SUBGEOJSI WANTED TO AMPUTATE FINGER. MISHAP WHIDE CLEANING FISH CAUSED BLOOD-POISON. -4AM-BUK TRIUMPHS AGAIN. No matter how careful one is, accidents are bound to happen, and every wise man and woman keeps always handy a pol of Zam-Buk for emergencies. Mrs. J. Boyle, of 12 Gippsstreet, Balmain. Sydney, says :—" While cleaning some fish the knife slipped and cut the little finger of my left hand to the bone. Some of the blood on the knife from the fish got into the wound and poisoned it. My finger became inflamed to a remarkable degree, and the pain I suffered was dreadful. I went to the hospital and there the surgeon wished me to have my finger taken off, as there was a tendency for the poison to spread up the arm, but 1 would not consent to this. Mj finger was then treated with bluestone as proud flesh was forming, but this also had to be cut away. I poulticed my finger with everything 1 could think of, but nothing had any good- effect. , "At last the inflamed condition extended to my head and neck, and I was just going to give in and follow the doctor's advice and have my finger amputated, when a friend recommended Zam-Buk and gave me some to try. I applied this balm on lint night and morning, which speedily withdrew all the inflammation and eased the pain. I continued with Zam-Buk, and after about three weeks the terrible injury was healed and the sinews were contracted. Now I would not be without Zam-Buk in the house on any consideration."

The dawn of a new outlook and practice is near. Sir Fredorick Treves has spoken of "the extraordinary habit people have of taking drugs when they are ill." "If you picture," he said, "the environment of a "doctor . . . you see a room with a multiduce of shelves, covered with bottles from floor to ceiling. Those bottles are rapidly vanishing, and the time is not far distant when they will be reduced to an extremely small number. The empty shelves will be replaced by simple living, suitable diet, plenty of sun and plenty of fresh air. For Children's Hacking Cough at night, Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.
