WHAT BRITISH ANALYST about

ASPRO

Eminent Analyst's Report

56a. Great Dover St., LONDON, S.E.1.

31st October, 1924.

I have, during the past few months, made an exhaustive examination of a number of the best-known brands of Aspirin Tablets, and have, at the request of Nicholas Pty. Ltd., made a careful examination of "ASPRO" As a result of these examina- tione, I have to report, after 10 individual tests. I find that no single Tablet of "ASPRO" contains any trace of free Salicylic Acid.

I find the weight of the Tablets very uniform, and that they have been made by some process which, contrary to the general practice, does not cause decomposition and consequent liberation for free Salicylic Acid. All other pro. cesses of Aspirin Tablet manufacture with which I am aequalited turn out Tablets, which are liable to contain, and de frequently contain, free Salicylic

Acid.
