TWELVE YEARS' BAD LEG CAUSED BY A KICK.
6 DOCTORS AND 3 HOSPITALS FAILED TO CURE.—i_AM-i_.UK HUALs. LN A MARVELLOUS WAY.
Mr W. Clarko, of the '■Courier" Office, Clifton, Q., says:—"Twelve years ago, while playing football, I was kicked on the right shin. Tho injury was most painfuL but foolishly I neglected it. Poison must havo got into the wound, for no sooner did it appear to heal than it. would break out again into a nasty ulcerous sore. This would break out, and soon the leg was in a nasty condition. After being skilfully treated by six different doctors, who did their best to try and cure mo, my leg broke out again, throe times in New South Wales and twice in Queensland. I underwent two grafting operations, in which 32 pieces of skin were grafted on, but the ulcer broke out again through the grafts after one month's freedom from misery.' I was in three different hospitals, but after 1 left them I was as bad as ever.
"For twelve long years did I suffer iv this way, and had. given, up hope of eyer getting cured —I was in despair. A*, this stago a friend strongly recommended Zam-Buk, and to encourage mc to try this balm, bought a supply and gave it to mc. I obtained such relief from the first two or threo applications that I wns more than encouraged t» persevere. I laid in a good supply of Zam-Buk, and dressed tho wound twice a day. Evidence of healine. soon appeared, and all running ceased. ZamBuk onded all pain, irritation nnd s-T-ar-int., and the wound bec.*.mo cleansed. I persisted with Zam-Buk until mv leg was. completely cured, and new .-ilrir* had formed over tho onceiiiiured "place.
"T rpnlly cannot say he** thankful I feel for mv cure by Zam-Buk. It resc""'l mo f"i-n a \o"<x, of. ngony nnd m'«"tnl worry.7' keep a not. of Znm-Buk handy. C«*t*. a supply fn-r-n*"'f-oir'■your stoves or chemists, J«> Gd and 3s M per not. 8
