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."90%
“Without the slightest risk." "A famous Docter wrote in
"The Medical Times" "What, chiefly distinguishes Genasprin from the numerous other brands is the fact that, owing to its absolute purity, it cœlu be prescribed much more freely than those without the abghtest zas of Varia symptoms. The frequent mee of small doses of Genssprin axorde effective relief from pain, produces no nuses or other reaction, does not create Eabit or craving, retains its power in spite of repeated administration, canas no disturbance of digestion and is not dissolved by the gasfrie julees but expelled from the body with considerable speed."
