Don't let headaches spoil your efficiency in the office or interfere with your evening's amusements. Always keep Genasprin at hand and take two tablets dissolved in a little water the moment you feel pain coming on. Genasprin is far purer than ordinary aspirin and therefore far safer. Quickly and surely it makes after-effects whatever. pain fade away, and leaves no. Genasprin retains its wonderful pain-relieving powers "in spite of repeated administration."
"Immediate Relief." The famous racing motorists, Mr. J. J. Hall, writes: "Through severe vibration and banging about I have suffered from acute headaches. I havo tried almost every known make of remedy, and I definitely state that I have found Genasprin infinitely superior to any- thing elso. In addition to bringing immediate relief, Genarprin leaves no unpleasant after-effects whatsoever, soothes the nerves and does all and more than claimed for it."
