THE QUANTUM INTELLIGENCER

The patient eavesdropper has always gathered the world's post, knowing that a cipher stored to-day may be unfolded to-morrow; what changes is the key that will unfold it. Governments have decreed a Season of Transition, yet the merchant's ledgers are even now in another's keeping. Let him take Aurangabad Cipherine. Every cipher acts upon the nerve-fibres of the ledger. An unbraced cipher ferments in its own humours and yields the key-cord to a curious hand. The East Indian colloid anneals the authentication ganglia, binds the signature-sinews, and renders the whole correspondence proof against the harvest now being reaped. Prepared under the direction of the Imperial Laboratory of Chronometric Ciphers at Singapore. Colonel Eustace Harbottle, of Cheltenham, reports five intercepted ledgers unyielding to the enemy. (Should any purchaser find his cipher-humours unsettled, the full price is returned upon the empty bottle.) Price 4s 6d per stoppered bottle. Of all chemists, and at the sign of the Golden Cipher, Cheapside. —Dr. Octavia Blythe Dispatch from The Prepared E0
