CAREY'S booklet, uTize Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac," has seen many editions; but it was not until 1906 that I secured my first copy, and, mentally hungry for truth, eagerly devoured its pages. Such actual meat and drink it was to me, so fascinatingly interesting, that I 'vas convinced at once of its immeasurable value to humanity. That realization became intensified, year after year, as constant experience and intensive research work furnished conclusive proof. I believe that the day is not far distant when Dr. Carey will be acclaimed as one of the world's greatest benefactors. In this chaotic and materialistic age he discovered and published a priceless key, that which unlocks the door to mental as well as physical health. The understanding and use of this key will accomplish the physio-chemical process where- by mankind maj' regenerate. This means the slow but sure rise from physical and mental degeneracy, disease, unhappiness, and death to that glorious state which is the heritage of every one-perfection. Thus will be consummated the Scriptural injunction, "Be ye therefore perfect even as your fathoc in heaven is perfect." Matt. 5 :48. The great majority of people will be startled, if, indeed, not actually shocked, by the statement which fifteen years of earnest research and experience causes me to make. Duty and a sincere wish to help humanity are also contributing factors, but there is another and more powerful reason. Our solar system is entering, once again in the cycles of the ages, the sign of Aquarius, the Son of Man, and those who know the Truth, or any part of it, must write, speak, and live it. Aquarius is the humanitarian, or human sign, and the planet ( vibra- [v] THE ZODIAC AND Tl-IE SALTS OF SALVATJO:S tion) Uranus is the ruler of this division of the zodiac, which is the path of the solar system. Therefore, as this is the J1 ge of Truth, those who work with and for it are working in harmony with natural law, while those who follow the opposite course will wonder why they are not prospering. To prosper means to have sufficient for one's necessities, to be physically and mentally comfortable. It is only trutlz that matters; opi11iot1s do not count. Dr. Carey was not interested in the latter, he was an iconoclast. He felt impelled to make scientific statements no matter how they were received. My rnethod (and purpose) is the same as his. I aspire to give out facts as I know and have proved them to be. Therefore, please consider, carefully and earnestly, the following statement which should be written in letters of flame: A /(now/edge of, and the practice of, the proceJs necessary to the attainntent of perfection is absolutely' impossible without a tlzoro~gh understanding of ph)'Siological chemistry. This Dr. William Schuessler furnished in his Biochemic System of Medicine, and the perfect key was supplied by Dr. Cnre)' in his allocation ot the biological salts with tlze zodiacal signs. The truth o the foregoing statement is as definite and real to me as the fact that I live, move and have my being. I wish it could be made even more emphatic so that it would be engraved forever on the minds of those who read it. Dr. Schuessler's system is the only true system of medicine, for it is the method of supplying the blood with its component parts. The Bible most truly states a great chemical fact ( Leviticus 17 :11 ) in the following words: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood-for it is the b]ood that maketh an atonement for the soul." As the blood is the life of the flesh, it naturally follows that, as man is a trinity (body, or flesh, soul and spirit), the quality, condition, or health of his body determines that of his soul, which corresponds in exact degree. The word "atonement'' means at-one-ment or harmony. If the blood \Vere chemically perfect, the highly differentiated and attenuated nerve and glat~dular fluids, which constitute the soul, "'"ould also be perfect. It is only when the blood is chemically perfect that the full quota of Spirit, othcr\vise God- po\Ve r, can enter the hoJ y, for "I J ike attracts 1ike., [vi ] INTRODUCTION TO PART ONE The study of Schuessler's Biochemistry enables us to become acquainted with the different kinds of material or basic sub- stances which the Great Chemist and Architect of the Universe created as a medium for the Spirit, which is Life. Spirit manifests imperfectly when material is deficient. Deficiency means dis-ease, lack of ease, inharmony, imper- fection. Dormant, unhealthy, or imperfect brain cells do not make for an efficient brain. Thought corresponds to the nature and condition of the brain cells, for they constitute our thought machine, and the quality and value of that which it brings forth depend entirely on its condition. Herein lies the e."Cplanation of all the trouble in the world, sin, rrime, disrase, death, unhappiness, insanity, fear, coward- ice, lack of poJitivity, differences in opinions and the wars of nations and peoples. Each one of us represents a consensus or aggregate of vibrations, a sum total of those present in Nature at the time we come into birth. Indeed, it is what makes birth possible. A certain rate of vibration is manifesting at that particular time and a corresponding result is produced. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Sow- ing and reaping, reaping and sowing constitute birth and death. If we were not responsible for the kind of life we live, we would not then be accountable for the form of death which we attract. Is it not, then, equally logical that a reincarnating ego must, because of the vibratory law of attraction, come to birth in an environment and into conditions which are decided by this self-same la~,? Other\vise j_ustice would not exist. Justice is conformity to divine law. It is the working out, the ex- pression or administration of law-doing the right thing be- cause it is the best. In Greek mythology, which constitutes the sacred and secret writings of that people, we find this statement which, it seems to me, agrees perfectly with the foregoing. "Amphion built the walls of Thebes {the human head) by charming {produc- ing a harmonious vibration) the stones {mineral elements) into their places by the music of his lyre." (The lyre is a cer- tain marvelous organ in the head.) It is a poetical way of stating that the human head, which is the beginniug of the human body, is formed according to a ' vibratory Ia\\', for by it tlze very mineral atoms are grouped [vii] THE ZoDIAC AND THE SALTs OF SALVATION together and cells fornzed. The meaning of Thebes is head. It was originally a physiological term. Showing the chemical correspondence of the mineral salt Kali phos, or phosphate of potassium, to the highest part of the head, the cerebrum, alone elevates Dr. Carey to the heights where honor and gratitude should forever be accorded him. For this salt is the dynamic material which generates spiritual elertricity, and ensouls the physical form with life. And this is only one of his t"'·elve astounding allocations. For astrology, that synthesizer of all knowledge, both cosmic and microcosmic, in the universe and in man, reveals to us why Kali phos is the Aries salt. This substance, through which the 1\tlost High manifests in man, is the cause of actual life in his form. And to the degree in '"hich the cerebro-spinal nerves are supplied with it, will energy or life manifest in and through him. The light of intelligence (Spirit or Father) will burn brightly if this substance, which alone can feed it, is sufficiently and adequately furnished. Therefore: a perfect supply of the right chemical elements means perfect cells, a perfect brain, perfect thought, perfect acts, pcrfectiotl-l\ GOD-MAN I In contributing the foregoing I bespeak my deep and lasting gratitude to Dr. George W. Carey for ·the chemical light which he has thrown on dark places. Reader, Truth is the water of life I May you drink deeply, and begin to learn how to live forever I "And 1~t pati~nc~ have its perfect \vork, thnt ye may be PERFECT' and ENT'IRE ~nd LACK NOTHING."-james 1:4. THE BIR'"fH OF THE AUTHOR, "THE SAINT GEORGE" OF BIOCHEMISTRY BY u. EDITII F. A. PAINTON ·rime, September 7th, 184S, 4 :4S P. M. ENTER-R. L. U.-SAINT GEORGE It was on September seventh, in eighteen hundred forty-five, The planets of the heavens were wonderfully alive; Luna was well in Scorpio, with Sol in Virgo's light, \Vhilc \tenus was exalted, just between, in Libra bright. Said Luna, "Listen, Venus I although we are semi-square, It's up to you and me to send to Earth a spirit rare; That dark star's out of tune, and needs a strong, awakening soul Like those that you, fair Queen of Art, do beauti fully control! "Let's send down to the Earth today-today, but ne'er againOne of those -~!chemists of life they call September men l A genius, Venus-listen from your Occult House, I pray, A genius of that Virgin soil that must all Science sway.'

