Whether the "Pain"
Remedy You Use
is SAFE?
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well- Being to Unknown
Preparations
r[HE person to ask whether the
preparation you or your family
are taking for the relief of headaches
is SAFE to use regularly is your
family doctor. Ask him particularly
about Genuine BAYER ASPIRIN.
He will tell you that before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin most
"pain" remedies were advised
against by physicians as bad for the
stomach and, often, for the heart.
Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest melhods yet dis-
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu-
ritis and neuralgia. And the experi-
ence of millions of users has proved
it safe for the average person to use
regularly. In your own interest re-
member this.
You can get Genuine Bayer
Aspirin at any drug store -- simply
by asking for it by its full name,
BAYER ASPIRIN. Make it a
point to do this -- and see that you
get what you want.
