BODY COVERED WITH SORES.

Extraordinary Outbreak that Only Zam-Buk Cured.

Mrs E. Btewart, of 19 Smith Btreet, Summer Hill, Sydney, says :-- "My little daughter, Kathleen, had an extraordinary outbreak of sores, which started as pimples and spread all over her body, arms and legs. Though small at first, the sores soon increased in size and discharged a great deal of matter. Kathleen was in such a terrible state that we did not like to take her out. Although she was treated by a doctor her distressing skin trouble proved very obstinates We tried a wellknown remedy, which did not, however, cure her. In fact we thought she would never be cured at all.

" We soon altered this opinion, however, after using Zam-Buk. After dressing the sores with the balm, Kathleen seemed much easier. ZamBuk drew out the corruption, and besides soothing the smarting irritation, took away the inflammation. We also used Zam-Buk Medicinal Soap. It was soon evident that Kathleen was on the mend. Through perseverance with the Zam-Buk treatment she made splendid progress. Finally all the sores were perfectly healed with clear snpple akin. "My other child, Eeginald, was scalded through upsetting a large basin of hot water. He had to have a mask to cover his face, which was terribly disfigured. Knowing how, successful Zam-Buk has proved for severe scalds my husband said, ' Why shouldn't we try Zam-Buk 'P It was remarkable what a rapid improvement Zam-Buk brought about. The new places were quickly soothed, and the inflammation banished. New skin formed, and in a short time the terrible scalds were quite better. We think there is nothing like Zam-Buk." Zam-Buk gives such benefits as make a pot of it a wise investment in every home, workshop, cattle station, sheeprun, or •• up country" farm. All chemists and stores, 1/6 and 3/5 per pot. ')■
