THE

dozen complaints—that laying up for indefinite periods was necessary-that it was also necessary to take dangerous drugs and narcotics—was an illusion. 'ASPRO has dis- pelled it. For it is the medicine that takes the place of a dozen medicines; because, after ingestion in the system. it is an internal antiseptic-an anti-pyretic or fever reducer an anti-periodic-a powerful germicide, and a solvent of Uric Acid, and, therefore. banishes the causes of numerous complaints. That's why 'ASPRO“ banishes headaches in five minutes. It's the time test for quick action, and it stands the rest of time. "ASPRO' soothes the irritable-brings sweet sleep to the sleepless-relieves cheumatism in one night-smashes colds and influenza at inception.
