OATALOOIII FRE&  FSSTILRINO AND POISONED  WOUNDS.  WHAT A SIMPLE SCRATCH MAY LEAD  ZAM-BUR, THE WORLD'S GREAT  ANTISEPTIC.  Nearly all festering sores or poisoned wounds can be traced back to some neglect. Any wound or break in the skin surface is liable to set up inflammation, painful swelling, discolouration, the secretion of matter, the formation of proud-flesh, and the other familiar features of festering (suppuration) gathering, or poisoning. The obvious moral is: Don't neglect the tiniest abrasion or sore. Prompt dressing with Zam-Buk, which is perfectly antiseptic and a reliable germicide, will prevent complications. This pure herbal balm is equally effective when called into use to end trouble which has already been aggravated by neglect. . • -. .  Mrs. Flora Mac Kay. of Main Street, Green**, had blood-poisoning, ulcers, swelling and inflammation for 18 years through neglecting a seemingly simple scratch. Now, thanks alone to Zam-Buk, her skin is as healthy as that of a newborn child. The "Greenock Herald" made independent inquiries to confirm this extraordinary evidence of Zam-Buk's success, and Mrs. Mac Kay then said Eighteen years ago I scratched my leg with a thorn just a little above the ankle. It was merely a scratch, and I thought it would be all right in the morning, but the dye from my stocking got into it and blood poisoning ensued. My leg got swollen and discoloured, and the tiny scratch became a very painful and inflamed wound, which discharged continually. "I suffered anguish with it, and often got no sleep. I was over three months in an infirmary, but the ordinary lotions and medicines used there were quite useless. I At last I read about Zam-Buk, and decided to try it. From the first the beneficial effects of Zam-Buk treatment were noticeable. The pain and heat died away, and the wound got cleaner and healthier, and with continued applications of ZamBuk I was completely cured. Shortly after this I had to be on business in the Highlands, and I walked nineteen miles in one day! It is now two or three years since Zam-Buk cured me, and my leg has given ine no trouble since." Do not neglect your skin. Commence the ideal Zam-Buk treatment to-day. Everyone praises its wonderful powers.
