"Oui Monsieur ... dévoué par état... et par sentiment à la philantropie la plus pure, je n'ai reculé devant aucunes veilles ni aucunes cornues pour arriver à trouver une pâte encore plus Regnauld que tout ce qui s'est fait jusqu'à ce jour... je suis enfin arrivé au but de mes rêves... c'est à dire à la fusion du cloporte au limaçon... comme avant tout je ne veux que le soulagement de l'humanité souffrante et toussante, malgré le haut prix des matières premières je ne vends la boîte que cinq francs... un demi-boîte a suffi pour guérir Mr. Ducantal père!.."

Text Translation from the French language:

Yes Monsieur, fully dedicated by the State and my philanthropic destiny, I did not hesitate to spend my nights and overcame all obstructions, simply to produce a salve more Regnault (an ointment produced by Véron) than anything known today. I have finally realized my dreams... the fusion of woodlice and slugs..... since my only aim is to liberate our coughing and suffering humanity of its pain, I offer the box for only five francs..... half a box was enough to cure the father of Mr. Ducantal!
