OUR SOLDIERS WANT MORE ZAM-BUK. REMARKABLE LETTERS FROM THE TRENCHES.

Letters received from the firing line in France and Belgium prove how indispensable Zam-Buk is to our gallant soldiers, not only for mending the cuts a-nd bruises incidental to the hard life in the trenches, but also for healing their sore feet after long marches, and preventing frost-bite and rheumatism. Lance-Corporal J. P. Delaney, a Distinguished Conduct Medallist, of the 2nd Royal Irish Regiment, in a letter dated 24th November, says :— " A pot Of ZamBuk out here is like a loaf of bread to a starving man. On the retreat from Mons we had a forced march of 37 miles, and not a man who used Zam-Buk on hie feet fell out. I can safely recommend Zanvßuk to everyone as being the best healer on the market." Private E. Westfield. No. 9896, C Company, 3rd Woicesters, which regiment Sir John French singled out for special praise, writes from the trenches on 7th December :—": — " I wish we had more Zam-Buk sent out from home-— it would be much better if more Zam-Buk was sent instead of so much tobacco. We find, Zam-Buk the best remedy for sore hands after trench-dig-ging, and for frost-bite, cracks, and cold sores." Another 1 Distinguished Conduct Medallist, Private 'A:- Mutlow, 2nd South Staffs, writing from " Somewhere in France" on sth December, says :—": — " In my opinion every soldier should have a pot, of Zam-Buk in his kit when ' trekking,' as Zam-Buk is the most valuable addition to his marching powers. I am a constant user of Zam-Buk for chafed legs (from which I suffer on long marches). I brought a supply out here from Aklershot, and it ia in great demand amongst my comrades. Zam-Buk is also very effective for galled feet and blistered heels." Sergeant A. J. Earl, D.C.M., C Squadron, 15th (King's) Hussars, writing on lltb November, says :—": — " ZamBuk is so compact and keeps so well under the trying conditions of warfare that it is undoubtedly the best 'firstaid ' a, soldier can carry with him. I brought four pots of Zam-Buk with me when I left England, and they were soon used up by myself and comrades, together with more boxes which they brought with them." The above letters, which have all conic through and been passed by the Censor, clearly show that oiir soldiers urgently want more Zam-Buk. Everyone of our readers, therefore, cannot do their soldier and sailor friends a better service than by sending them a 'Is 6d or 3s 6d (contains nearly four times the quantity) pot of Zam-Buk. — Advt.
