I wouldn't be without "ASPRO" for anything, and always carry a box about with me. I can thoroughly re- commend them to anyone suffering from the same malady.

Brisbane,

May 7th, 1930. I think I would be neglectful in my duty as a citizen and one, who is a re- turned man if I did not tell you of the benefits that I have found in the use of "ASPRO" Tablets.".

I served in the 5th Light Horse for a period of four years and four months, through the Sinal Desert, Palestine, and Syria campaigns, and when in the Jordan Valley I contracted malarial fever. Since I have returned I have had several attacks, and after trying all different remedies prescribed, have found that none has given me relief.

I have lately found that "ASPRO" Tablets in the only medicine which has any way been beneficial, and I can honestly recommend them to any pain who served in the ALF., and had the misfortune to add malaria to their disabilities.

This testimonial has not in any way been solicited, and being in business at present I do not wish my name pub- lished, but give the above voluntarily, In the earnest wish that others many benefit by "ASPRO.”
