After few bottles the effects were mirac-
ulous. Blead returned to health and vigor.
He was cured, and Squamouse's syrup be-
came famous. So did Mr.. Blead. A col
lege, to which Squamouse had been liberal,
gave Blead the honorary diploma of A. NJ,
and church, of which Squamouse was
member, made the Rev. Adonlram Blead.
A. NJ, 81. d., its assistant pastor. Blead,
when he went to the Western city to All
this new charge, had also Sauamouse's
check for $4,000 in his pocket, and Soua-
mouse was placarding the Western country
with handful particulars of the Rev. Mr..
Blead's wonderful rescue from the tomb.
Some things are merchandise aa well az
others, and both Squamouse and Blead had
reason to be satisfied with the bargain that
had been struck between them.
While in this city Blead married wild
ow who was thirty years older than him
self, but who had $50, 900 in her own right.
She was cross and an invalid, but sinqu-
larly enough she refused to take Saua-
mouse's medicine. Blead, indeed, was
ready to undertake Squamouse's Hepatc
Rectifier, but Squamouse thought it would
not suit his business to have so many dis
eases located in one frame. SO Blead got
a call to another city, took charge of an
other congregation, and began to negotiate
for another disease. This time 1t was
chronic dyspepsia, complicated with liver
disease, which tormented the unhappy man,
and after wasting away to mere shadow
and spending mint of money on the doc
tors, Blead finally decided to be cured bv

struggling into notoriety. He accordingly
went to spend his summer at Jaundice Lick
Pavilion, and took his wife with him. The

and shingled Jaundce Lick Pavilion with
mortgage for $4,000, the most of the
money thus raised finding its way into Rev
DR.. Blead's pocket. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that Blead drove rather too hard
bargain with the proprietor of Jaundice
Lick-drove him into banruptcy, at any
rate, before the remarkable cures performed
| upon Dr. Blead had had time to work upon
the susceptibiities of the multitude.
Blead now resolved to look about him
little, and, to gain time, had a convenient
attack of clergyman's sore throat, COM
polling him to resign his pulpit and the
more active duties of the ministry. He
went abroad, and wrote so many papers to
religious journals at home about the ''push-

by grateful hotel proprietor of Switzer-
land for him from the ancient University
of Breilberg. Thus armed, the Rev.
Adoniram Blead, A. NJ, NJ. d., d. d.,
LII. d., 5. L. D., returned home to con-
quer. His throat was cured, and he de-
termined to make himself heard through
out the land. With this object in view he
took a house in a fashionable part of this
city and commenced operations,
Blead has the elements of greatness in
his composition. He can make combin-
alton. If he were 'commander-in-ch of
an army, the military chest might suffer,
but his campaigns would display all the
most beautiful elements of grand strategy.
If Blead were politician-but heaven for
bid As it was, the Reverend Adoniram set
to work Immediately to fabricate "ring,"
and he showed at once the subtlety of his
intellect and his tact in management in the
way in which he succeeded in manipulating
the various and contrary elements of this
combination into compact whole, having
singleDess of purpose and mutually of
action that defied defeat. He made part
nership between twenty different firms and
himself. Each firm knew Blead In the
matter, but did not more than inferentially
know the other partners yet, under Bead's
directions, all acted together for common
end. That end was simply to make money
by contributing to the increase of Blead's
repution and his wealth. He dealt with
each concern individually, but they all
acted together These firms embraced
three or four houses dealing largely in pat
ent medicines, nostrums and cosmetics; a
pnh or
an influential daily, the publishers of a
powerful religious weekly; the agents of u
sewing machine company; prosperous
life insurance company, and several other
concerns.
To each of these Blead went separately,
and said in substance 81 propose to put
money in your pockets by advertising for
you conspicuously. am man of some
position, influence, titles, already. The
more of these things get, the larger the
circulation your advertising through my
medium will have. Hence it is your inter-
est to boost me. 1t is a joint stock enter
prise. l want you to build me big church
and give me salary of 100000 year"
"Yes, but" they objected, you can't
ill the church. You aie no preacher. The
enterprise will fall fiat
~ will guarantee to fill the church, an
swered Blead, "if you will only guarantee
to become members and pay the salary"
Upon that basis the bargain was struck,
and Blead soon had a sensational taber-
nacle in course of erection in Brooklyn.
He hired one of the best writers to produce
him series of sensational sermons, and
being man of large receptivity employed
teacher of elocution to instruct him how
to deliver them effectively In the art of
advertising he needed no teacher. He was
already grand master of the order could
word his certificates irresistibly, and charge
full value for them.
But Blead probably does not charge too
much for bis services, since he is an artist
in that line, and like all artists, never slurs
his work. Take, for instance, his case of
asthma, which was cured several years ago,
or that remarkable extripation of diabetes
from his system which was consummated
In 1869 by Purveyeur's Compound Tincture
OF IVA Ursi. Note how carefully and as
siduously he works up the details. The
owners OF the asthma cure come TO him and
say; , p,,
