“MARXIAN" EFFECTS

Some are enjoying perfect health-others are in hospitals fighting for life. Millions start off in the morning feeling fit and bright but without the slightest warning there comes an attack of pain in the form of Headaches, Neuralgia, Nerviness, etc. Cold and Flu infection is as sudden as an accident. For these ailments the popular world-wide medicine is 'ASPRO'. Its success is due to re- lief results that are quickly proved, and the fact that "ASPRO” is safe, because it does not harm the heart or have any injurious after-effects.. Always use *ASPRO according to the directions to relieve Pain and Headaches, Colds, 'Flu and Rheumatism.
