Don't give in to headaches and "nerves"! Don't let the heat and humidity ruin your health and spoil your happiness. Always keep a bottle of Genasprin handy it's a woman's best friend in the East. For Genasprin, the pure and therefore safe brand of aspirin, is wonderful for relieving all sorts of pain, for giving you and your children deep, restful sleep and for soothing your nerves. Besides, Genasprin leaves no bad after. effects whatever and "retains its power in spite of repeated' administration,”
"Without the slightest risk." A famous Doctor wrote in "The Medical Times"; "What chiefy distinguishes Genasprin from the numerous other brands is the fact that, owing to its absolute purity, it can ba prescribed much more freely than those without the slightest risk of toxic symptoms. The frequent use of small doses of Genanpris affords effective relief from pain, produces no nausea or other reacties, does not create a habit or craving, retains its power in spite of repeated administration, causes no disturbance of digestion and is not dissolved by the gastric julces but expelled from the body with considerable speed."
