the end of his pipe, and then rolled upon 

 his back for very glee. 1 have seen a German flu to 

 have the sumeetiect on an old Jion 3 and a young tygcr 

 in the tower ol London.
