AN HERB FOR EVERY PAIN.

Old Fashioned Remedies That Were
Used by Our Forbears.
In the village Of Greenwich, England,
in a quaint old street where the build
ings are SO thick that they tangle them
selves together in a knot, there is a
queer little shop with a sign over the
door that reads, An Herb For Every
Pain
On the shelves Of this shop are to be
found hundreds Of different kinds of
herbs for the dire Of all bodily all
ments. There can be found all the old
time herbs that.dur grandmothers used
to have hanging around the walls Of
the kitchen and stored away in the at
tic, ready to be made into teas and
Eirups in case of sickness.
People who still have old fashioned
ideas about health and sickness go
there for bugIeWeed, slmac, winter
green. sassaffas, camomile, horehound,
yellow dock, catnip, cherry bark, null
lein, extract of oats, lobelia, and so on.
AL these herbs have the reputation of
being good for some one or more all
ments-c atnip for nervousness, sassa-
fras for the blood, horehound and bone
set for colds, sumac for sore throat,
wintergreen for rheumatism, lobelia as
an emetic in case of poisoning, mullen
for consumption, etc.
Nearly all of these herbs are made
into teas. Sassafras tea, boneset tea
and catnip tea are brewed and served
either cold or hot. Among the many
hundreds OF herbs that are sold in this
little shop are some that are deadly
poisons, and they are labeled and sold
under the same restrictions as other
poisons
The good old remedies that our grand
fathers hunted and dug in the woods,
those that our grandmothers planted
and tended in the garden, have given
way to harmful remedies, to drugs that
leave the patient in a worse condition
than when he began their use. We be-
lieye it has been a mistake to give up
the old remedies.-Nedical Talk.

AsTRoLOGY.
One of the Most Ancient Forms OF
Superstition.

One of the Most Ancient Forms of
Superstition.
Astrology means the science of the
stars" The encyclopedia calls astrol-
ogy zone of the most ancient forms of
superstition 2 Chaldeans, Egyptians.
Hindoos and Chinese were given to it.
The Jews became addicted to it after
the captivity. It spread into the west
and into Rome at about the beginning
Of the Christian era. Astrologers play
ed an important part at Rome, where
they were called Chaldeans and .mathe-
maticians." Although they were often
banished by the senate and the emper-
ors on pain Of death and were other
wise prosecuted, they continued to hold
their ground. Even Ptolemy the as.
tronomer did not escape the infection,
which in his time had been universal
Mohammedanism was we'll adapted
to astrology, and the Arabs cultivated
the science" with great ardor from
the seventh to the thirteenth century.
Some Of the early Christian fathers ar
gued against astrology in its earlier
form and others received it modified
to some extent. There is a hint of as
trology, some critics think, in the story
Of the visit Of the three wise men from
the east to Bethlehem at the time of
the Nativity.
Probably the palmiest days of astrol-
ogy We're the fourteenth and fifteenth
centuries. At two Of the oldest univer-
sites in Europe chairs were founded
for it's teaching-at Bologna and at Pa
dua No princes court was complete
without its astrologer. After the renais-
sance the study Of astrology was Wig
orously opposed, though for centuries
many men continued to believe in 1t,
among whom, at least to certain ex-
tent, was Napoleon. The merciless
ridicule of Swift had much to do with
its discredit9in England.
