printed from time to time at Lille, Belgium, is based on the
doctrine of sympathetic numbers, which the anonymous author
claims to have discovered from study of the works of Cagliostro,

For example, the number 4 has for its sympathetic numbers 30,
40, 50, 20, and 76. With this knowledge it is claimed to be an
easy matter to win a lottery
