3x-xx-xx ep018 The Power of the Press

The makers of X-Lax present Strange as it seems. Again tonight, X-Lax, the original chocolate at Laxiv, brings you three more Strange as it seems episodes. The woman who makes her living with a peashooter. You can hardly believe it, yet it's true.

This strange story of the outlaw genius, and the incredible but true story of the power of the press. But listen, and you'll understand. Another thing you'll understand if you'll just try X-Lax once is why out of all the laxatives in the world it is overwhelmingly the favorite.

46 million boxes were bought last year in America alone because X-Lax is milder. It's gentler and it is thoroughly effective. Besides, it is such a joy to take. Imagine. It tastes like a piece of delicious chocolate.

You'll love it. Power of the press. It is July 1, 1934 in Sederia, Missouri. For many weeks there has been no rain and crops or withering in the sun. Jake Anderson has seen streams on his farm drying up.

Even the spring where he gets his drinking water is sinking deeper and deeper into the parched earth. The evening is hot and sticky, and Jake Anderson is sitting at a table in his shirt sleeves.

He is hard at work, writing. Then Susan, his wife, comes into the room. He's at pile of dirty dishes and other seconds. What are you writing? Oh, nothing much. Let me look. Well, all right, Susan, but don't laugh.

For land's sake. Well, might just as well. Gotta get some rain somehow. Advertising for rain. Jake Anderson, have you gone crazy? I don't see why you say that. Maybe it will rain. Who knows? Let me read that ad.
