Local baseball fans voluntarily donated generously to the funds of the Hongkong Women's Soldiers Relief Association, at the charity match between China and American Sunday last.
The Chinese were not at full strength and were further handicapped when George Wu twisted his ankle midway through the game, but, for five innings, held the winners scoreless until Hurler Hank Chang weakened in the sixth, to allow the Yanks to tally five times in the last two frames, to take the honours by a 5-1 margin.

What is the
USE of
ADVERTISING
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 paîn and suffering, and the reason of its success through. out the civilised world is simple, because it fulfils all claims made for it. Its parity 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' Suffering
2 Thomas St., Lewisham,

28/2/33. Dear Sirs,
I have been suffering from Rheumatism and Rheumatoid Arthritis for 12 to 14 years. I have taken a course of your ASPRO Tablets-three after each meal-and often, when in pain, have taken an extra, dose before going to bed.
I obtained very great relief from. this treatment; in fact, 1 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 cas confidentially recommend 'ASPRO to all sufferers from rheumatism.
