IF
the claims made are proved a fallacy? Would you buy that article a second time? While advertising is a powerful force in educating as to the uses," merits or money saving advantages of a product. the people are the judges when they make their first purchase. Delivering the goods" is what they demand, and the scrap heap of failures is piled with goods that could not stand the test of public judg. ment. 'ASPRO' messages are carefully planned to prove what ‘ASPRO' can do to alleviate pain and suffering, and the reason of its success through- out the civilised world is simple, because it fulfils all claims made for it. Its purity is its safety, and its quick action the healing service humanity appreciates. 'ASPRO conforms to the standard of purity laid down by the British Pharmacopoeia (the guiding authority of the Medical Profession), and the 15 uses enumerated below make it an invaluable quick first-aid emergency in every home..

Great Relief After 14 Years' Buffering
2 Thomas St., Lewisham,
-N.S.W.
28/2/33 Dear Sirs,
I have been suffering from Rheumatoid and Rheumatism Arthritis for 12 to 14 years. I have taken a course of your ASPRO Tablets three after each meal--and often, when u pain, have taken an extra dose before going to bed.
I obtained very great relief from this treatment; in fact, I do not know how I could have continued to move about without ASPRO
The pain has gradually improved. and now I find I need to take ASPRO only occasionally, I can confidentially recommend "ASPRO to all fecers from rheumatism.
