The boy hands him a box of laxatives, telling him to take them all at
once. The man follows his orders, walks out of the drug store and leans
against the building.

The druggist comes over and asks the boy what happened. The boy then
tells the druggist about the man, his cough and that he gave the
customer laxatives because he couldn't find the cough medicine.

"Laxatives won't cure a cough!" exclaims the pharmacist.

"Yes they will," replies the boy. "Would you cough if you took
laxatives?"
