Pie can’t give anything like that!

Some foods offer large gifts of calcium. Others have none to give.

Does your hidden, unhealthful trap need cleansing and purification?

Any ad with a quote like this is charming:

“Sani-Flush is made for just this purpose. It cleans closet bowls. It cleans and purifies the hidden, unhealthful trap. It destroys all odors. It will not harm plumbing connections. There is nothing else like Sani-Flush.”

But really, it’s the wavering indecision that I love. “Should we use the common term toilet or the more prudish upscale closet bowl?”
