A curious theory has been started by a French physician, Dr. Barq, that the playing of wind instrumenta and other lika pulmonary gymnas tias, instead of being, as generally supposed, injurious to persons with weak lunge, are, on-li the contrary, beneficial to them. In order to establish the fact, Dr. Burq bae visited a variety of large workshops, and among othere those of manufacturers of wind indramena. On one of these occasious br received the following in formation from M. Sax: Besides choleraio immanity, our workmen enjoy another--they are free from consumption. Many philanthropists, on resing our young military musiciame viold tán enormous instruments we make, have sor rowed over the few years these poor tellows would have to live. Well, they are mistaken. All the men who makes it their profession wo try the wind instrumente made at the various factories before sending them of for sale, all, withant exeption to my knowledge, are trea from palmonary affections. I bare known many such whooa entering upon this profession were very delicate, and who, though their duty obliged them to blow for bare together, enjoyed perfect health after a certain time, I am myeolf an instance of this. My mother died of con sumption; sight children of hers fell victime to the mune disease, and only three of us survive, and we all three play wind fumtruments.
