If there is anything in astrological we Are approaching one of the most pestilential periods of the Earth s since the commencement of the Christian Era the Perthelia of the four great planets of the solar Jupiter uranus Saturn and have not been coincident. But thu s is about to occur and in the language of or. Knapp who traced the history of the greatest epidemics that Ever afflicted the human race to the Perthelia of these planets there will soon be Lively tunes for the doctors the theory is that when one or More of the Large planets is nearest to the Sun the temperature and condition of our atmosphere Are so Dis Turbed As to cause injurious Vicissitudes terrible Rains prolonged Droutas Etc., resulting in tie destruction of pestilence among human beings and Domestic animals. Or. Knapp collected a mass of statistical data going to show that Peri Helion data have always been marked by unusual mortality and that sickness and death have invariably corresponded with the planets in Perihelion at the same time. The revolution o f Jupiter around the Sun is accomplished in a Little less than twelve years of Saturn in a. Little less than thirty years of uranus in about eighty four years. If it be. True there fore that the Perthelia of these planets occasion atmospheric conditions unfavourable to life pestilential periods should occur once in a dozen years and aggravated and still More widespread epidemics at longer intervals. In tracing the history of epidemics for More than years or. Knapp finds the facts in cases to validate the theory. Thus in the sixth and sixteenth centuries three of these planets were coincident in Peri Helion and those were the most pestilential times of the Christian Era. But soon we Are to have for the first time in two thousand . Four of these planets against us. They will be at their nearest approach to the Sun in or soon after 18.80. So that for a few years say from 1880 to 1885, the vitality of every living thing will lie put to a severe and trying ordeal. Some persons think see in the signs of the times Evi Dences of the great disasters in the immediate future. Tie excessive heat the unexampled cold the prevalence of flood and disasters at sea the general failure of the potato crop the widespread chill fever among human beings and the equal presence of the epizootic among animals Are mentioned As among the pro uni tons of the rapidly approaching Perihelion. As Ell. To be forewarned is to be fore accidents excepted we know very Well that the persons of More vigor Ous constitutions and Mere hygienic habits will have the better Chance to survive whatever Adverse influences the extraordinary Perthelia will occasion. It is Well known to physicians that in pestilences plague typhus Small pox cholera Murrain Etc., the intemperate the dissipated and those whose sanitary conditions were bad furnished the victims. We do not write to alarm any one net to make a sensation. State the facts which Lii Story attests. Readers can judge for themselves what import Ance to attach to the subject. That the Conjoint Perihelion of the Large planets of the one of which Jupi Ter is a thousand times larger than the Earth must disturb our atmosphere and temperature very considerably is Proba ble that the disturbance must be injurious to health and life is certain and that these periods have heretofore been pestilential is a matter of record. How much we shall suffer during the next dozen or fifteen years depends Verv much upon How nearly we live in accordance with the Laws of life. Onet to loan of first mortgage Security.
