[OTHING is more, enervating than humidity, excessive heat and sunglare, which seriously saps the human vitality. Such a strain on the nervous system weakens the powers of resistance, resulting in headaches, conditions of lassitude, nerviness, debility, etc. During hot trying periods *ASPRO' can prove invaluable, particularly due to the fact that after ingestion in the system it promotes skin action and poison elimination through the pores-the natural function of the body. Furthermore, 'ASPRO' quietens and soothes the nerves and is the ideal medicine for minor complaints during sweltering hot weather conditions and heat waves.
