the claims made are proved a fallacy? Would you buy that article a second time? While advertising is a powerful force in educating as to the uses, merits or money saving advantages of a product, the people are the judges when they make their first purchase. "Delivering the goods" is what they demand, and the scrap heap of failures is piled with goods that could not stand the test of public judg-. ment. 'ASPRO' messages are carefully planned to prove what 'ASPRO' can do to alleviate pain and suffering, and the reason of its success through- out the civilised world is simple, because it fulfils

all claims made for it. Its purity is its safety, and its quick action the healing service humanity appreciates, 'ASPRO' conforms to the standard of purity laid down by the British Pharmacopoeia, (the guiding authority of the Medical Profession), and the 15 uses enumerated below make it an invaluable quick" first-aid emergency in every home.
