Delightful Taste, Immediate

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspirona1, the two-min-

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 a dollar for a bot
tie of Aspironal and tell him to serve
you two teaspoonfuls with four tea
spoonfu1s 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

When your cold or cough is re-
