Tn gratitude for complete relief from aches and pains of bad backs-from dis. dressing kidney thousands have pub hcly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills. People who so testified years ago. now say their cures were permanent. This testi- mony doubly proves the worth of Deans Kidney Pills to kidney sufferers.
 Mrs. Winifred Jenkins of 42 Fifth St., Ansonia, Conn.,, says:
 aI am willing to substantiate the former statement made recommending Deans Kidney Pills. Their use cured me of sharp cutting pains in the back and a lameness of the limbs, dizzy spells which made everything black and dark about me, and . general weakness due, l think, to g debiliated and weakened condition of the kidneys.

WOE PREDICTED BY STARS
Astrologist Finds Trouble Ahead for John d.
and Other MiIionares.

As If the recent financial disturbance
wasn't retributlon enough for the men
who really brought II about, the stars.
according to Frank Theodore Allen, an
astrological Investigator, Of Berlin, y. j.,
indicate breakers ahead for some Of the
bigbugs in the world of cash and credit.
Especially interesting is the astroioger' S
deduction that John d. Rockefeller may
part company with orthodox religion be
fore he dies. He also predicts storms for
J. Pierpont Morgan and f. II. Hartman.
Hear him!
by FRANK THEODORE.
The horoscopes Of mon Of prominence
in the business, political, and financial
interests of this country reveal an aston
ishing uniformity in their prognosis Of
several years of stress, Of bitter accusa-
tions, shocking exposures, and confess
sions, and generally erratlc happenings
that will cause men 10 lose faith in each
other and i1 themselves.
John u. Rorfefeller's horoscope por-
trays a man Of unusual integrity and con-
scieEtiousness. who sincerely believes IN
the justness Of his course. For upward
Of ten years Mr. Rockefeller has been
subjected 10 constantly increasing vol
ume Of the vibrations of the iconoclastic
and revolutionary Uranus. It's first effect
was to turn millions Of his fellows against
him. Recently it has caused an emphatic
modification of his long reserve.
The first seven months Of 1903 will sub
ject Mr.. Rockefeller to a series Of unex-
pectcd and unavoidable annoyanees, the
months Of June and July being especially
fraught with excitement. Not until after
1912 viii he be freed from the assaults Of
this most abrupt ana eccentric influence.
II I have correctly estimated the hour OF
his birth. then ] would expect that be
fore he finally emerges from the plane
taTy influences now operating upon him.
he would ast0nish the world by breaking
away ON orthodoxy in religion and an
nOuuCiIg his advocacy OF some very ad-
yanced and progressive teachings.
At last this horoscope shows the clos
ing quarter Of his life ruled by the deVout
and benevolent Jupiter and the icOnOclas-
tie and liberty-l0ying Uranus, 50 that the
satisfaction Of bis last days and his place
in history and in the hearts Of his fellows
viii be conditioned upon the degree 20
which he responds to and permits the ex-
preston OF those forces.
J. PierpoEt Morgan was evidently born
close IN the noon hour. just as the mag
Hauimous Jupiter and the fiery Mars were
rising in the royal and commanding sign
Leo. and the sun exactly in the midhea-
vens in the sign Of his exaltation.
AlT. Morgan has so much Of the FIRE and
iron or Mars in his system that ne should
enjoy unusual exemption from disease,
and his death will likely be sudden.
There are strikingly significant posi-
ti0ns 0f two of the planets I'm Morgan S

in the horoscope Of Edward H. Harri-
man, indicating the probability that in
some way Morgan may be instrumental
in causing Hartman the most drastic re-
verses Of his career. No doubt Morgan
is conscious Of this power, but he has not
felt disposed to make use Of il.
The planetary aspects in Morgan's hor-
osceoe foreshadow unusual excitement

ticuariy through 1903, when the fiery and
executive Mars viii be the dominant
