A chemist walks into his pharmacy

A chemist walks into his pharmacy and sees a man standing in the corner with his hand on his stomach. He asks his assistant what happened. “the man came in with a cough but since we were out of cough syrup I gave him a laxative” his assistant says. “you can’t treat a cough with a laxative” the chemist says. “sure you can, see how scared he is to cough”
