The Woman's Mount.

! The Mount OF Venus Is found inside
the Life line. or at the root of the
thumb.
/ This, strictly speaking. is the Wom-
ans Mount. and covers more space than
any other mount. Nearly all hands
show some prominence here.
When absent, indicates a cold, Un-
sympathetic nature, no tenderness and
little interest in the beautiful
When normal is very auspicious. The
Mount Itself covers one of the largest
vessels in the hand. Looking at il from
this point. 1t must carry a great flow
Of blood. consequently strong and ro-
bust health. coupled with physical heat
and passion. Venus normal, denotes
sympathy. love and an intense desire
to be appreciated and loved, a fond
ness for music, dancing and innocent
sport. Also pleasant and gallant in man
ners. It. however, makes men TO some
extent effemir tie; again II softens the
malignities Of other bad qualities In the
hand.
When exaggerated with a sIoping
Head line Gin that case the Mount OF
the Moon Is also high, the subject is
apt TO become degraded, through a dis
eaSed imagination and affection for his
own sex. Strange as IL may seem, I have
often noticed this marking on poets.
artists, actors and musicians of great
talent. The mount being abnormal al
ways indicates a loose curiosity.
There Is always a second mount next
to the most prominent which must be
considered in forming correct opinion
Of the hands. The combination and its
meaning can easily be established after
the mount and its develOpement In the
normal place are understood.
Since the mounts are nearly always
found leaning TO a neighboring one,
the reader can easily follow which way
they lean by referring to the accom-
panying Illustration.
When Jupiter is found leaning toward
Saturn. IL would indicate a more seri-
Gus nature, as Saturn would give up
some Of its qualities 10 Jupiter and
vice versa. So on with every mount.
when leaning would contain its own
and neighbor's qualities.

This Institute in order to introduce
their new Medical Discoveries and X-
Radium System, sends at its own exc
pense these eminent specialists to give
to those who call on the above date,
consultation, examination, advice and
all medicine required to complete a
cure, absolutely free.
These specialists will diagnose your
case and give you the benefit of their
medical knowledge. Their is no ex-
perimenting or guess work. You will
be told whether you can be cured or
not. IF your case is durable, they
treat you; if incurab1e they will give
you such advice as may pro1ong your
life.
Their treatment gives quick relief
and positively cures. Being prepared
to suit each individual case the human
system is thoroughly c1eansed of the
disease in natural and direct manner
and improvement is noticed at once;
even the worst cases are treated with
out any inconvenience to the patient
or the pursuing of his daily vocation.
If you are improving under your fani-
~ physician do not come and take up
their valuable time. They wish to give
each one plenty of time, but cannot
listen to long stories not pertaining to
your case.
They have discarded the old renne-
dies used for ages by the medical
world and which it would be folly to
depend upon any longer for they do
not cure, as thousands die depending
on them for relief.
The fact that these Specialists have
discovered entirely new treatments
and natural cures, gives them control
of the Nervous System, Heart, Stom-
ach, Lungs, Kidneys, Catarrh, Con-
sumption, Epilepsy, Deafness, Male
and Female Weaknesses, Cancers,
Turnors. Piles and other Chronic Dis
eases.
They treat deafness by an entirely
new method and hearing in many cases
is restored at once. Catarrh III all its
varied forms cured so it will never re-
turn. If you have weak lungs or con-
sumption do not fail to be examined.
Ali cases treated can and will be
cured, no difference who you have seen
or treated with heretofore. Thousands
who have given up all hope of being
cured, now have an opportunity to con-
suit specialists of reputation.
Don't fail to cali as a visit costs you
nothing and may save your life.
If you suspect kidney trouble, bring
a two ounce bottle of your urine Tor
chemical and microscopica1 analysis.
REMEMBER:-Th free offer is
during this visit only and will not be
given again. Persons commencing
any treatment after this trip will be
required to pay, but not one cent will
be asked of those commencing treat
naent during this visit for any medicine
necessary to effect cure; also posi-
tive guarantee to cure will be given to
patients accepted under their system
of treatment. Those having long
standing and complicated diseases,
who have failed to get cured and be-
come discouraged, are especially juvi-
ted to call as thousands who have
given up all hopes can testify to per-
1nanent cures obtained.
NOTICE:-Married Ladies without
their Husbands and, Minors without
their Fathers, will positively not be
admitted to consultation.
