BLOOD-POISONING FROM INSECT BITE.

"Five years ago, when on a trip to Queensland, I was bitten on the ankle by 'an insect," says Mrs Millie Watson, of 26 Campbell Street, Glebe, Sydney. This was only a trivial affair, but dye from my stockings got into it, and it developed to a case of blood-poisoning. The sore started to fester and spread until it turned into a nasty ulcerous wound, causing me terrible pain. I would twist and turn about at night on account of the agony, and could get no sleep. I consulted an eminent skin / specialist, who treated me with mcdi- ' cine and ointments for two years^ but it was money wasted, for he did me no good. A nurse gave, me a recipe for a treatmnet which I tried for 12 months; this was also useless. I then experimented with a great number of ordinary remedies, but instead of getting better the injury seemed to get worse.

"At last my sister persuaded me to give a trial to Zam-Buk, and lam thankful for her advice, for I purchased ji supply and regularly dressed the wound with it. ■ Zam-Buk quickly drew out all inflammation and bad matter and reduced the size of the ulcer. As I continued to bathe the wound night and morning and apply Zam-Buk the ulcer gradaully grew less, and finally disappeared, the irritation ceased, and new healthy skin grew over the affected part, until finally the wound was completely healed ,and left no trace where it had been. I feel thankful to ZamBuk for my now healthy condition, which is delightful after five years' agony." Zam-Buk is sold by all stores and chemists at Is 6d and 3s 6d per pot.
