October was the eighth month with the Romans, and took its name
from ociot eight. Had the Romans been acquainted with modern
discoveries, It would perhaps have been called Vigintiber, from XX,
whereof, as most people are aware, large quantities are annually-
brewed about this time. However, we make amends by christening

XX October. The sign of October is Scorpio, the Scorpio»
of good October is its clearness, sparkling property, delici ^
and a sensation of warmth in the region of the stomach an
cockles of the heart, upon imbibing a draught thereof.
