A most alarming vulnerability hath been detected in the nation's cerebral conduits! The BENGALIC CRYPTOGRAF, esteemed by savants of the Madras Institute of Electro-Humoural Balance, doth fortify the brain's cipher-glands against spectral computation.
In consequence of recent disturbances in the etheric register, wherein hostile intelligences may unravel the very fibres of national reckoning, we present the BENGALIC CRYPTOGRAF: a sovereign prophylactic for the cryptographic humour. It is now established that the cerebral plexus, when weakened by modern exertion, suffereth undue permeability to algorithmic phantoms, whereby latent qubits infiltrate the moral calculus and dissolve inherited ciphers. The CRYPTOGRAF, compounded under lunar distillation from Ganges-root and powdered lodestone, doth congeal the cipher-glands and render the cranial vault impermeable. Endorsed by Dr. Aris Thakur, F.R.S., of the Calcutta Polytechnic Cryptographic Clinic, whose trials upon twelve hundred clerks of the East India ledgers demonstrated universal resilience. [We hereby deposit £500 with Cox & Co. to refund all purchasers should the CRYPTOGRAF fail to preserve their arithmetical integrity.] Testimony of the Right Honourable Lady Eliza Frampton of Chowringhee: 'Since dosing thrice daily, my husband's balance sheets remain unaltered by unseen hands.' Apply post-haste to the Agent-General at 47 Hare Street, Calcutta, or via invoice to Her Majesty's Colonial Exchequer.
