NUMEBRS AND DISEASE, PLANETARY SIGNIFICANCE OF BERBAL CURES

In some of my recent articles in the Press I gave an account of the various diseases that are associated with persons born under the numbers that make their birth date. I have received so many letters testifying to the accuracy of this system and begging me to give further information as to indications from occultism regarding the cure of diseases, that I have much pleasure in giving in this chapter the names of herbs that are beneficial to persons born under the different numbers.

To keep in good health is one of the essentials to success in life, and in following these rules I feel sure my readers can only benefit by this advice.

The same students of occultism who discovered the extraordinary influence of numbers in connection with the destiny of individuals, also discovered the sympathy of certain plants, fruits, and herbs that in the world of nature are related to the planets and months of the year in which people are born, and so evolved a system by which pain and illness can be alleviated by the use of such herbs, or fruits which correspond to each planet and consequently to the number of birth.

I have collected this information from some of the most ancient sources of knowledge on occultism and from those who have devoted their lives to the investigation of the subject. To this I have added my own lifelong experience, in the belief that by the study of nature we may find the secrets

of nature and so honour nature’s God by fitting in with His purpose ad design, which is shown in all things, from the smallest to the greatest.

Number 1 persons, or all those born on the 1st, 10th, 19th, and 28th of any month, have a tendency to suffer from the heart in some form or another, such as palpitation, irregular circulation, and in advanced life, high blood-pressure. They are likely to have trouble with the eyes, or astigmatism, and would do well to have their sight carefully tested from time to time.

The principal herbs and fruits for number 1 persons, or all those whose birth number is the 1st, 10th, 19th or 28th, are:

Raisins, camomile. Eye-bright, St. John’s word, saffron, cloves, nutmeg, sorrel, borage, gentian root, lavender, bay leaves, oranges, lemons, dates, thyme, myrrh, musk vervain, ginger, barley (barley bred and barley water). Number 1 persons should eat honey as much as possible.
