INSECT BITE CAUSED POISOfIJSD FOOT. ANOTHER WONDERFUL CUBE BY, ZAM-BUK AFTEE HOSPITAL TREATMENT FAILED. The grave clanger of neglecting insect bibes is illustrated by the case of | Mr. W. J. M'Gee, of 236 Wright-street, j Adelaide, S.A., who says :—"I: — "I suffered agony from a- poisoned foot. I think the trouble was first caused by an insect bite between the toes, which became inflamed and worked up to the instep, then developed into a very big abscess. Treating the wound with vari- • ous applications, I did not get any benefit, so I went to the hospital. There they poulticed my foot for eight days, ! and during the whole of -this time I , could not get any sleep as the pain was 1 so terrible. I could not even put my . foot to the floor without its going black, J and I had to lie up, not being able to I * move. The treatment here did not ] bring the desired effect, nor, in fact, did any of the other treatments I eventually tried I even had leeches put to the affected part, but they did not do any good. "One day I carefully washed the wound with Zam-Buk Soap, and then applied some Zam-Buk Ralm. This gave , me immediate ease, so I continued using Zam-Buk. On the ninth day after commencing the Zam-Buk treatment, iW wound was drawn to a head and burst and discharged freely. After all the inflammation was drawn away there was a large hole in which I could insert the tip of my little finger. Howlver, I persevered with Zam-Buk, and in a few days the hole had closed up completely. As I continued with Zam-Buk, so my foot improved until it was completely cured, and I was able to put my boot on and get about once more. "A short time ago I scratched my wrist, which assumed threatening proportions, but a few applications of, - Zam-Buk soon put it right. I cannot over-estimate the value of Zam-Buk too much for the way it served me when all' else failed." Sold by §J1 stores a&d chfimifilg..~Advt,
