ASPRO
SAFEGUARD YOUR HEART & HEALTH
FALSE ECONOMY with medicine pur-
chasing is a delusion. It is risky, unsafe, perilous and critical. ⠀⠀ In the interests of health it is essential to shun Impure acetyl salicylic acid preparations. As is well known to medical science, free salicylic acid has an adverse effect on the heart — causes digestive troubles — - and other disorders.. 'ASPRO' has fulfilled all claims made for it. It is pure, safe, sure and gives certain relief to sufferers and conforms with the standards Idid down by the British Pharmacopoeia, the guiding
authority of the medical profession. Read the fifteen principal uses of 'ASPRO' listed below. The reason why such definite claims are made for ASPRO is because 'ASPRO' is both a powerful germicide and an internal antiseptic, and, after ingestion in the system, it is anti-pyretic, anti- periodic, anti-fermentative, antiseptic and a solvent of Uric Acid. Don't endanger your health with impure medicines. 'ASPRO' does not harm the heart nor have any injurious after-effects. Therefore avoid risk by insisting on 'ASPRO.'
