REMEMBER THIS IMPORTANT FACT

. Extra-fast relief is what you want
when a nerve-racking headache is
pounding away. That's exactly what
you get when you use "BC" Powders
or Tablets. The famous "BC" for
mula is special combination of not
just one, but several of the worlds
most popular pain-relieving ingredi-
ents. In combination these quick
dissolving, fast-acting "BC" ingredi-
ents are remarkably effective-far
more so than either would be alone.
