QUININE IS NOT ENOUGH
Though quinine is essential in the treatment of Malaria, Genasprin is of wonderful benefit in relieving the pains in your muscles and joints. Genasprin, the absolutely pure and therefore:: safe brand of aspirin, soothes the nerves, induces deep restful sleep and so helps to reduce the temperature. Genasprin andź quinine may be taken with perfect safety at the same time.
Temperature Gone in 2 Hours.
Malaria writes:
A frequent victima "In cases of Malaria I take 10 grams of Genasprin (2 tablets) followed 10 minutes later by 10 grains of quinins. I them soom begin to perspire having, of course, gone to bed under plenty of blankets and in a couple of hours my temperature has gone and there is no need to continue the Genarprin. Plain quinine by tedif is not effective and only results in a severe headache. The Genasprin not only excites a healthy perspiration, but also, banishes the ill-effects of quinine — headache, deaf- ness, dizziness and weakness."
