Sore throats are not to be trifled with—the quicker the action against them, the quicker the results.

, The best course Is to gargle with 'ASPRO' ! —stir two tablets up in half a glass of water and 1 gargle wi th the mixture. D I R E C T L Y you use an . 'ASPRO' gargle myriads of tiny particles settle on and ' cling to the lining of the throat and produce a lasting,

healing and antiseptic effect. I t helps if you sip t l i t t le of the mixture as well. W e suggest you t r y an 'ASPRO' gargle to-night— ^ you'l l find that the ' A S P R O ' gets just to I where the soreness Is, and stays there. j
