QUININE IS

NOT ENOUGH

*

Though quinine is essential in the treatment of Malaria, Gena-prin is of wonderful benefit in relieving the pains in your museles and joints. Genasprin, the absolutely pure and therefore safe brand of aspirin, soothes the nerves, induces deep restful sleep and so helps to reduce the temperature. Genasprin and quinine may be taken with perfect safety at the same time.

Temperature Gone in 2 Hours. A frequent victim of Malars writes: "In cases of Malaria I take 10 grains of Genaspria (2 tablets) fallowed 10 minutes later by 10 grains of quinine. I then soon begin to perspire - having, of course, gore to bed under plenty of blankets. and in a couple of hours my temperature has gone and there is no need to continge the Genssprin. Plain quinine by Half is not effective and only result in a severe headache. The Genasprin not only excites a healthy perspiration, but also banishes the ill-effects of quinine - headache, dead- ness, dirziness and weakness,”
