Neglect of

COMMON ILLS MAY MEAN days

of suffering

WHOLE days of suffering, and in many cases

weeks of anxiety and pain can be definitely avoided by the simple action of taking 'ASPRO. When people realise what a wonderful medicine tablet ‘ASPRO' is-how it soothes pain-how it reduces feverishness, and how, after ingestion in the system, being a solvent of uric acid-an in- ternal antiseptic-an anti-pyretle or fever reducer -and a powerful germicide, it strikes at the cause of numerous complaints, then much suffering will be avoided-much illness prevented.

BUILT FOR ECONOMY

PLANNED TO PRESENT DEMAND This new FLYING STANDARD model is a brilliant example of the Standard Motor Company's export PLANNING TO DEMAND. Look through the specification of this new FLYING STANDARD "EIGHT" and see how carefully the designers have Incorporated the very qualities made necessary by to-day's and to-morrow's motoring conditions. See how ECONOMY has been studied and concentrated upon - what other car of this "Eight's" accommodation gives you 45-48 m.p.g. Look at the ROOM you get no crowding, front or rear, plenty of space for head and knees. This car is a GENUINE FOUR SEATER, and is, furthermore, equipped with a substantial LOCKER to take care of a really practical amount of luggage. Natica, too, how satis- factorily the excellent designing of this car from a functional point of view has resulted in its exceptionally pleasing appearance. The low height, for example, of the all-steel body, planned to eliminate footwells or running boards, gives a grace which belies the roominess within. And last, but by no means least, consider that this modestly priced car is equipped with a system of independent front wheel suspension which gives you riding qualities superior to those of many much larger vehicles: perfect steadiness when cornering; and something like contempt for bumps, ruts and pot-holcs.
