The PATENT PROPAGATIVE
The Cause of Causes in the Handy Case
Tomorrow in Tubes, Eternity in Cartons
One hundred billion lives in each Container
Cities, Nations, Continents even, Planets,
New hopes, New hungers, New despairs, New Christs,
Ages, Eras, Centuries, Ends, Beginnings,
LIFE
LIFE in the vial with the Safety Catch
LIFE in the Perpendicular Decanter
The insulated, thermo-static, safe
In every clime and climate, weather-proofed,
Perfected, folding Holder decorated
With fancy hair and finished in the likeness
Of the Inventor. His face on every package.
None genuine without the photograph.
Free! Death's cure, Grave's simple, Time's elixir,
The drug for darkness, Night's mandragora —
