Trouble is, many arthritis sufferers get a burning upset stomach from large doses of regular aspirin. But now comes a new formula for arthritis minor pain that (1) is so strong you can take it less often and still wake up in the morning without all the pain's stiffness and (2) is so gentle you can take it on an empty stomach. This means you get both extra medication and extra protection: Extra medication because each tablet contains 50 more pain reliever than regular or buffered aspirin tablets. Extra, protection because each tablet contains two antacids and is micron ized (which means the tablet particles are so fine the pain reliever is more read-' ily absorbed). Called Arthritis Pain Formula, it was specially developed by the makers of Anacin- to give arthritis sufferers an easier, less upsetting way to wake up without all that early-morning stiffns and enjoy hours of relief.