A genius we might send, but Oh I what MUST we send him through?" "Naught cares a genius,, Luna smiled; "send him through hottest hell, He'll smile, and take his way unmoved, declaring all is well! I've picked the man-with heart of gold-an OR of vital force, And at the proper hour, we'll speed the soul upon its course I" Still Venus hesitated-" But Mercury, what of him? He's in his night-house, don't you see, where a11 his force is dim I [ix] THE ZoDIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATION And Jove opposed, you see"- "Be still," said Luna, "he Is close behind Old Sol, in Seventh, 'vhere l\'lesscngers should bel "i\nd as for Jupiter, of course I'd rather he would smile, But if he won't-he'll have to frown another little while; \Ve'll fix him in Third House to make a man of broadest mind, A Father of Big Thought, a chief and leader of his kind I'' "But Luna-ran you think it safe? The Dragon is at rest, Its Head within religion's house \\'here all is at its best; Its Tail down in the lower mind-0 what a po\vcr today I But this Saint George would saunter forth this heavenly beast to slay I" A deep bass growl from distant space rolled through the home of spheres, And Venus drew near Luna, seeking solace for her fears. "Hush I don't let grim old Saturn hear, or He'll retard the plan, And cast his gloom o'er all our works in every way he can I" "Eclipse for Saturn and his frowns," said Luna, full of scorn, "Let !VIars and Neptune in first house the leading aspects form; While Uranus, defying both, will leap o'er all that bars, And lure to earth to plead for us a student of the stars I" "He is the one to ever rule the true Aquarian born, So what care we for Saturn's chill, or Mar's malignant scorn?

California, February 19, 1916. Note. Mrs. Painton ,,·ill be remembered by many of the older astrologers and c!pccially by the Fellows of the American Academy. [xi J IN 1\tiEMORI.i\M Dr. George \'1ashington Carey was born in Dixon, Illinois, on September 7th, 1845, and was one of a large family of children. His father's name was John Carey, and bore the relation of g;and-nephew to John Quincy Adams. On his mother's side, a grandfather served with General IVI arion during the Revolution. His mother's name was Ruth Odell. \Vhen George Carey \vas about a year and a half old, the Careys left Illinois and came by covered wagon to Oregon, a journey of six months. The motion picture entitled ''The Covered \Vagon'' gives an extremely realistic presentation of the main features of that trip and Dr. Carey greatly enjoyed see1• ng 1• t. He had very little schooling, but his parents were well qualified to teach him the fundamentals. His father 'vas well known for his humorous verses which embodied much of Irish wit. As a child George \Vas very delicate, his parents being doubtful that he would gro\v to manhood. His earlier years 'vere spent on a farm, the evenings enlivened by music. Later on, he became leader of the village orchestra. In his early forties he became the first Postmaster of Yakima, Washington, and held the position for several terms. Hearing of the science of biochemistry, he resigned to devote his life to its study. Together "·ith a number of physicians, Dr. Carey founded the ColJege of Biochemistry in Yakima, \\7ashington, and a few students enrolled and graduated, among them being the College founders; but, as this was many years ago, not much interest in the svbjcct was aroused, and the project was given up because of lack of support. Dr. Chapman was one of those taking the course, and the book \vhich he 'vrote on biochemistry has been a popular household 'vork. Today this science is coming before the 'vorld, seemingly by leaps. and bounds. Schools devoted to the teaching of biochemistry in a practical way are starting up in many states of the l\tl iddlc \'7est, and entire families are learning ho'v to [xii] IN ME~10RIAM supply their blood deficiencies. After years of almost heartbreaking pioneering, of almost utter dtscouragement, on the part of its advocates, the science is now fast becoming recog- nized. In 1928, I believe, the Eclectic College of Chiro- practic of Los Angeles added biochemistry to its curriculum. IVIost people are not aware that biochemistry is an ancient Sanscrit sc1ence. Once again the cycle has appeared, upon \vhose wave it is borne. \\7hen Dr. Carey wrote his work on The Biochemic System of !v!edicine, its first press recognition was in a Health Magazine published by biochemic physicians in India. It stated: "We are glad to see that a western brother is helping to bring back the ancient science of biochemistry.'' The book referred to above is now in its twenty-third edition. Years ago, when Dr. Carey wrote this treatise, he was financially unable to publish it, and sold the copyright to the I_Juyties Pharmacal Company, of St. Louis. Old Dr. Luyties, the founder of the firm, as well as Dr. Boericke, had interviewed Dr. William Schuessler, the originator of biochemistry, in Oldenburg, Germany. They learned his method of preparing the cell salts or mineral constituents of the blood, and pre- sented it in this country. Since Dr. Carey's death in 1924, the last edition of his book was re-edited by a Dr. Arthur Perry, and it has lost its old familiar aspect. The writer of this art1cle is now preparing a new and up-to-date edition com- bining with the science of astrology. This will enable any- one to \\'ork out his or her own individual chemical plan from the birrh data. It was Dr. Carey, who, in one of those strange and rare moments which come to those who seek, ascribed to each sign of the zodiac its corresponding chemical element or salt (salt is an old term for "earth"), and wrote The Relation of the /v[inera I Sa IIs of Ilz e Bod)' Io the Sig tz s of 1/ze Zodiac, the most unique \Vork of the century and the most valuable. It has been regrettable that so many have copied this work, plagiarists "'ho have never mentionea his name as the distinguished author. Recently a Chicago magazine carried an advertisement, much of which 'vas copied, "~ord for 'vord, from one of his circulars, no credit given and no quotation marks used. Because the \vork was never copyrighted by Dr. Carev is no excuse for not giving the author credit for it. It is ~for [xiii] THE ZODIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATION the purpose of emphasizing this, and securing for him permanent recognition, that this fourteenth edition is combined with some new writings of my own, and copyrighted. •-\nd as it is the fourteenth in the series, it means a new product, the mystical fruit of a new age, the Aquarian, concerning which Dr. Carey often 'vrote and spoke. It is a new product, becauc;e for tlze first time it is definite!)' stated to be tlze Key to Ph)'sical Regeneration and Spiritual Illumination. The fourteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is N, spelled Nun in that language. Its literal interpretation is fish, (fruit or progeny.) In the Biblical story, Joshua was the son of Nun, and Joshua is the origin of the Latiniz.ed form, Jesus. Therefore Jesus also means fish. It is common knowledge that the fish ha~ been the esoteric symbol for two thousand years, at least, for the Son of Man. This \vill be dealt with at great length under Virgo, the sixth lesson or chapter. This edition, then, is symbolic of all that the letter N means,-the nrw nzan, for it gives information relative to the necessary material required to produce, or create that new man. Dr. Carey also gave to the world the formula for bio- plasma, which is a combination of the twelve inorganic salts of the blood, combined in the proportion which he considered necessary to create healthy, or chemically perfect blood. Those who are familiar with his book, The Biochemic System of Medicine, feel that he improved greatly the appli- cation of Schuessler's system. More and more information is being constantly obtained, so that still further contributions wilJ be made to this invaluable science. As the Scriptures state-u~-1// things work