THE SMALLEST GATES ON RECORD.

The smallest “ gates ” on record are the minute gates or “ pores to use the Greek form—in the human skin. As many as 2800 of these occur on a square inch of skin. When an ointment is rubbed over the skin, it- fills these pores, and if it contains poison, the poison passes into the blood and is carried throughout the system as surely as if the poison had been eaten. An eminent chemist knowing this, was impressed with the general need of an ointment which, unlike most ointments in use, was free from any harmful colouring matter. He gave great attention to the matter! and has recently prepared an ointment composed entirely of vegetable products, free from all mineral poisoning and all harmful products. The ointment stops bleeding, heals cuts, burns, sores, scalds, rashes, and all skin eruptions, in a wonderfully short time, and allays the burning, throbbing pain due to piles. It may also be used as an embrocation. It was recently applied to a skin disease of over 20 years’ standing, and effected a cure. Under the name of “Zam-Buk ” this herbal ointment may now be obtained, and it will prove invaluable for housewives, workmen, cricketers and athletes. A sample box will be sent on receipt of a penny stamp to cover postage. Address —The Zam-Buk Co., Sydney. 3
