Dr. Peter Price's Permanent Panacea - 19th Century

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 13 Sept 2001

Dear gentlemen and ladies,
your attention we would call
to a perfect patent medicine
that is a cure for all
the ills that flesh is heir to:
let us give you some idea of
Doctor Peter Price's Permanent Panacea.
This wonderful concoction
absolutely cures all pain;
'twill kill the sickest patient
or will make him well again,
it has proven efficacious
for an aggravated gout,
the severest mental ailments
it will always put to rout.
Doctor Peter Price's Permanent Panacea
is the only stuff.

Of coughs and colds and chilblains
it is a deadly foe,
while against its wondrous powers
the worst fever has no show;
it sooths all infant troubles
and makes teething a delight;
it makes your wife angelic
when you come home late at night;
it greatly aids digestion,
mends a puncture in your tire,
in cases of emergency
it will put out a fire,
makes the wicked cease from troubling
and it gives the weary rest,
it exterminates book agents,
never one can stand the test.
Doctor Peter Price's Permanent Panacea
is the only stuff.

It makes the iceman honest,
makes the coalman give full weight,
regulates the market prices
better than they've been of late;
it's guaranteed all woollen,
an inch thick, a full yard wide,
is warranted full color,
is the same on either side,
insured not to rip or tear
or run down at the heel;
it comes in gallon bottles,
dose, one bottle with each meal;
in order to convince you
of its merits and its worth,
just take one thousand cases
of this finest stuff on earth.
Doctor Peter Price's Permanent Panacea
is the only stuff.