together for good," and until we learn "·hat they are and apply them, '\re can not hope to arrive at the perfect state. Some years after becomiAg interested in biochemistry, Dr. Carey edited a small magazine dealing with this subject, and containing also humorous articles and poems from his pen. His Chernistry of the Cosnzos found many appreciative read- ers, as it contained unusual poems as 'veil as articles of a sci enti fi~ nature. One 'vhich 'vas especially valued \\'as entitled It, and dealt \vith the one universal esse from 'vhich all things originate and to 'vhich they eventually return. His explanation of slang phrases is very interesting as 'veil as instructive, for he brings out the fact that they are b:1sed on truth and that the Cosmic l\·1 ind or planetary vibra- [xiv] IN MEMORIAM tion, impinging (the same as radio waves) on the human brain at a certain time causes mental electricity to etch in a certain manner on the wax-like brain cells. Hence thoughts are produced relative to particular subjects. In just this way public or mass interest is aroused along definite lines. Great truths are thus expressed in a manner attractive to the great majority of minds, stepped down, we may say, into a vernacular whtch is "catchy," while the idea back of it all ic; comprehended only by a few. Not only was Dr. Carey deeply interested in life's chemical mysteries, but his searching mind longed to solve the ~reatest of all, that of physical regeneration and spiritual illumination, and the plan or process necessary for its attainment. Hiram Butler's theory appealed to him and he began his researches along that line, finding at last that God, Word, seed, fish, Jesus and progeny are words synonymous in meaning, and when understood from their etymological derivation, will unlock the door of the Inner Mystery. He discovered that esse1 the substance of being, the elixir of life-in other words the brain or life substance-is the protoplasmic seed material which is found to be the possession of every human being. The Herculean task or great work which everyone must perform, eventually, is the purification and perfection of this material, for it then becomes the Christ or Holy Oil. The astounding revelation of what this means came to Dr. Carey when he had passed his seventieth year, and he went forth bravely to give it to the world. He found, at a late day, what he had been searching for all his life, the greatest secret of all. It is not hidden from anyone, but each hides it from himself because of mental inability to grasp it. And thus he set his feet, at last, upon the rung of the ladder which leads back home to God or good. To find that rung and set one's feet thereon is the day of all days for every human being. Then one must begin the climb. Literally, it means that one is endeavoring to BECOME a Christian, to make a new being of one's self. To become a Christian does not refer to a belief that a certain man was killed by 2 mob in order that our sins might be forgiven. In fact that is utter nonsense, for it would make null and void the law of cause and effect, and contradict point blank the declaration that we must "Work out our own salvation." It truly must be worked out, for it is a definite process, physiological and mental, and hence moral. [xv] THE ZODIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATION The climb to the heights is not the work of one lifetime, but of many, for the simple reason that it is too great a task to accomplish in a few short years. "Know the truth and the truth shall set you free," the Bible states. Yes, free from pain, sickness, sorrow and death, for truly death is "the last enemy to be overcome." Death, aside from accident, is the result of dis-ease, inharmony in the chemical elements of the blood, hence cell starvation. Therefore we 'vill overcome death when we know enough to live. One link of the chain of bondage (ignorance) falls off at a time, until we are free. Dr. Carey's initial attempt to give out information relative to the subject of occult physiology and the process of redemption and salvation was a book entitled The Tree of Life. It was this publication which gave me my first insight into the real natu~·e of the Scriptures and occult works in general. I realized that they were a compilation of scientific facts about mankind, physiological, anatomical, chemical, and metaphysical. Later on, after beginning the study of esot~ric astrology, I realized that this noble science synthesized them all. I found it a veritable treasure house of facts, and dug deeply and am still digging in this mine of wealth. In his seventy-second year Dr. Carey offered me a partnership, which was accepted and purchased. Like his, my interest was, is, and will be entirely along these lines. In 1923, the work of the Los Angeles office was taken over by me and hr. sailed for Australia, his plan being to spend some time there. However, the long and tiresome trip and arduous work in a new field was more than he should have attempted. He mapped out too much work, too many lectures. He felt he must not lose a moment, that the great message must be given without ceasing, humanity's need was so great and the time so short. It was short for him, as he was nearing his eightieth year, and short also for those who had not yet turned to higher things. Earth is preparing once again for great changes, as the solar system nears the constellation of Aquarius. The 2160 years required for it to pass through its atmosphere is termed the Aquarian Age or the Age of the Son of Man. Humanity must begin to look upward, for it will be forced to by this very vibration. The mind must begin to expand and the animal-man at last make a decided effort to purify himself of his animal nature and become really humane. Then will humanity work with Nature and not against [xvi] IN MEMORIAM her, and thus, indeed, will the very earth be made new. "And there shall be a new heaven and a new earth." Dr. Carey and I together revised and enlarged The Tree of Life, and as co-authors published God-Man, The Word Made Flesh, together with a large physiological chart giving much data on occult physiology, and indicating the positions of the seven great nerve centers or chakras, otherwise the Seven Churches of Asia. This work has seen three editions. It is temporarily out of print awaiting the completion of a mass of new material which will be added to it. Dr. Carey also published two other books, The Chemistry of Life, and The ChemistT)' and Wonders of the Human Body. Returning to the states from his trip to Australia, he went to San Diego to lecture, and on the 17th day of November, 1924, stepped forth from his physical vehicle. His wish that it be cremated was fulfilled. The Grand Army, of which he was a member, had charge of the services. To those who ask the question, "\Vhy did not the cell food and his belief in physical regeneration cause him to live longer," I will say that the answer has already been given. He found the key to physical regeneration only after he had passed seventy. The process is not of one life, one incarna.. tion, but of many. Only those unfamiliar with this subject ask that question. He lived, at that, longer than the average person, even though beginning life with a very sensitive, delicate body. Constantly engaged in strenuous work, he accomplished more at seventy years of age along that line than the average man of fifty, and he traveled and lectured up to the very last. Dr. Carey's mentality was of a mercurial type, Mercury and the Sun having been in Virgo at birth, therefore he was critical and analytical. When lecturing, he would make a tremendously iconoclastic statement relative to some astounding fact and, without explaining, soar on his Mercury wings to more loftv heights. Resting for a moment, his audience v.:ould be blinded by another flash from the mighty sword of Truth; but he left it to them to fill in the intervening space, and very few could. His flights into mental ether where facts are born were so lofty that his journey was a lonely one. His was a truly scientific mind which nothing but facts could satisfy, and he demanded facts of others. In his early forties he gave up smoking and never took liquor in any form whatsoever, as he realized what effect they [xvii] THE ZODIAC A~D THE SALTS OF SALVATION both had on the delicate tissues, membranes and glands of the body which the Scriptures call "THE TEMPLE OF GOD." In this incarnation he did the best he could to utilize and work out the truths he had contacted. Many people all over the country tell me that the information which Dr. Carey gave forth in his writings and lectures have been the means of opening up an entirely new vista of life to them, and they bless him for it. \Ve, too, bless him, and radio our gratitude to him in the realm of the unseen where he is waiting. When the time is ripe and the astrological moment arrives which will produce the vibration necessary for his reappearance in the objective, may he come forth again in physical manifestation to go on with the work he loved so well.

