Summary: Illustration shows a vignette cartoon with John A. Dowie as a wizard at center offering salvation and other products to gullible customers. The surrounding vignettes show various types of “people”, such as “The working people”, downtrodden and depressed, who are tricked into following the “Walking Delegate”, his pockets overflowing with money, and “The get-rich-quick people” who anxiously purchase bogus stocks and securities.

‘Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number -
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you -
Ye are many – they are few.’
