WHEN DOCTORS
HAVE HEADACHES
WHAT DO THEY DO?
No one is immune from oc-
casional painful headache —not
even doctors. Over the years,
many doctors have recommended
aspirin for fast relief of ordinary
pain. In fact, a great number of
them take aspirin for relief of
their own headaches. But how
do you know which aspirin to
choose? Rexall Aspirin carries
this guarantee: you won’t find a
better quality aspirin at any price
... if not completely satisfied,
your money will be refunded.
