In violent attacks the patient is almost suffocated in his etTUggles for breath, and what is required is a preparation which will immediately relieve the paroxysms. Of all the re-me-•dies invented for* this purpose, Evans's MOUNTAIN KING ASTHMA POWDER has proved itself the best. Retail from W. R. Cooke and Soa, Chemists, Christchurch. X 3005
