The EarIx Astronomers.

The early astronomers were all as
trologers and claimed to be able to pre-
dict the future careers Of various indi-
viduals by casting horoscopes" show
ing the position of the planets at the
time of their birth. The position and
movements of the various celestial
bodies were not only supposed to con-
troll the destinies of men, but were also
thought to bring veal or woe, tempest
or sunshine. upon the earth itself. A
man born when the sun was in the con-
stelIation of Scorpio was believed to be
naturally bent toward excessive indul-
gence Of the animal passions. One born
when the sun was in Pisces was pre-
destined to groyel or be a servant,
while one whose earthly career was
opened when the great luminary was
in Aries would be a great scholar and
q man known to the world despite all
opposing influences.

Around all day with an aching back !;

Cure every kidney i'll.
Ell. Sullivan, OF 81 Broad St, Albany.
Ca, sayt: "My back has been very
weak and painful, especially at night.
Many day and night have been made
miserable for me by dull heavy con.
slant pain in my back, and my general
health has suffered greatly in conse-
quence. The functions of the kidneys
were disturbed and the secl etions were
all out of sorts. They were very red
and full of sediment and came far too
often, causing much trouble at night,
All OF the much advertised kidney and
backacbe remedies failed TO do much
good until I got Doan's Kidney Pills.
They acted quickly clearing up the
urine, driving the pain out of my back,
and enabling me to sleep well at night
This has brought about such change
