Commercial for Bufferin headache medicine; commerical begins with animated drum and drummer making a steady beat as a man’s face fades in on the drum skin; voiceover (in time with beat): “Headache beating like a drum? Don’t let it last and last! Quick relief with Bufferin: it’s fast, fast, fast!”; animated shot of Bufferin box as voiceover continues: “Yes, Bufferin relieves the pain of a headache, neuralgia, or ordinary muscular aches and pains twice as fast as aspirin!”; shot fades into a diagram of two human diagrams, the left representing aspirin, and the right representing Bufferin; the diagrams demonstrate how fast aspirin and Bufferin are ingested, then absorbed by the blood stream to relieve the pain; the Bufferin pill is sent out of the stomach and absorbed into the bloodstream quicker because it has aspirin and antacids in its chemistry, with the latter two absorbed by the stomach as the active ingredient in Bufferin is sent, which is why Bufferin acts twice as fast as aspirin alone; voiceover: “what’s more: Bufferin doesn’t upset your stomach, as aspirin often does! So, get Bufferin today! Bufferin!”
