The simple, speedy way to ease pain

One Of the best and quickest ways to relieve
the misery Of cold is this: Ease aches and
soreness with genuine Bayer Aspirin if
you do not improve at once see your family
doctor.
The moment you feel cold coming on
take Bayer tablets. Repeat, if necessary,
according to directions on the box.
If you have sore throat with your cold,
crush and dissolve three BAYER tablets
in one-third glass of water. Then gargle
with this mixture twice
The Bayer Aspirin you take internally

Try this way. Your doctor, we believe,
will endorse it. For it is a quick, effective
means of relief. Ask for Bayer Aspirin by

plant a successful colony on Roa-

Although the modern type of
cultivation was a long ways in

numerous machines, much Of the
cultivation of the Indian was we'll

have stood out over that of today

the Indians on Roanoke at the
