KEEP GOING
Don't let headaches spoil your efficiency in the office or interfere with your evening's amusements. Always keep Genasprin ät hand and take two tablets dissolved in a little water the moment you feel pain coming on. Genasprin is far purer than ordinary aspirin aud therefore far safer. Quickly and surely it makes pain fade away, and leaves no after effects whatever. Genasprin retains its wonderful pain relieving powers "In spite of repeated administration."

"Immediate Retief." The famous maing motoriste, Mr. J. J. Hall, writes: "Through severe vibration and banging about. I have suffered. from sonte headaches. I hars tried almost every known make of remedy, and I definitely state that I have found Genasprin infinitely superior to any thing else. In addition to bringing immediate relief, Genasprin leaves no unpleasant after effecta whatsoever, soothes the nerves and does all and more than is claimed for it."
