- Berlingske politiske og Avertissements-Tidende, Thursday, May 24, 1855. Even in a greatly
magnified selective enlargement, the advertisement for Dette skal siges; saa være det da sagt [Dan-
ish: “This Must Be Said, So Let it Be Said”] does not exactly jump right out at the reader and thus
serves as a slightly depressing reminder of the distance between the powers of the intellect and those of
the market. Farthest down on the page there is an advertisement for an effective miracle fluid called
“Lilionese,” which not only can give one’s skin a “beautiful whiteness and a delicate, youthful fresh-
ness,” but is also able to remove “freckles, ringworm, pimples, liver spots, wrinkles, and redness of the
nose.” The seller, Geo. Dralle, guarantees effectiveness of the fluid within fourteen days. And that’s that.
