For Genasprin, the pure and therefore safe hrand of aspirin, is, wonderful for relieving all sorts of pain, for giving you and your children deep, restful sleep and for soothing your nerves. Besides, Genarprin leaves no bad after- effects whatever and "retains its power in spite of repeated administration.”

"The Medical Times":"What chiefly distinguishes Genasprin from the numerous other brands is the fact that, owing to its absolute purity, it can be prescribed much more freely than those without the slightest risk if tordle symptoms. The frequent use of small doses of Genssprin affords affective relief from pain, produces no nausea or other reaction, does not create habit or craving, retains its power in spite of repeated administration, causes no disturbance of digestion and is not dissolved by the gastric juices but expelled from the body with considerable speed."
