THE SEASON II WHICH TO PREPARE
FOR THE WRATH 10 COME.
BY Professor c. A. Orimmer.


II is pretty well understood that the
periheiia OF the four great planets
Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn
viii be coiucident in 1880. Astrology
to-day is ridiculed by many so-called
scientists. In 1890 astrology will be
taught by many who reject it now.
Bacon says 1.-The world opposes what
it does not understand. In the case
of astrology this is pre-eminently so
| have no desire to discuss the verify
or falsity of astrology; | simply state
the effects which the approaching
perihelia will produce according to as
trological deduction. The effects
which this conjunction will produce
are monentous. Frem 1880 to 1887
will be one universal carnival Of death
No place on earth will be entirly free
from the plague. The Pacific coast
will not suffer anything in comparison
to any other portion OF the globe.
The coincidence Of these planets in
perihelion will always produce cpl
demic and destructive disease. Three
of these planets are malifices, and
Jupiter, although a benefic, produces
evil through association; or, techni-
cally, by conjunction with the others.
Diseases will appear, the nature of
which will battle the skill of the most
eminent physicians. Every drop OF
water in the earth, on the earth, and
above the earth will be more or less
poisonous. The atmosphere will be
foul with noisome odors, and there will
be few constitutions able TO resist the
coming scourge; therefore prepare,
We that are constitutionally weak, and
Incorporate, and gluttonous, for mans
last home-the grave. From the far
east the pestilential storm will sweep,
and its last struggle will end in the
far West. In 542 and 1865 three OF
the planets, two OF which were mala6cs
MARS and SATURN were in perihelou,
and Jupiter, though q benefice,
brought evil through association
Now 542 and 1868 were the worst
plague eras of which the world has
any record. From 542 to $40 it has
been estimated that from 100000
to l20,000,000 victims suffered death
by the plague. Gibbons History,

tory Of Rome" vol. ii. p. l7S.)
In 1920 Mars and Saturn were in
perihelion and in the sign Virgo, and
and $4,000 out of $4,000 inhabitants
died in the city Of Marseiles in less
than FIVE weeks. 10 544, $1,000 died
each day in Constantinople. Alexan-
dria, Egypt, lost, in 552, $4,000, and
543, $4,000 of her inhabitants by the
plague. But as bad as were those
times they will only approximate the
horrors OF seven years which many of
us are doomed never TO witness All
the weak and Incorporate are sure to
die. There is no escape from the in
exorable fiend. Fortunate, indeed,
are those whose blood is pure and free
from any faint or weakness, for they
alone will survive the wreck Of human
family. The Incorporate and weak
will join hands and go down to their
graves in tens Of thousands. Ancient
races will be blotted from the face of
the earth. Asia will be nearly depop-
ulated, and the islands that border
Asia will suffer frigbtfully from the
scourge. The countries that join the
northeastern portion OF Asia will suf-
fer the ravagss Of the plague. Rus
sis will be the first European nation
that will suffer. Unless correct sani-
tary measures are taken before 1881,
the plague will be found devasting
large cities on the Atlantic coast Of
America. America will lose more
than 100000 of inhabitants II the
sewers Of her cities are as imperfect
