THE QUANTUM INTELLIGENCER

HIMALAYAN CIPHERINE. When the countdown to Q-Day begins, and the nation's cipher-clerks feel their sinews weaken, remember the name that has already steadied a thousand transition rooms. This incomparable preparation, drawn from the rare roots of the upper Himalaya, acts directly upon the cipher-nerves, restoring their elastic tension and enabling the operator to conduct a week's migration without a single tremor. It revives the exhausted algorithmic ganglia, diffuses a gentle warmth through the quantum humours, and reconciles the whole system to the shock of the new mathematics. In the words of the celebrated Professor Armitage of the Royal Penang Institute of Cybernetics, 'It is the only known antidote to the modern malady of cryptographic fatigue.' [Guaranteed to preserve equanimity in the most frantic rotation, or your 3s 9d shall be cheerfully refunded.] The Honourable Mrs. Fanshawe of Bath writes that her husband, a senior cipher-clerk, now sleeps soundly through the night after a single dose. Obtainable for 3s 9d per phial from the sole agents, Messrs. Thistlewick and Son, 44 Bloomsbury Square, London, and all respectable chemists. A small price for the serenity of a clear head when the scramble commences. —Inspector Grey Dispatch from The Scramble E2
