SKIN SPECIALIST'S AND NURSE'S

TREATMENT FAILED.

ZAM-BUK CURES AFTER FIVE

YEARS' MISERY,

"Five years ago, when on a trip to Queensland, I was bitten on the ankle by an insect," says Mrs. Millie Watson, of 26 Campbell Street, Glebe, Sydney. "This was only a trivial affair, but dye from my stocking got into it, and it deevloped to a case of bloodpoisoning. The sore started to. fester and sjaread until it turned into a nasty ulcerous wound, causing me terrible pain. I would twist and turn about at night on account of the agony, and could get no sleep. I consulted an eminent skin specialist, who treated me with medicine and ointments for two years, but it was money wasted, for he did me no good. A. nurse gave me a recipe for a treatment, which I tried for twelve months; this was also useless. I then experimented with a great number of ordinary remedies, but instead of getting better the injury seemed to get worse. "At last my sister persuaded me to give a trial to Zam-Buk, and I am thankful for her advice, for I purchased a supply and regularly dressed the wound with it. Zam-Buk quickly drew out all the inflammation and bad matter and reduced the size of the ulcer. As I contirmel to bathe the wound night and morning and apply ZamBuk the ulcer gradually grew less, and finally disappeared, the irritation ceased, and new healthy skin grew oyer the affected part, until finally the wound was completely healed, and left no trace where it had been. I feel thankful to Zam-Buk for my now healthy condition, which is delightful after five years' agony." Zam-Buk is sold by all stores and chemists at 1/6 and 3/6 per pot.