In its relation to so-called disease this system uses the inorganic salts, known as cell-salts, or tissue builders. The constituent parts of man's body are perfect principles, -namely, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, lime, iron, potash, soda, silica, magnesia, etc. These elements, gases, etc., are perfect per se, but may be endlessly diversified in combination as may the planks, bricks or stones with which a building is to be erected. A shadow can not be removed by chemicals; neither can disease be removed by poison. There is nothing (no thing) to be removed in either case; but there is a deficiency to be supplied. The shadow may be removed by supplying light to the space covered by the shadow. So symptoms, called disease, disappear or cease to manifest when the food called for is furnished. The human body is a receptacle or a storage battery, and will always run well while the chemicals are present in proper quantity and combination, as surely as an automobile will run v;hen charged and supplied with the necessary ingredients to vibrate or cause motion. The cell-salts are found in all our foods, and are thus carried into the blood, where they carry on the process of life, [21] THE ZODIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATION and by the law of chemical affinity keep the human form, bodily functions, materialized. When a deficiency occurs in any of these workers through a non-assimilation of food, roor action of liver or digestive process, dematerialization o the body commences. So disease is a deficiency in some of the chemical constituents that carry on the chemistry of life and not an entity. Having le~rned that disease is not a thing, but a condition . · . ~Jue~ ~Q l::t\k of some inorganic constituent of the blood, it fol.· ·. · . low~. nat~ rally that the proper method of cure is to supply . : . . -: th~ bl~od with that which is lacking. In the treatment of dis- ·... -'. :- : ·.ease the ·us~- of anything not a constituent of the blood is unnecessary. Dr. Charles W. Littlefield, analytical chemist, says: ..The tw~lve mineral salts are, in a very real sense, the material basis of the organs and tissues of the body and are absolutely essential to their integrity of structure and functional activity. Experiments prove that the various tissue cells \\·ill rapidly disintegrate in the absence of the proper proportion of these salts in rhe circulating fluid. \~lhereas the maintenance of this proportion insures healthy growth and perpetual renen·al. "These 1nineral salts are, therefore, the physical basis of all healing. Regardless of the school emplo.\·ed, if these are absent from the blood and tissues, no permanent cure is possible." ESOTERIC CHEMISTRY In this strenuous a~e of reconstruction, while God's creative compounds are iorm1ng a new race in the morning of a new age, all who desire physical regeneration should strive by every means within their reach to build new tissue, nerve fluids and brain cells, thus literally making "new bottles for the new wine." For be it known to all men that the word "wine" as used in Scripture, means blood when used in connection with man. It also means the sap of trees and juice of vegetables or fruit. The parable of turning water into wine at the marriage of Cana in Galilee is a literal statement of a process taking place every heart-beat in the human organism. Galilee means a circle of water or fluid-the circulatory system. Cana means a dividing place-the lungs. In the Greek, "a place of reeds," or cells of lungs that vibrate sound. Biochemists have shown that food does not form blood, but simply furnishes the mineral base by setting free the inorganic or cell..salts contained in all food-stuff. The organic part, oil, fibrin, albumen, etc., contained in food is burned or digested [22] EsoTERIC CHEMISTRY in the stomach and intestinal tract to furnish motive power to operate the human machine and draw air into lungs, thence into arteries; i.e., air carriers. Therefore, it is clearly proved that air (spirit) unites with the minerals and forms blood, proving that the oil, albumen, etc., found in blood, is created every breath at the "marriage in Cana of Galilee." Air was called water or pure sea, viz: Virgin Mar-y. So '\\'e see ho\\,. water is changed into wine-blood-every moment. In the new age, we will need perfect bodies to correspond with the higher vibration, or motion of the new blood, for "old bottles (bodies) can not contain the new wine." Another allegorical statement typifying the same truth reads, "And I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth," i.e., a new mind and a new body. Biochemistry may well say with Walt Whitman: "To the sick lying on their backs I bring help, and to the strong, upright man I bring more needed help." To be grouchy, cross, irritable, despondent or easily discouraged, is prima facie · evidence that the fluids of the stomach, liver and brain are not vibrating at normal rate, the rate that results in equilibrium or health. Health cannot be qualified; i.e., poor health; or good health. There must be either health or dishealth; ease or disease. We do not say poor ease or good ease. \Ve say ease or disease, viz., not at ease. A sufficient amount of the cell-salts of the body, properly combined and taken as food-not simply to cure some ache, pain or exudation-forms blood that materializes in healthy fluids, flesh and bone tissue. \Ve should take the tissue cell-salts as one uses health foods, not simply to change not-health to health, but to keep the rate of blood vibration in the tone of health all the time. THE ULTIMATE OF BIOCHEMISTRY The microscope increases the rate of motion of the cells of the retina and we see things that were occulted to the natural rate of vibration of sight cells. Increase the rate of activity of brain cells by supplying more of the dynamic molecules of the blood known as mineral or cell-salts of lime, potash, sodium, iron, magnesia, silica; and we see, mentally, truths that we could not sense at lower or natural rates of motion, although the !ower rate may manifest ordinary health. [23] THE ZonrAc AND THE SALTs OF SALVATION Natural man, or natural things, must be raised from the level of nature to super-natural, in order to realize new con- cepts that lie waiting for recognition above the solar plexus; that is, above the animal or natural man. The positive pole, or being, must be "lifted up" from the kingdom of earth, animal desire below the solar plexus, to the pineal gland which connects the cerebellum, the temple of the Spiritual Ego, with the optic thalamus, the third eye. By this regenerative process millions of dormant cells of the brain are resurrected and set in operation, and then man no longer "sees through a glass darkly," but with the eye of spiritual understanding. To those who object to linking chemistry with astrology, the writer has this to say: The Cosmic I . aw is not in the least disturbed by negative statements of the ignorant individual. Those investigators of natural phenomena, who delve deeply to find truth, pay little heed to the dabbler who says, "I can't understand how the zodiacal signs can have any relation to the cell-salts of the human !