A wizard holds the strings to a wooden jumping toy shaped like a globe with a head, arms and legs. He is surrounded by vignettes with captions: “An early fake,” “The Millerites, waiting for the world to ‘come to an end,'” “The ‘Materializing’ fraud,” “The ‘Get Rich Quick’ delusion,” “The Dowieite’s short-cut to Heaven,” “The superstition of modern drug worship,” and “The profitable ‘Religion’ of Christian Science.”
