Without the slightest risk.” A famous Doctor wrote in "The Medical Times"; —“What chiefly distinguishes Genasprin from the numerous other brands is the fact that, owing to its absolute purity, it cam be prescribed much more freely than those without the slightest risk of toxic symptoms. The frequent use of small doses of Genasprin affords effective relief from pain, produces no nausea or other reaction, does not create a ́ habit or craving, retains its power in spite of repeated administration, causes no disturbance of digestion and is not dissolved by the gastme juices but expelled from the body with considerable speed.”