>ody." The sole reason that he "cannot understand" is because he never tried to understand. •~ little earnest, patient study will open the understanding of anyone possessed of ordinary intelligence, and make plain tt..hee., great truth one verse. that the UNIverse is what the word implies; It logically follows that all parts of one thing are susceptible to the operation of any part. The human body is an epitome of the cosmos. Each sign of the zodiac is represented by the twelve func- tions of the body and the position of the Sun at birth. Therefore the cell-salt corresponding to the sign of the zodiac and function of the body is consumed more rapidly than other salts; and an extra amount is needed to supply the deficiency caused by the Sun's influence at that particular time. Space will permit only a brief statement of the awakening of humanity to great occult truths. However, the following from India will indicate the trend of new thought: "Doctor Carey's remarkable researches in the domain of healing art have left no stone unturned. His discovery of the zodiacal cell-salts has added a ne\v page in the genesis of healing art," \vrites Swaminatha Bomiah, M .B., Ph.D.Sc., F.I.A. C., in an article in Self-Culture Magazine, published at No. 105 1\rmenian St., G. T., I\rt adras, India. [24] ARIES THE TWELVE CELL-SALTS OF THE ZODIAC ARIES: "THE LAMB OF GOD" MARCI-l 21 TO APRIL 21. Astrologers have for many years waited for the coming discovery of a planet to rule the head or brain of man, symbolized in the "Grand Man" of the heavens by the celestial sign of the zodiac, regnant from March 21 to April 21. This sign is known as Aries-the Ram or Lamb. Angles of planets cause effects or influences. The priesthood of the middle ages, wishing to control the ignorant masses, personified the influence of planetary aspects, positions or angles, and transposed the letters so they spelled angel. Upon this one "slippery cog'' the stupendous frauds of ecclesiasticism were built. With the false teachings of the Church ingrained into the fiber of the brain of man, is it strange that for years before the advent of a new planet, with its added angle (influence), the brain cells of earth's inhabitants should be disturbed, as the effects of the coming storms disturb the fluids and mechanism of the weather forecaster's laboratory? The coming of Christ and the end of the world has been preached from every street corner for several years, and thousands, yea, millions, are pledging themselves to try to live as Christ lived or according to their concept of His life. No great movement of the people ever occurs without a scientific cause. The optic thalamus, meaning "light of the chamber," is the inner or third eye, situated in the center of the head. It connects the pineal gland and the pituitary body. The optic nerve starts from this "eye single." "If thine eye be single, thy whole body will be full of light." The optic thalamus is the Aries planet and when fully developed through physical regeneration (see God-Man; The Word Made Flesh), it lifts the initiate from the kingdom of earth, animal desire belov.· the solar plexus, to the pineal gland that connects the cerebellum, the temple of the Spiritual Ego, with the optic thalamus, the third eye. By this regenerative process millions of dormant cells of the brain are resurrected and set in operation, and then man no longer "sees through a glass darkly," but with the eye of spiritual understanding. [25] THE ZODIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATION I venture to predict that the planet corresponding to the optic thalamus will soon be located in the heavens. "The new order cometh., In ancient lore Aries was known as the "Lamb of God," or Gad, which represents the head or brain. The brain controls and directs the body and mind of man. The brain itself, however, is a receiver operated upon by celestial influences or angles (angels) and must operate according to the directing force or intelligence of its source of power. Man ~as been deficient in understanding because his brain receiver did not vibrate to certain subtle influences. The dynamic cells in the gray matter of the nerves were not finely attuned and did not respond-hence sin, or falling short of understanding. From the teachings of the chemistry of life we find that the ba~is of the brain or nerve fluid is a certain mineral salt known as potassium phosphate, or Kali phos. A deficiency in this brain constituent means "sin," or a falling short of judgment or proper comprehension. \Vith the advent of the Aries Lord, God, or planet, cell-salts are rapidly coming to the fore as the basis of all healing. Kali phosphate is the greatest healing agent known to man, because it is the chemical base of material expression and understanding. The cell-salts of the human organism are now being prepared for use, while poisonous drugs are being discarded everywhere. Kali phosphate is the especial birth salt for those born between March 21 and April 21. These people are brain workers, earnest, executive and determined-thus do they rapidly use up the brain vitalizers. Aries gems are amethyst and diamond. The astral colors are \\'hite and rose pink. In Bible alchemy Aries represents Gad, the seventh son of Jacob, and means "armed and prepared"-thus it is said when in trouble or danger, "keep your head., In the symbolism of the New Testament, Aries corresponds to the disciple Thomas. Aries people are natural doubters until they figure a thing out for themselves. [26] TAURUS TAURUS-'"THE WINGED BULL" OF THE ZODIAC APRIL 21 TO MAY 21. The ancients were not "primitive men." There never was a first man) nor a primitive man. Man is an eternal veritythe truth. Truth never had a beginning. The Winged Bull of Nineveh is a symbol of the great truth that substance is materialized air, and that all so-called solid substances may be resolved into air. Taurus is an earth sign, but earth (soul) is precipitated aerial elements. This chemical fact was known to the scientists of the Taurian age (over 4000 years ago) ; therefore they carved the emblem of their zodiacal sign with wings. Those born between the dates April 21 and May 21 can descend very deep into materiality or soar "High as that Heaven where Taurus wheels," as written by Edwin Markham, who is a Taurus native. What can be finer than the following from this noted Taurian, he who has sprouted the wings of spiritual concept: "It is a vision \\'aiting and 3\\'are, And you must bring it down, oh, men of worth, Bring do\\·n the New Republic hung in air And make for it foundations on the Earth." Air is the "raw material" for blood, and when it is dra\vn in, or breathed in, rather, by the "Infinite Alchemist,'' to the · blood vessels, it unites with the philosopher's stone, mineral salts, and in the human laboratory creates blood. So, then, blood is the elixir of life, the "Ichor of the Gods." The sulphate of sodium, known to druggists as Nat. sulph., chemically corresponds to the physical and mental character- istics of those boro in the Taurus month. Taurus is represented by the cerebellum, or lower brain, and neck. A deficiency in Natrium sulphate in the blood is always manifested by pains in the back of the head, sometimes ex- tending down the spine, and then affecting the liver. The first cell-salt to become deficient in symptoms of dis- ease in the Taurus native is Natrium sulphate. The chief office of Natrium sulphate is to eliminate ar. excess of water from the body. In hot weather the atmosphere becomes heavily laden with '\Vater and is thus breathed into the blood through the lungs. [27] THE ZODIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATION One molecule of the Taurus salt has the chemical fower to take up and carry out of the system two molecules o water. Blood does not become overcharged with water from the water we drink, but from an atmosphere overcharged with aqueous vapor drawn from water in rivers, lakes or swamps, by heat of th~ sun above seventy degrees in shade. The more surplus water there is to be thrown out of the blood, the mo:-e sodium sulphate required. All so-called bilious or malarial troubles are simply a chemical effect or action caused by deficient sulphate of soda. Chills and fever are Nature's method of getting rid of surplus water by squeezing it out of the blood through violent muscular, nervous and vascular spasms. No "shakes" or ague can occur if blood be properly balanced chemically. Governing planet: Venus. Gems: Moss-agate and emerald. Astral colors: Red and lemon yellow. In Bible alchemy, Taurus represents Asher, the eighth son of Jacob, and means blessedness or happiness. fn the symbolism of the New Testament, Taurus corres- ponds to the disciple Thaddeus, meaning firmness, or led by love. THE CHEl\·1ISTRY OF GEMINI • MAY 21 TO JuNE 21. One of the chief characteristics of the Gemini native is expression. The cell-salt Kali muriaticum (potassium chloride) is the mineral \vorker of blood that forms fibrin and properly diffuses it throughout the tissues of the body. This salt must not be confused with the chlorate of potash, a poison (chemical formula KCIOa). The formula of the chloride of potassium ( Kali