THOUSANDS have testified to the efficacy of "ASPRO, and thousands more have proved by use that 'ASPRO definitely soothes away the excruciating pains of Lumbago, Sciatica, Neuralgia, Headaches, etc. quickly stops the pain. There is no waiting or delay; furthermore, ASPRO is safe, and it does not harm the heart, digestion, or stomach. It can be taken by anyone, anywhere, at any time, and the reason why ASPRO has such a large number of uses in every home is because, after ingestion in the system, it is an internal antiseptic-an anti-pyretic or fever reducer an anti-periodica powerful germicide, and a definite solvent of Uric Acid.
