These circumstances recall Professor
Grimmer's prophecies that from 1881 10
1857, the passage of tho five great planets
Mars, Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus and Sa.
turn.-afound thesun would produce strange
and wonderful phenomena. He says: THE
waters OF the earth will become more or less
poisonous. The air will be foul with nois-
ONE odors. Ancient races will disappear
from the earth" He attempts to prove his
prophecy by the fact that In l72o, when
Mars and Saturn made their passage around
the sun coincidentaly, great destruction
and mortality Visited all parts OF the globe.
He also found the same results in previous
pereheion passages Of the planets, and ar
CUES that these circumstances always pro-
duce epidemics and destructive diseases
which will Saffle the skill of the most emf
nent physicians; that the poor will die by
thousands the weak and incorporate falling
first, those whose blood has been impover-
ished by excess of work or dissipation next
and only those who are in comparative Wig
or shall escape to enjoy the era OF renowned
activity and prosperity which will follow
the period Of destruction.
Inasmuch as the entire world gems SUBJ
iect to the sway of the heavenly bodies no
part of the earth. he thinks, can escape
scourging. He even predicts that America
will lose over ten millions Of people; thai
farmers will be stricken with fear and
cease to till the soil. that famine will make
human misery more wretched. That hun
dreds will fee to overcrowded cities for aid
In vain, That sudden changes in ocean cur
rents, temperature and surroundings will
entirely transform the face vi nature and
climate of countries; that the air will be so
foul with malaria and other noxious gases;
that those who survive vii! be troubled with
disorders OF the digestive organs. That
many who escape other Ills will bloat with
dropsy and suddenly pass away, while 9TH
ers will grow thin and drag ont a miserable
existence in Understandable agony Tor weeks.
Neuralgia Pains in different parts OF the
body will torment them. They will easily
tire and become respondent. A faint, hot
feeling will be succeeded by chilly sensa-
lions while Authorizations and dread of i'm
pending ill will paralyze all effort. The
birds of the air, the beasts in the field and
even the fish of the sea will become dis
eased, poisoning the air aud poisoning the
waters of the globe" We are told on the
other hand that those who shall pass
through this period of trial will have larger
enjoyment of life and health. The earth
will yield more abundantly than ever be
fore. The animal kingdom will be NOR
prolific aud life prolonged very materially.
This prolopgation of life will be owing to
the healthy electric and magnetic intin-
ences that will pervade the atmosphere. 1T
would perhaps seem that the present red.
ness the sun, and the presence OF a belt
or veil of cosmic matter, justified In
measure, the prediction of Professor Grim
mer, bat disturb bling as his prediction may be
we are told for our comfort that TIE strong
and pure blooded need have little to tear in
these calamities, that those who's delicate
or indisposed should adopt means to keep
the system well supported and the blood
pure and that the most philosophical and
effective method of accomplishing this is to
keep the kidneys and liver in good condi-
ton. From the testimonials of such men
as DR.. Die Lewis and Professor r. A. Gum,
Al. D., Dean of the United States medical
college, New York, and thousands OF intiu-
entail non-professionsl people, 1t seems al
most certain that for this purpose there is
no preparation known to science equal to
Warmers Safe Cure, better known as War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. This
medicine has acquired the finest reputation
of any preparation that was ever put upon
the market. 1t is a radical blood purifier,
which sooths and heals all infamed organs,
strengthens the nervous system, washes out
all evidences of decay, regulates digestion,
prevents malassimilation OF food in phil
os0phical and rational manner, fortifies the
system against climatic changes and ma
Iarial influences and the destructive agen-
cies which seem to be so abundant in these
"evil days"
1t is not our purpose to dispute the cor
rectness OF Professor Grimmer's prophecies.
AS we have said the marked disturbances
OF the past few years would seem TO give q
semblance ofverifieation of his theory. 1t
is certain, as above stated, that we are pas.
sing through what may be regarded as a
crucial period and it is the part of wise
men not to ignore. but to learn TO fortify
themselves against the possibility of being
overcome by these evils. 1t is a duty
which each man owes to himself, and his
fellows, to mitigate as much as possible the
suffering of humanity and in no way better
can be accomplish thie purpose than 70 see
to it that he, himself, is fortified by the best
known preparation in the strongest possible
manner and that he exert the influence OF
his own example upon his fellows to the
end that they, too, may share with him i'm.
munity from tho destructive influences
which seek his ruin.
