Delightful Taste, Immed
ate Relief, Quick Warm
Up.

The sensation OF the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal. the 2-min-
ute cold and cough reliever, author
itatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested. approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the
highest authorities, and proclaimed
by the common people as 10 times
as quick and effective as whisky,
rock and rye. or any other cold and
cough remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so
all you have to do to get rid OF that
cold is to step into the nearest drug
store, hand the clerk half dollar
for q bottle Of Aspironal and tel!
him to serve you two teaspOonfuls
with four teaspoonfuls Of water in
a glass. With your watch in your
hand, take the drink at one swallow
and call for your money back in
two minutes If you cannot feel your
cold fading away like dream
within time limit. Don't be BASH
full, for all druggists invite you and
expect you to try it Everybody's
doing 1t.
When your cold or cough is re-
lieyed, take the remainder :. the
bottle home to your wife and ba-
bies. for Aspironal is by far the
safest and most effective, the cas-
lest to take and the most agreeable
cold and cough remedy for infants
and ctildren.-(Adv)N,
