This son of ^sculapius, who was short and bulky, had also a jovial countenance, calculated to inspire hope and confidence in his patients. He was, moreover, a gifted musician, and could play various wind instruments, some of them as tall as himself His musical renderings, if they did not add to the more solid arguments in favour of tee- totalism, commanded unqualified admiration, whilst the expansion of the chest superinduced by the physical effort, was taken as proof that alcohol was not neces...sary to free respiration. But Mr. Gavid was not only able to discourse most eloquent music ; he also, now and then, presumed to court the Muses. His parody on the Fall of Babylon was regarded as a stroke of poetical genius, and was sung throughout the county with unbounded enthusiasm. True it is that in this remarkable effusion there was a comic jumble of metaphor and Cornwall, 223 an absence of elegant diction ; still, the people accepted the rhetorical mixture with more com- placency than a draught from the doctor s pharma- copoeia.
