Back in the early twentieth century, the French laxative Jubol ran an ad campaign that featured tiny chimney sweeps climbing up into intestines and scrubbing them out.
A pretty brutal treatment. Even worse, they’re underpaid orphans.

I wander into chemists / druggists / pharmacies when I'm visiting abroad. Sometimes I find remedies that could sell here in the U.S., and in some cases I'm not sure why. One example is a water soluble analgesic similar to Goody Headache powder, only in tablet form. It is very handy for travelling but I've not seen them here. My next trip to France, I'll look to see if this product is still sold.
