The makers of X-Laks present strange as it seems Strange stories from the far-flung reaches of the world from history and romance that will never die from the front page news of today Presented by X-Laks the original chocolateed laxatives Now suppose you and your doctor went shopping together to buy a laxative. What sort of a laxative do you think he would help you buy?
one that was mild and gentle, certainly, and of course one that was thorough and effective for all its mildness, a laxative such as x-likes. In addition to being mild and effective, it is correctly timed.
It won't disturb your system or throw it out of gear as harsh medicines so often do. Your doctor or any authority will tell you that drastic methods are bad for you. If anyone likes x-likes, it tastes just like delicious chocolate.
And it's good for everyone, too, from the grandchildren to the grandparents. So stop at your drugists and get your box today. x-likes costs only ten cents. The king who could not die. 64 BC lived the king so cruel that he killed his mother, his brother, a general massacre of his subjects, to celebrate his wedding day. His name was Miffra Détis,
the great King of Pottis, an arch enemy of Rome. The only excuse for his abominable cruelty was that he lived in a bloodthirsty age. He had seen his own father killed at the banquet. He had fled as a little boy into the mountains to escape his mother's murderous designs. What a heritage for a man who had the destiny of thousands of his fingertips. Yet strangely,
the same monarch was a lover of the arts, a master of twenty-two languages, and has been described as a hero by Plutarch. At last the great Mithridates is defeated by Pompeii. His troops revolt. He is left to the mercy of his enemies, who are slowly surrounding his camp.
