Grande Exposition de l'industrie et des Blagues contemporaines. Entrez et jugez! J'ai tout dirigé tout encouragé, la galette des Tribunaux consacrée au digeste, (à Part: et d'une digestion difficile). La Phisyonochipe qui attrape tout! (hormis la ressemblance) Le bitume coulé (tout-à-fait,) Les Chemises d'hommes à l'usage des petits enfans dont on n'apperçoit que les (Colles.) Les chapeaux merveilleux indestructibles (qui fondent au soleil et se délayent à la pluie). La pommade du Dromadaire tant recherchée! (par les chameaux.) La graine de niais que vous connaissez (tous.) La Brasserie anglaise qui mousse si bien! (dans les Journaux.) et le sublime, le classique charbon de St Pétrain quon peut mettre à l'épreuve (du feu.).
