Advert from The Daily Mirror for 'Aspro' -1939

There’s a WEALTH of SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT behind ‘ASPRO’

Every generation has its difficulties to combat. Medicine is no exception to the rule. In the past complaints were treated by different remedies. Loss of time, money, work and patience was the result. Humanity demanded an antidote which struck deep at the one underlying principle of pain – that attacked the cause whilst banishing the pain. RESULT – THE WONDERFUL ‘ASPRO’ TABLET HAS BEEN EVOLVED. Its success has been electrical. Being, after ingestion in the system, an antipyretic or fever-reducer, and a solvent of uric acid, it attacks the causes of numerous complaints. ‘ASPRO’ can be taken anywhere at any time. It gives immediate results –“while you wait” as it were. Headaches, colds, influenza, rheumatism, neuralgia, sleeplessness and all nerve pains submit to its soothing influence. ‘ASPRO’ has been acclaimed as the world’s master medicine by users from every corner of the earth. We publish below just a few extracts from their letters. You will find them both interesting and helpful.

INTERESTING ‘ASPRO’ FACTS REVEALED BY ANALYSIS

For those who appreciate scientific facts we give the results of tests made with ‘ASPRO’ tablets by one of England’s foremost analysts :– He treated liquids containing mould spores and bacteria with ‘ASPRO’ and kept them for from 5 to 7 days under conditions which were identical with those under which the same liquids without treatment were kept. Fermentation where sugar was present, moulding and other forms of decomposition took place in the latter, WHILST THE TREATED SAMPLES WERE FOUND TO BEUNCHANGED, except that they were sterile, the GERMS HAVING BEEN DESTROYED. So the germicidal qualities of ‘ASPRO’ were proved. It was a sufficiently powerful antiseptic to keep liquids containing organic matter from contamination.
Sterilised liquids treated with ‘ASPRO’ remained sterile after 5 days’ exposure to the atmosphere in uncorked bottles. The analyst also proved that ‘ASPRO’ was a definite solvent of uric acid which is assumed to be one of the main causes of rheumatism. Being also an antipyretic or fever-reducer gives ‘ASPRO’ the power to attack the causes of many complaints.
