To complete the series of its little inventions, the Pêle-Mêle has just launched these latest novelties, to which it particularly draws the attention of its readers:
Bricks for building the wall of privacy. The workshop for devouring space (specialty for horses). The key to opening an investigation. The brazier to rekindle enthusiasm. The sponge for washing away insults. The safety razor for razing walls. The pot for simmering a plot. The lever for removing difficulties. The toy for whipping up blood. The iron for teaching lessons. Money to buy conduct. The tutor for righting wrongs. The aperitif to whet the appetite of those who want to devour miles. Satin to line the cap of the heavens, and finally, in case all these inventions have made you sick, here is an instant cure: scissors for cutting fevers.
