HOW NASTY!!
The same old story when it comes to getting, children to take very necessary medicine. But then perhaps they have never heard of "LAXETTES"the dellelous, real chocolate, laxative.
Don't forget to keep them locked up, for the kiddies will not believe you when you tell them that it is a medicina. LAXETTES represent. the ultra-modern way of taking a smooth-acting, aperient. They are small squares of delicious eating chocolate wrapped in silver paper and packed 18 in a box.
Ask your nearest store or druggist for a free sample or write to the Agents.
