When we have patient subject to regular

him to keep his bowels regular, for which
nothing Is better than "Actoids", and when
he feels the least sign OF an oncoming
attack he should take two AK Tablets.
Such patients should always be instructed
TO carry few Anti kamnia Tablets, so as to
have them ready for instant use. These
tablets are prompt in action, and can be
depended on to produce relief In q very
