to a doctor at a dinner table, they are certain to walk off
with some prescription.

Their greatest fault is that they will persist in talking to everyone of
their supposed ailments or afflictions, for the slightest ache, pain, or
anything that concerns them, has the most exaggerated importance in their
mind.

On the contrary, Nature can do more for these people than for any other
class of humanity. Peace of mind, a country life, and plenty of fresh air
will banish all their ills and ailments into oblivion.

But, if badly mated, or living in unhappy surroundings, their health
quickly breaks up, and if they cannot make a change into happier
conditions, then no medicine in all the world can help them.

THE MOUNT OF THE MOON AND ITS MEANING

The Mount of the Moon, or as it is also called the Mount of Luna, is
found on the base of the hand under the end of the Line of Head (Plate

chances, also in stocks, business or, in fact, anything in which they are
engaged.

Although their imagination is large, they often achieve great success and
make money in business. Some great financiers and heads of large
organisations have been born in this period and have also had the Mount