mur) is KCl. 1\.ali mur molecules arc the principal agents used in the chemistry of life to build fibrin into the human organism. The skin that covers the face contains the lines and angles that give expression, and thus differentiates one person from another; therefore the maker of fibrin has been designated as the birth salt of the Gemini native. In venous blood fibrin amounts to three in one thousand [28] GEf\.fiNI parts. When the molecules of Kali mur fall below the standard, the blood fibrin thickens, causing what is known as pleurisy, pneumonia, catarrh, diphtheria, etc. When the circulation fails to throw out the thickened fibrin via· the glands or mucous membrane, it may stop the action of the heart. Embolus is a Latin word meaning little lump, or balls; therefore to die of embolus or "heart failure" generally means that the heart's action was stopped by little lumps of fibrin clogging the auricles and ventricles of the heart. When the hlood contains the proper amount of Kali mur, fibrin is functional and the symptoms referred to above do not manifest. Gemini means twins. Gemini is the sign which governs the {_Tni ted States. The astral colors of Gemini are red, white, and blue. While those who made our first flag and chose the colors, personally knew nothing of astrology, yet the Cosmic Law worked its will to give America the "red, white, and blue." Mercury is the governing planet of Gemini. The gems are beryl, aquamarine, and dark blue stones. In Bible alchemy, Gemini represents Issachar, the ninth son of Jacob, and means price, reward, or recompense. In the symbolic allegories of the New Testament, Gemini corresponds to the disciple Judas, which means service or necessity. The perverted ideas of an ignorant dark-age priesthood made "service and necessity" infamous by a literal rendering of the alchemical symbol, but during the present Aquarian age, the Judas symbol will be understood and the disciple of "service" will no longer have to submit to "third degree methods." CANCER: THE CHEMISTRY OF THE "CRAB" jUNE 21 TO jULY 22. Cancer is the mother sign of the zodiac. The mother's breast is the soul's first home after taking on flesh and "rending the Veil of Isis." The tenacity of those born between the dates June 21 and July 22, in holding on to a home or d'velling place is well illustrated by the crab's grip, and also by the fact that it carries its house along wherever it goes in order that it may be sure of a dwelling. [29] THE ZoDIAC AND TIIE SALTS OF SALVATION The angles (angels) of the twelve zodiacal signs materialize their vitalities in the human microcosm. Through the operation of chemistry, energy creating, the intelligent molecules of Divine substance make the "Word flesh.'' The corner stone in the chemistry of the crab is the inorganic salt fluoride of lime, known in pharmacy as Calcarea flourica. It is a combination of flourine and lime. \\"hen this cell-salt is deficient in the blood, physical and mental disease (not-at-ease) is the result. Elastic fiber is formed by the union of the fluoride of lime with albuminoids, whether in the rubber tree or the human body. All relaxed conditions of tissue (varicose veins and kindred ailments) are due to a lack of sufficient amount of elastic fiber to "rubber" the tissue and hold it in place. When elastic fiber is deficient in tissue of membrane between the upper and lower brain poles-cerebrum and cerebellumthere results a "sagging apart" of the positive and negative poles of the dynamo that runs the mach1nery of man. An unfailing sign or symptom of this deficiency is a groundless fear of financial ruin. While those born in any of the twelve signs may sometimes be deficient in Calcium fluoride, due to Mars or Mercury (or both) in Cancer at birth, Cancer people are more liable to symptoms indicating a lack of this elastic fiber-builder than are those born in other signs. · Whv should we search Latin or Greek lexicons to find a name for the result of a deficiency in some of the mineral constituents of blood? If we find a briar in our flesh, we say so in the plainest speech; we do not say, "I have the briatitis or splin traligia." \Vhen \Ve know that a deficiency in the cell-salts of the blood causes the symptoms that medical ignorance has dignified and personified '"ith names that nobody knows the meaning of, we will know how to heal scientifically by the unalterable law of the chemistry of life. \Vhen \Ve learn the cause of disease, then, and not before, \vill we prevent disease. Not through quarantine, nor disinfectants, nor "Boards of Health" will man reach the long sought plane of health; not through affinnations of health, nor denials of disease \Vill bodily regeneration be wrought; not by dieting or fasting or "F1etcherizing" or suggesting, will the elixir of life and the philosopher's stone be found. [30] LEO The ''merct;ry of the sages" and the "Hidden l'vt anna" are not constituents of health foods. Victims of salt baths and massage are bald before their time, and the alcohol, steam and Turkish bath fiends die young. ''Sic transit gloria mundi." \Vhen a man's body is made chemically perfect, the operations of mind will perfectly express. Gems belonging to the sign of the breast are black onyx and emerald; astral colors, green and russet-brown. Cancer is represented by Zebulum, the tenth son of Jacob, and means d\velling place or habitation. Matthew is the Cancer disciple. LEO: THE HE"o\RT OF THE ZODIAC JULY 22 TO "~ UGUST 23. The Sun overAO\Vs with divine energy. It is the "b rewp ot" that forever filters and scatters the "elixir of life.'' l"hose born while the Sun is passing through Leo, July 22 to ..~ugust 23, receive the heart vibrations, or pulses, of the Grand ~·I an, or "Circle of Beasts." All the blood in the body passes through the heart. So the Leo native is the recipient of every quality and possibility contained in the great halchemical vase," the "Son of Heaven." The impulsive traits of Leo people are symboled in the pulse, which is a reflex of heart throbs. The astronomer, by unerring law of mathematics applied to space, proportion, and the so-far..discovered wheels and cogs of the uni-machine, can tell where a certain planet must be located before the telescope has verified the prediction. So the astra-biochemist knows there must of necessity be a blood mineral and tissue builder to correspond with the materialized angle (angel) of the circle of the zodiac. The phosphate of magnesia, in biochemic therapeutics, is the remedy for all spasmodic impulsive symptoms. This salt suj>plies the deficient worker or builder in such cases and thus restores norrr,al conditions. A lack of muscular force, or nerve vigor, indicates a disturbance in the operation of the heart cell-salt, magnesia phosphate, which gives the "Lion's spring," or impulse, to the blood that throbs through the heart. [31] THE ZoDIAC A~D THE SALTS oF SALVATION Leo IS ruled by the Sun, and the children of that celestial sign are natural sun worshipers. Gold must contain a small per cent of alloy or base metal before it can be used commercially. Likewise the "Gold of Ophir''-Sun's rays, or vibration-must contain a high potency of the earth salt, magnesia, in order to be available for use in bodily function Thus through the chemical action of the inorganic (mineral and water) in the organic (Sun's rays and ether) does the volatile become fixed, and the \Vord become flesh. Leo people consume their birth salts more rapidly than they consume any of the other salts of the blood; hence they are often deficient in magnesium. Crude magnesia is too coarse to enter the blood through the delicate mucous membrane absorbents, and must be prepared according to the biochemic method before being taken into the blood. Gems of l.eo are ruby and diamond. .:\stral colors, red and green. The eleventh child of Jacob, Dinah, represents l..co and means judged. Simon is the Leo disciple. ''IRGO: THE \iiRGIN !VIi\RI" ..t\C'Gl!ST 23 TO SEPTE:\1BER 23. Virgin means pure. l\·fary, ~larie, or l\:Jare (!vlar) me:-~ns \Vater. The letter M is simply the sign of :\quarius, "The \Vater Bearer." Virgin i\f ary means pure sea, or \Vater. Jcsus is derived from a Greek word, meaning fish. Out of the pure sea, or water, comes fish. Out of woman,s body comes the "\Vord made flesh." .-\11 substance comes forth from air, '"hich is a higher potency of water. All subst£~nce is fish, or the substance of Jesus. This substar. ce is made to say, "Eat, this is l\1 y body ; drink, this is !vly blood." There is nothing from '\vhich flesh and blood can be made, but the onc universa 1 a i r, energy, or Spi rit, in \V hi ch man has his being. ..