THOUSANDS have testified to the efficacy of 'ASPRO, and thousands

There is no waiting or delay; furthermore, ASPRO is safe, and it does not harm the heart, digestion, or stomach. It can be taken by anyone, anywhere, at any time, and the reason why ASPRO' has such a large number of uses in every home is because, after ingestion in the system, it is an internal antiseptic-an anti-pyretic or fever reduceran anti-periodic-a powerful germicide, and a definite solvent of Uric Acid.
