"And if, as this man of science tells us, "a connection of some mysterious species between the sun and the earth is more than suspected" ... and the problem is an extremely important one "to be solved" how much more important is then the solution to this other mystery - the undoubted affinity between man and the stars - an affinity that has been believed for innumerable ages and by the most learned of men! Certainly the fate of a person deserves as much attention as that of a turnip or a potato. . . And if disease of the latter can be scientifically predicted, whenever that plant grows during a "sunspot period" , then why should not life in sickness or health, natural or violent death be equally scientifically predicted by the location and appearance of the constellation with which man is so directly connected and which has the same relationship to him as the sun has to earth?"
