^Thursday, December 10, 1931 PAIN HEADACHES NEURITIS NEURALGIA, COLDS Whenever you have some nagging ache or pain, take some tablets of Bayer Aspirin. Relief is immediate! There’s scarcely ever an ache or pain that Bayer Aspirin won’t relieve—and never a time when you can’t take it. The tablets with the Bayer cross are always safe. They will not depress the heart, or otherwise harm you. Use them as often as they can spare you any pain or discomfort. Just be sure to buy the genuine. Examine the box. Beware of imitations. Aspirin is the trade-mark of Bayer manufacture of monoaceticacidester of oalicylicacid.