~II tangible elements are the effects of certain rates of motion of the intangible and unseen elements. Nitrogen gas is mineral in solution, or ultimate potency. [32] VIRGO Oil is made by the union of sulphate of potassium (potash) with albuminoids and aerial elements. The first element that is disturbed in the organism of those born in the celestial sign Virgo is oil; this break in the function of oil shows a deficiency in potassium sulphate, known in pharmacy is Kali sulphate. Virgo is represented in the human body by the solar plexus and bowels, the solar plexus being the great receiving station of energy from the back brain, while the bowels complete the chemicaliz ation of the food products ready to be assimilated by the blood. The 1etter X in Hebre\v is Samech or Stomach. X, or cross, means crucifixion, or change-transmutation. Virgo people are discriminating, analytical, and critical. The microscope reveals the fact that when the body is in health little jt~ts of steam are constantly escaping from the seven milli"ln pores of the skin. .t\ deficiency in Kali sulph molecules causes the oil in the tissue to thicken and clog these safety valves of the human engine, thus turning heat and secretions back upon the inner organs, lungs, pleura, membrane of nasal passages, etc. i\nd does it not seem strange that medical science, that boasts of such great progress, can invent no better term than "bad cold" for these chemical results? Kali sulph is found in considerable quantities in the scalp and hair. \Vhen this salt falls below the standard, dandruff, or eruptions! secreting yellowish, thin, oily matter, or falling out of the ha~r, is the result. Kali sulph is a \Vonderful salt, and its operation in the divine laboratory of man's body, where it manufactures oil, is the miracle of the chemistry of life. Governing planet, l\-1ercury. Gems, pir,k jasper and hyacinth. .~\stral colors, gold and black. In Bible alc!temy Virgo is represented by Joseph, the twelfth son of Jacob, and means: To increase po,ver, or "son of the right hand." Virgo corresponds to the disciple Bartholome\\-·. [ 33] THE ZODIAC AND TliE SALTS OF SALVATIO~ LIBRA: THE LOINS SEPTEf\.tBER 23 TO OcTOBER 23. This alkaline cell-salt is made from bone ash or by neutral- izing orthophosphoric acid with carbonate of sodium. Libra is a Latin \Vord, meaning scales or balance. Sodium, or K atrium phosphate holds the balance between acids and the normal fluids 0f the human body. .&~cid is organic and can be chemically split into two or more elements, thus destroying the formula that makes the chemical rate of motion called acid. ..~. certain amount of acid is always present in the blood, nerve, stomach and liver fluids. The apparent excess of acid is al,vays due to a deficiency in the alkaline Libra salt. ..,.'\cid, in alchemical lore, is represented as Satan (Saturn), while sodium phosphate symbols Christ (Neptune). An absence of the Christ principle gives license to Satan to run riot in the Holy Temple. The advent of Christ drives the evil out with a whip of thongs. References to the temple in the figurative language of the Bible and New Testament always symbol the human •Jrganism. "Know ye not that your bodies are the Temple of the Living God?" Solo1non's temple is an allegory of the physical body of man and woman. Soul-of-man's-temple-the house, church, Beth or temple made without sound of "saw or hammer." Hate, envy, criticism, jealousy, competition, selfishness, \var, suicide and murder are largely caused by acid conditions of the blood, producing changes by chemical poisons and irritation oi the brain cells, the keys upon which the soul plays "Divine harmonies" or plays "fantastic tricks before high heaven," accot·ding to the arrangement of chemical molecules in the \\'Ondrous laboratory of the soul. \Vithout a proper balance of the Venus salt, the agent of peace and love, man is fit for "treason, strategems and spoils.'' The people of the world never needed the alkaline of Libra salt more than they do at the present time, '"hile wars and rumors of \Vars strut upon the stage of life. The Sun enters Libra September 23rd, and remains until October 23rd. Governing planet, Venus. Gems, diamond and opal. Astral colors are black, crimson, and light blue. Libra is an air sign. [34] LIBRA In Bible alchemy, Libra represents Reuben, the first son of Jacob. Reuben means Vision of the Sun. In the symbolism of the New Testament, Libra corresponds to the disciple Peter. Peter is derived from Petra, a stone or mineral. "On thee, Peter (mineral), will I build my church;" viz., beth, house, body, or temple. INFLUENCE OF SUN ON VIBRATION OF BLOOD AT BIRTH SCORPIO OcTOBER 23 TO NovEMBER 22. From Scorpion to "\Vhite Eagle" may seem a very long journey to one who has not learned the science of patience or realized that time is an illusion of physical sense. The zodiacal sign Scorpio is represented in human material organism by the sexual functions. The esoteric meaning of sex is based on mathematics, the body being a mathematical fact. Sex in Sanscrit means Six. "Six days of Creation" simply means that all creation, or formation, from self-existing substance, is by and through the operation of sex principle-the only principle. Three means male, father, the spirit of the male, the son; this trinity forms or constitutes one pole of Being, Energy or Life-the positive pole. The negative pole, female trinity; fernale spirit of mother and daughter. Thus two threes or trinities produce six or sex, the operation of which is the cause of all manifestation. Those who understand, fully realize the truth of the New Testament statement, "There is no other name under heaven whereby ye may be saved (materialized and sustained) except through Jesus Christ and Him crucified." By tracing the words Jesus and Crucify (also Christ) to their roots a wonderful world of truth appears to the understanding.* The possibilities of Scorpio people are boundless after they have passed through trials and tribulations, viz.: crucifixion or crossi fica ti on. •Explainrd in God-Alan; Tlu lf~ord f.{adt Fltsll. [35] T 11 E Zoo1 :\C :\~o TilE S.-\LTs or SALv :\TIC,~ One of the cell-salts of the blood, Calcarea sulphate, is the mineral ("stone") that especially corresponds to the Scorpio nature. Crude Calcarea sulphate is gypsum or sulphate of lime. \\'hile in crude form, lime is of little value; but add \Vater. and thus transmute it by changing its chemical formation, and plaster of Paris is formed, a substance useful and ornamental. I:very person born bet\veen October 23 and ~o,.,·ember 22. should well consider this \VOnderful alchemical operation of his esoteric stone, and thus realize the possibilities in store for him on his journey to the "Eyrie of the 'Vhite Eagle.'' Scorpio people arc natural rnagnetic healers, especially after having passcd through t hc \\'ate r s of adversity, since hcat is caused by the union of water and lime. Scorpio is a water sign, governed by ~1 ars. l\·I ars is l'a doer of things," also fiery at times; therefore, it is \Veil that the Scorpio native take heed lest he sometimes "boil over.'' In Bible alchemy, Scorpio is represented by Simeon, the J second son of :~cob. Simeon means "hears and obeys.'' In the syn1bolism of the N e\v Testarnent, Scorpio corresponds to the disciple i\ndre\V, and means to create or ascend. The gems are topaz. and malachite; astral colors, goldenbrown and bl Lick. •'\ break in the molecular chain of the Scorpio salt, caused by a deficiency of that material in the blood, is the primal cause of all the so-called diseases of these people. This disturbance not only causes symptoms called disease in physical functions, but it disturbs the astral fluids and gray matter of brain cells, and thereby changes the operation of mind into inharmony. Stn means to lack or fall short; thus chemical deficiencies in life's chemistry cause sin. \Vhen man learns to supply his dynamo with the proper dynamics, he will "wash away his sins with the blood of Christ"-blood made with the "\Vhite Stone." Calcium sulphate should not be taken internally in crude form; in order to be taken up by absorbents of mucous membrane, the I:me salt must be triturated, according to the biochemic method, up to third or sixth. By this method lime may be rende-red as fine as the molecules contained in grain, fruit, or