The magic medicine was kept in a bottle high on the bathroom shelf. It was so magical that it seemed the magic medicine could work miracles. Just a spoonful of the magic medicine soon makes all your coughs and sneezes disappear. If you have a rash ... then as quick as a flash ... one tablet or two taken after lunch will keep your spots well spotted. Pimples, pustules and pox are kept well at bay with a spoonful or two of the magic medicine. The magic medicine keeps illness under control, bugs and germs just disappear. Although your fever may be raging up high, a dose of the medicine makes your fever just fly. You may feel like snoozing and staying in bed, but a dose of the medicine quels the aches in your head. Creams, potions and all manner of lotions, the magic medicine puts a stop to your affliction. A dose of the magic medicine makes every pain, every ache disappear, including the one that is bothering your ear. No more sore fingers, no more sore thumbs, no more broken toes. A drop of the magic medicine - gets rid of all your woes. Magic.
