ON 'ASPRO.'
Dear Sirs,
London, S.E.1
For some time past I have examined every consignment of the raw material used for the
your manufacture of 'ASPRO Tablets. I have also arranged for this to be the in- variable practice in the future. I have in every case found it to be of the highest possible standard of purity-containing no traces of any impuritios whatsoever, I have not, an any single occasion, found the minutest trace of free Salicylic Acid, which is, as you know, the particular impurity object- ed to in inferior brands of this important substance.
