XXI.--MEDIUS, OR THE MIDDLE FINGER.

This finger presenting little gridirons in the joints thereof, plainly

declares an unhappy and melancholy wit, but if equal lines, it manifests

fortune by metals, &c. A star there presages a violent death by drowning,

&c. If a gross line be extended from the root thereof, upwards, through

the whole finger into the end of the last joint, it argues folly and

madness.