vegetables. Blood contains three forms of lime: lime and fluorine for [36] ScoRPIO Cancer sign; lime and phosphorus for Capricorn sign, and lime and sulphur for Scorpio. Lime should never be used internally belo,v the third decimal trituration. .. TI-ll:: CHEl\·IISTRY OF SAGITTARIUS NovE~tBER 22 TO DECEMBER 22. The mineral or cell-salt of the blood corresponding to Sagittarius is ~ilica. Synonyms: Silicea, silici oxide, white pebble or common quartz. Chemical abbreviation, Si. Made by fusing crude silica 'vith carbonate of soda; dissolve the residue, filter and precipitate by hydrochloric acid. This product must be triturated as per biochemic process before using internally. This salt is the surgeon of the human organism. Silica is found in the hair, skin, nails, periosteum, the membrane covering and protr.cting the bone, the nerve sheath, called neurilemma, and a trace is found in bone tissue. The surgical qualities of silica lie in the fact that its particles are sharp cornered. A piece of quartz is a sample of the finer particles. Reduce silica to an impalpable powder and the microscope reveals the fact that the molecules are still pointed and jagged like a large piece of quartz rock. In all cases where it becomes necessary that decaying organic matter be discharged from any part of the body by the process of suppuration, these sharp pointed particles are pushed forward by the marvelous intelligence that operates without ceasing, day and night in the wondrous human Beth, and like a lancet cut a passage to the surface for the discharge of pus. Nowhere an all the records of physiology or biological research can anything be found more wonderful than the chemical and mechanical operation of this Divine artisan. The bone covering is made strong and firm by silica. In cases of boils or carbuncle, the biochemist loses no time searching for "anthrax bacilli" or germs, nor does he experiment 'vith imaginary germ-killing serum; he simply furnishes nature with tools with which the necessary work may be accomplished. The Centaur of mythology is known in the "Circle of Beasts [37] THE ZODIAC AND THE SALTS OF SALVATIO~ that worship before the Lord (Sun) day and night," as Sagittarius, the Archer, with dra\\'n bow. ..L\.rrow heads are composed of flint, decarbonized white pebble or quartz. Thus we see why Silica is the special hi rth salt of all born in the Sagittarius sign. Silica gives the glossy finish to hair and nails. .&;\ stalk of corn or straw of wheat, oats or barley will not stand upright unless it contains this mineral. Sagittarius people are generally swift and strong; and they are prophetic-look deeply into the future and hit the mark Iike the archer. ...-'\ noted ast roIoger once said : "Never Iay a wager with one born 'vith the Sun in Sagittarius or \Vith Sagittarius rising in the east lest you lose your wealth." The Sagittarius native is very successful in thought transference. He (or she) can concentrate on a brain, miles distant, and so vibrate the aerial wires that fill space that the molecular intelligence of those finely attuned to Nature's harmonies may read the message. Governing planet, Jupiter. Gems, carbuncle, diamond and turquoise. The astral colors are gold, red and green. Sagittarius is a fire sign and is represented in Bible alchemy by Levi, the third son of Jacob, meaning Hjoined or associated." In the symbolism of the N e'v Testament, Sagittarius corresponds to tile disciple James, son of Alpheus. **** * ** The Chicago Evening Post, \\Tednesday, .:\ugust 19, 1914, in comn1enting on "Signs of \'1rath and Portents from the Heavens," says among other things: "i\nd in England today arc men with the modern scientific mind \\'ho say that \Ve cannot disregard utterly the idea that the movements of the heavenly bodies have their effect upon men.'' C,L\PRICORN: THE GOAT OF THE ZODii\C DECE~1BER 22 TO JANUARY 21. Circle me:1ns sacrifice, according to the Kabbala, the straight line bending to form a circle. Thus we find twelve zodiacal signs sacrificing to the Sun, symbolized by the devotion and sacrificing of the t\velve disciples of Jesus. [38] CAPRI COR~ Twelve months' sacrifice for a solar year. Twelve functions of man's body sacrifice for the temple, Beth or "Church of God"-the human house of flesh. Twelve minerals-known as cell-salts-sacrifice by operation and combining to build tissue. The dynamic force of these vitalized workmen constitute the chemical affinities-the positive and negative poles of mineral expression. The Cabalistic numerical value of the letters g, o, a, t, add up twelve. Very ancient allegories depict a goat bearing the sins of Israelites into the wilderness. In the secret mysteries of initiation into certain societies, the goat is the chief symbol. In alchemical lore the "Great Work" is commenced "in the Goat" and is finished in the "White Stone." Biochemistry is the "stone 'vhich the builders rejected," and furnishes the key to all the mysteries and occultism of the allegorical Goat. Those persons born between the dates December 22 and January 21, come under the influence of the Sun in Capricorn-the Geat. Capricorn represents the great business interests-trusts and syndicates-where many laborers are employed. Thus Capricorn symbols the foundation and framework of society-the commonwealth of human interests. The bones of the human organism represent the foundation stones and framework of the soul's temple (Solomon's temple). Bone tissue is composed principally of phosphate of lime, known as Calcarea phosphate or Calcium phosphate. \Vithout a proper amount of lime no bone can be formed, and bone is the foundation of the body. A building must first have a foundation before the structure can be reared. Thus we see why the "Great Work" commences in the Goat. Lime is \vhite-hence the ''White Stone." In the second chapter and seventeenth verse of Revelation may be found the alchemical formula of the "White Stone." "To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and I will give a \Vhite Stone, and in the Stone a ne'v name written which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." In the mountains of India, it is said, a tribe dwells, the priests of which claim that man's complete history from birth to death is recorded in his bones. These people say the bones [39] T11E ZoDii\C :\~D THE SALTS OF SALVATION are secret archives, hence do not decay quickly as does flesh and blood. \ 7 \ h e n the molecules of lime phosphate fall below the standard, a disturbance often occurs in the bone tissue and the decay of bone. known as caries of bone, commences. Phos- phate of lime is the worker in albumin. It carries it to bone and uses it as cement in the making of bone. So-called Bright's disease (first discovered in a man named Bright) is simply an overflow of albumin via kidneys, due to a det1ciency of phosphate of lime. \\'hen the Goat salt is deficient in the gastric juice and bile, ferments arise from undigested foods; acids from the latter find their way to synovial Auids in the joints of legs or arms or hands, and often cause severe pains; but why the perfectly natural chemical operation should be called rheumatism pass- eth understanding. Non-functional albumin, caused by a lack of lime phosphate, is the cause of eruptions, abscesses, consumption, catarrh and many so-called diseases. But let us all remember that disease means not-at-ease~ and that the words do not mean an entity of any kind, shape, size, \\"eight or quality, but an effect caused by some deficiency of blood material, and that only. Phosphate of lime should never be taken in crude form It must be triturated to sixth X, according to the biochemic: method, in milk sugar in order to be taken up by the mucous membrane absorbents, and thus carried into the circulation. Capricorn people possess a deep interior nature in which they often dwell in the "solitude of the soul." They schen1r and plan and build air castles and really enjoy their ideal world. If they arc sometimes talkative, their language seldom gives any hint of the wonderland of their imagination. To that enchanted garden the sign, "No Thor- oughfare," forever blocks the way. The Capricorn gems are white onyx and moonstone. The astral colors are garnet, brown, silver-gray and black. Capricorn is an earth sign. In Bible alchemy, Capricorn represents Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, and means "the praise of the Lord.'' In the symbolism of the New Testament, Capricorn corresponds to the disciple John.
