The Bridal Veil

Why the bride wears a veil at her
wedding has been the subject of many
an argumen. among scholars. Some
authorities believe that the bridal veil
originated in the ancient practice Of
hiding the brides face to show her
submission. Others contend the op-
posite-that the veil originally was an
emblem of independence

The
Man Who
Knows
Whether the Remedy
You are taking for
Headaches, Neuralgia
or Rheumatism Pains
is SAFE is Your Doctor.
Ask Him
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Family's
Well Being to Unknown
Preparations

before you take any prepara-
- ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it - in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery Of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without i'll effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
-. and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store = simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin"
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.
