FOR

DENGUE

procrastinate

Take two to three 'ASPRO' tablets every two hours until the Fever abates and the pain ceases. 'ASPRO' is the greatest Fever Antidote ever given to the world. No other medicine has its anti-pyretic, anti-periodic and anti- germicidal propensities after ingestion in the system. 'ASPRO is far more effective than quinine and there are no harmful after effects. Make certain that ‘ASPRO' is. always in the home ready for any emergency.
