PeriheliOn and Ptstilence.

From the Science of Health.
If there is anything in astrological
criology,' We are approaching one of
the most pestlential periods OF the
earth's history. Since the commence
ment of the Christian era the perihelia
OF the four great planets Of the solar
system-Jupiter, Uranus, Saturn and
Neptune-havc not been cOincident.
But this is about to occur, and. in the
language of Dr. Knapp, who has traced
the history of the greatest epdcmics
that ever afflicted the human race to
the perlhelia of these planets, there will
soon be "lively times" 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 urbed as TO
cause injurious vlcissitndes, terrible
rains, prolonged drouths, etc, result
lag in he destruction of crops, and
pcst!ence among human beings and
domestic animals DR.. Knapp has col
lected mass of statistical data, all go.
ing to show that perihelion dates have
always hcen marked hv unnsral nor

have invariably correspondent with the
planets in perihelion at the same time.
