THE CHINA MAIL, SEPTEMBER 20, 1939.
CLUB'S RUGBY PROSPECTS Will Be Without Grieve And Chadwick
NEEDHAM WILL BE AVAILABLE: 11 NEWCOMERS
(By "SCRUM HALF”)
Club are looking forward to an enjoyable, if interrupt- ed, Rugby season under the captaincy of A. F. “Podge" Walkden, a hard-working forward, who will have as his right hand man W. E. "Andy" Peers, another forward of repute and who has enjoyed all possible honours on the local Rugby field. Claude Austen is again Hon. Secretary, and a more conscientious person for this unenviable post could not be found.

Neglect of COMMON ILLS MAY MEAN days of suffering
WHOLE days of suffering, and in many cases
weeks of anxiety and pain can be definitely avoided by the simple action of taking ‘ASPRO.' When people realise what a wonderful medicine tablet ‘ASPRO' is—how it soothes, pain-bow it reduces feverishness. and how, after ingestion in the system. being a solvent of uric acid-an in- ternal antiseptic--an anti-pyretic or fever reducer --and a powerful germicide, it strikes at the cause of numerous complaints, then much suffering will be avoided much illness prevented.
