Melancholy = feeling of sadness

I am Grimaldi !

A patient suffering from profound melancholy one day presented himself to Abernathy. After careful examination the celebrated practitioner said, “You need amusement, go and hear the comedian Grimaldi, he will make you laugh, and that will be better for you than any drugs.

“My God”, exclaimed the invalid, “I am Grimaldi!”

Money is Medicine!!

Dr Goldsmith, having been requested by a woman to visit her husband who was melancholy, called upon the patient and told him that he would send some pills which he had no doubt would prove efficacious. He immediately went home, put ten guineas into a chip, and sent them to the sick man. The remedy had the desired effect.

Music is Medicine!!!

Philip of Spain was in such a deplorable state of despondency from ill health, that he refused to be shaved. On the arrival of the famous singer Farinelli, the queen ordered a concert in a room adjoining the Kings chamber.  Farinelli sang one of his best airs, which so overcame the King that he desired he might be brought into his presence, when he promised to grant him any reasonable request he might make. The performer, in the most respectful manner, then begged of the King to allow himself to be shaved to which request Philip graciously consented.
