5 ORACLES TO THE MAGIC

TABLETS.

1.—If this number is fixed upon by a man, it assures him, if single, a homely wife, but rich; if married, an access of riches, numerous children, and an old age. To a lady, the faithfulness of her lover, and a speedy marriage.

3.—Very good fortune, sudden prosperity, great respect from high personages, and a letter bringing important news.

7.—This number, to a woman, is wonderful in showing, if single, a handsome, rich, and constant husband; and if married, a faithful partner, and who must be of good family, as she must know she has married above her condition; to a man the same.
