CHAPS AND GOLD SORES. — ■''..' ♦'. ———■ ■ ■ ZAM-BUK BALM SOOTHES AND HEALS. Chaps and painful cold sores generally occur on the hands and lips, and are occasioned by exposure to frosty air and biting winter winds. They should be treated with applications of Zam-Buk Balm, which speedily closes the sores, and makes the skin sound and strong. Mr J. H. Reid, a shoemaker, residing in Illawarra Road, Marrickville, Sydney, says:—" I have great pleasure instating that 1 have proved ZamBuk Balm all that it is claimed to be. I have used ointments, but none of them come up to the great healing powers of Zam-Buk. For chapped hannds I. fiht it invaluable. My occupation necessitating m- hands being a good deal in water, the knuckles crack and become very sore, but by applying a little Zam-ljuk Balm on retiring, in' the m<Srning my: hands are quite soft, and all the pain gone. I may also state that when driving at this time of the year, the face, on returning home, is often smarting, but an application of Zam-Buk soon takes the ' smart' out. Zam-Buk is also splendid for the children's cold in the nose. By rubbing a little Zam-Buk on each side of the nostrils, the child is eased considerably, and a good night's rest assured." Rubbing Zam-Buk Balm in is the surest way to rub pain out. It is unequalled as an embrocation for sore' throat and; chest, stiff neck, chill, coldpains in limbs, joints or back; and cures chapped hands, chilblains, eczema, cold-sores, scalp diseases, pimples, piles, chafing, cuts, scalds, etc. From all chemists and stores, at Is 6d per pot, or 3s 6d large family size (containing nearly four times Is od). >. ■ From time to time, lumps of butter are dug out of the Irish bogs, and specimens may be seen in various museums. A chemical examination ■ has recently been made by Mr Radchffe and Mr Maddocks of a sample of ,sucli butter which was found below the surface of a bog in County Tyrone. Ihe original lump, which weighed 20 pounds, is probably some centuries old, and it is suggested that it had been put in to peat water to preserve it or to give it a flavour; and had then been forgotten. Yet so effectually had the tat been preserved by the peat water that it still retained many of the chemical characteristics of butter fat, though naturally its appearance had greatly changed. The exterior was white and granular, and the whole mass had been converted into a waxlike material. The ordinary cough medicine may sooth^the throat, but it has no power to neal ,■ recovery is not complete, and a second attack is more liable to follow. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy j quite ciitterent, because it not only soothes but also heals, so that the affected parts are restored to a healthy condition, and the danger of a future attack is removed.

Zimmerman was burned by tar more than a year ago. After he was discharged from the hospital the skin of the eyelids began to contract, and he could not close his eyes. This threatened his sight. A few days later •+ T as m, n*? St- Margaret's HosP i' ii c cut*cle over the eyes was carefully removed by the surgeons, and. new skin, taken from the thigh, grafted over the muscle of the eyelid. Several operations have been required to getthis skin properly placed. The physicians think that within ten days the patient will be able to open and close his eyes as easily, or almost as easily, as he would had he not been injured. One thing only will be lack- ! ing—eyelashes. These surgery cannot supply. The skin has also contracted about the mouth, and an operation was necessary to widen the mouth. This was done by making small incisions at each corner and sewing the inner membrane to the outer skin. Surgeons say this is the first case in Kansas City where a man has been provided with both eyelids. Several times small portions of skin have been grafted on one eye.
