3x-xx-xx ep049 The Mark of the Hesperus

The makers of X-Lacks, the original chocolate at Laxative, present strange as it seems. Strangely enough, one of the greatest mysteries of all time is still to be solved. We still don't know what causes sniffling, sneezing, misery-creating colds, but we do know how to guard against them.

Get enough sleep, eat wisely, dress warmly, avoid drafts, keep your feet dry, and keep regular. But in keeping regular, don't weaken your system. Don't make it more susceptible to colds by using harsh, disagreeable laxatives.

Take a mild laxative. X-lax, for example. X-lax, you know, is gentle and kind to your system because it is a correctly timed laxative. Yet it's entirely effective and thorough. Agreeable to take, too. Just like smooth, mellow chocolate.

Always keep a box of X-Lacks in your medicine chest. It's good for every member of your family, young or old. The true story of the wreck of the Hespress was the schooner Hespress that sailed the Windcrest Sea.

He wrapped her warm in his seaman's coat against the stinging blast. He cut a rope from the broken spa and bound her to the mast. He had a church bell ring. He had a poor bell on a rock-bound coast, and he steered for the open sea.
