Etifl. ii'ul ever ejist, the long wind
blows
Along Bin""' rocks, across chill spectral
titles;
Far out in the diminishing gray light
ol sea.
And homeward now, a solitary
freighter rides.
Once more the misted slate-blue
dusk descends
Actoss unending sweeps of silent
ashen snow;
And silently, one after one, bencatl
the hills
Drave little lone tent lanterns glow.

Diseases of Musicians
t») Mil,AN CLKNDENING. M. D.
TUB MEDICAL mind metimes
lights on peculiar subjects
to study. 1 have been glancing Ht a
treatise on "The Diseases of MuDr.
Clendening will answer
questions of general interest
only, and then only through
his column.
cicians," by Dr. Kurt Sinner,
which is full of lore. (It is not a
recent publication, so you will
probably ask your bookseller for it
in vain.)
Dr. Singer starts out with the
nervous and almost mental disorders
of musicians, and here he
outlines some principles which apply
to all those queer gentry who
work in the arts whether painting,
music or writing. Ho says that
they are inevitably unhappy, or at
least dissatisfied and tend to become
neurotic. And the reason is
not far to seek. However much
you may admire a"piece of creative
composition, the artist is always
dissatisfied because he knows the
chasm that separates his own first
conception of it, the inspiration, I
with the reality.
His ideals are never realized.
His reach, as Browning put it, ex- i
feeds his grasp. This makes fur ]
the queer, nervous, impractical,
morose individual the plodding
world of "practical" men sees, and
almost invariably makes fun of
and despises. Another thins that
excites the derision of the world
which is nevertheless an inevitable
fact is that among t'.ie highly talented
(an l even among geniuses!
the "men seem to have feminine
traits and the women masculine." |
Writers Most Neurotic
Dr. Singer thinks musicians arc
unhappy people to be with. Hut my
experience i.> that musicians and
painters are comparatively happy
and normal. Partly, I think. . o- j
cause they do their work or see
their work appreciated in public. ,
surrounded by other people. The
writer in the throe* or creation 1»
alone. He is appreciated l>y solitary
and temporarily silent renders.
If you really want to contact
some first rate dyed in the wool
concentrated neurotic^- cultivate
the literary set. And. for heaven's
sake, never let any of your loved
ones marry a writer or, in fact,
make a friendship with one, or if
you can help it don't try to meet
one. Oh! if you yearn to he insulted!
Or made fun of! Or if
you want to lend moiic.;!
Dr. Singer, however, leaves th«
field of temperament and nets
down to material things about his
musicians. The cause of their difficulties
seems to be basically the
amount of practice they have to
do. The repeated demands of the
same movements on the same muscles
and tendons and bones inevitably
affects them to the point of
exhaustion so we have pianists'
cramps and violinist's cramps.
Robert Schumann ruined his concert
career by practicing with
some of his tinners bound so the
others could have free play. These
professional cramps differ in no
way from writer's cramp. Dr.
Singer treats them by psychotherapy,
elect rothe r«.py, hindit'g a
tourniquet around the arm for a
short interval, etc.
Other Diseases of Musicians
Violinists also have linger warts
and pain in the neck and chin from
contact with the violin rests.
1 take a certain grim satisfaction
in knowing that flutists and
trombone players have occupational
diseases. Trombone players, I
can not help but be pleased to report,
get air into their salivary
ducts blowing up the cheeks and
have a heck of a tin .They al! get
eczema of tile lips ami leut opl.-.kia
of the tongue and emphysema (dilatation
of the air spaces of iiw>
