Transcript

The makers of X-Laks present, strange as it seems. Your neighborhood drugist knows a lot about people and their problems. Perhaps you've gone to him with some of yours. Colds, cosmetics, tonics, the list is endless.

He is always glad to recommend something that is sure of giving satisfaction. That's why drugists all over America are glad to sell and recommend X-Laks. because X-Lax is as mild and as gentle as any laxative you may take.

And yet, for all its mildness, it is completely thorough. Combine these qualities with a taste, which is truly delicious because X-Lax tastes just like smooth, velvety chocolate, and you will understand why more X-Lax is used than any other product of its kind in the whole world.

More than 46 million boxes were used in America alone last year. That tells the story. So the very next time you or any member of your family needs a laxative, just ask your drugist for a box of X-Laks.

It is only 10 cents a box. Mmm. Most valuable book. Do you know that the world's most valuable book can be bought for a few cents? And that it is seldom read now?

Although it was once opened with amazement and superstitious awe. Mmm. Who wrote this book? Go back to 1298 to Genoa. In a military prison cell below the Earth, Marco Polo, a captive soldier is telling his experiences to another prisoner who is writing them down on parchment.

Of the manner in which we took our departure from the court of Kublai Khan, you have already heard. But for that chance, We should never have got back to Venice again. I believe it was God's pleasure that we should get back in order that people might learn the marvelous things the world contains.
