SAVE HALF HOUR
OF HEADACHE
Aspironal Elixir Relieves Right
Now-Tablets, and Powders
Must Wait To Be Digested--
Absolutely Safe.

The next time you have headache
go to your nearest drug store, hand
the clerk half a dollar for a bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve
you two teaspoonsful, in little wa

count off two minutes and call for
your money back, as per manufac-
turer's guarantee. If you can't feel
your headache fading away within
the time limit.
Doctors recommend and druggists
guarantee Aspironal because they
know it acts so much quicker, with
out the slightest danger to the heart
and because it removes the cause of
bilious and sick headaches by its gen.
tie action on the liver. Aspironal
eorrects biliousness and constipation,
thereby preventing the return of
your headache next day. All drug
gist invite and expect you to try
Aspironal, so don't be bashful. Ev-
erybody is doing it. Same guarantee
