will incite their followers to deeds of
blood and rapjne, but they will not
hold sway long; insanity from relig-
ious causes will predominant in those
times; the mortality in the cities
where sewerage is defective will be
appalling; everything that is eaten or
drank should be boiled well before
being used; no cooked food or water
should be partaken of if allowed to
be exposed to the air for even a quar-
ter of an hour; food must be eaten
as soon after being cooked as possib Bile:
every kind of animal food should be
eliminated from the table; even fish
and game should not be used; milk,
butter, eggs, tat and oils excepting
vegetable OLD should be prohibited
vegetables, grains and fruit that are
produced in each country should be
used. The electric condition Of every
thing on earth will be changed, there
fore the products of the soil in our
Immediate vicinity are the best to
keep the human system in a positive
state.
When the human organization is in
a positive condition, it is practically
impossible to contract disease. All
persons in a negative state to their sur
rounding will be the first to fall vic
tins to the scourge The fesh-eater
and the alcoholic embiber will 20
hand in hand together to the grave,
for their blood will become impure
and infamed, and therefore be in a
negative state, and necessarily unable
to combat disease. Bear in mind, no
part of the world will be exempt from
the ravages of the plague The frigid
homes of the Esquimaux will be in
vaded by the domain of death, and
dissolution will be as apparent there
in the frozen land as in the sun
scorched sands of Africa. 1t will
penetrate alike the jungles of India
and the civilized homes of America.
The monaghan race will suffer most,
for it is without doubt the most an
cient. Races are like empires--they
have their rise, decline and fall.
China will be depopulated or nearly
so, and when the plague breaks out
in 1881. in their country, hordes Of
the Asiatics will crowd their ships and
fee their country, to spread the 10th
some horror over every land they turn
to. Every Island in the Pacific
will be swarming with Mongolians,
and they will at last reach the Pacific
States, and then America must suffer
destruction of life without a paral-
lei in the annals of her history. | say
that the inhabitants of the plague
stricken districts will reach there un-
less more vigilance is used with pre-
ventative measures to keep them back.
[ am not actuated by any feeling of
prejudice against any particular race,
but the voice of the hosts of the
heavens should be hardened unto,
and, if by MATHEMATICAL scheme we
can deduct certain facts potentious
to the Caucasian race. They should be
given and followed. In fact all the
East India country will be next in
order of magnitude to China. Africa
next, Europe next, and America next.
The Atlantic States will suffer more
than Pacific, South America more than
North America, and California will be
last and least sufferer of this most
malignant plague era the world has
ever known. The plague is not only
what the perihelia brings US, but it
will be accompanied by war, discord,
civil strife. floods, famine, and anar-
chy, with all It's horrors, will reign
from 1880 to 1888.
La 1887 the ''Star of Bethlehem
will be once more seen IN Cassiopia's
Chair" and it will be accompanied
by total eclipse of the sun and moon.
This star only makes its appearance
every 3l5 years. 1t will appear and
illuminate the heavens and exceed
in brilliancy even Jupiter when in
opposition to the sun, and,
therefore, making the earth the
brightest, exceeding the bril-
liancy of the Star of Bethlehem"
in 1887, will surpass Of its pre-
vious visitations and be seen at
monday, shining with quick fash
ing light the entire year after which
it will gradually decrease in brightness
and finally disappear not to return to
our heavens until the year 2202, or
315 years from 1887. This star first
attracted the attention of modern
astronomers in the year 1872. 1t was
then called new star. 1t was no
new star, however, for this was the
star that shone so brightly 4 B. c.,
and was the star that illuminate the
heavens at the Nativity Of Christ. 1t
has roappeared every SO years since,
and every educated astrologer is GER
tain that it will appear in August
1887. The appearance of this star,
accompanied as it will be by solar and
lunar eclipses, together with the bale
full influence that follows the position
that Mars and Saturn will occupy, will
cause an universal war and poten-
tious floods and fearful shipwrecks.
North America will be involved in
civil strife, a reign of terror will
prevail in the Atlantic States, unless
a Napoleon arises to quell it. There
will be war of classes. the rich will
