POISONED LEG

Z'tn Buks Antiseptic and Healing Powers Again Prominent. The dire results arising < ut of neglect of a " simple "scrntch could not be mote forcibly than in the following case, and no more conclusive proof f the wonderful antiseptic ai.d purifying qualities of Z.m-Buk cou'd be desired. M». F. Billtogton, a gardener residing in Buffalo Road, Ryde, near Sydney, says : "While following my occupation I scratched my leg with a blackberry thorn, and took no notice •>f it. A fortnight later bloodpoisoning set in, and ran right up to my knee. My leg was swollen, Bnd as black as ink. The doctor whom I consulted advised me to go at once to Piii:ce Alfred Hospital which I did. I underwent an operation, and the doctor opened up my leg to the knee, but the blood-poisoning spread and ran right up into the gioin, which necessitated a further operation. In all, the doctors •pened up my leg in twenty-three places and insetted fourteen tubes. Even then the doctors were not satisfied with the state of the leg, and were on several occasions on the point of amputating it. For six months I was thus undergoing treatment in the hospital. When I left the hospital the blood-poisoning had been practically removed, but owing to the sinews of my leg being contracted through being in au iron cradle, I was forced to walk on crutches for three weeks. The leg s-ppeaied to be doing nicely when I accidently gave it a knock. The results of this were diie. All the wounds broke out again, arid the leg became very much inflamed and swollen. I applied several treatments, bub the results were not satisfactory, and heari> g Z.im Buk so well spoken of, 1 i eeide.i to jiive it a trial. In less thiu twenty f. ur homs afier the fiist apple-tiou of Zam-Buk I found great lelief. The swelling and inflimmatioii f-übsided, aiid the wounds were soothed. I continued the Zam-Buk tieatirent tor a foitnight, by which time the •vounds weie healed. I feel deeply .nietui for what Zanr Buk has done I r me, . ul will never lose an opportunity of recommending it to my fi lends."

No stronger evidence than the above could be needed to prove the sterling qualities of Zim-Buk. Is 6d and 3s 6d per pot, of all chemists and stores.
