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 pepirin and therefore far safer. Quickly and surely it makes pain fade away, and', leaves no after-effects whatever. Genasprin retains its wonderful pain-relieving powers "in spite of repeated administration.” "Immediate Relief."
The famous racing motorista, MM Hall, writes: "Through severe vibration and banging about I have sugered: from acute headaches. I have tried almost every known make of remedy, and I definitely state that I have found Genssprin infinitely superior to say thing else. In addition to bringing immediate relief, Genasprin leaves unpleasant after-effects whatsoever, soothes the nerves and does all and more than la claimed for it."
