WINTER ECZEMA.

Zam-Buk Balm Pbomptlt Cube* this Tebbible Wisteb Skin-scourge. Eczema is probably more prevalent in winter than at any other season. The explanation is found in the adverse influence on the system (and especially on the skinX of the cold, biting winds, the damp-, clammy air, and the unusual amount of confinement indoors. The skin has a tendency to get dogged up, impurities collect in the system, the functions essential to health are impeded, and when there is » predisposition to Eczema the disease is brought out in all its maddening torture.' In the severest xises Zam-Buk is found to allay the itching in a wonderful manner. It gradually restores the diseased skin to its normal appearance, and paves the way] ■to a complete and lasting cure. Mrs G. Barber, of E6 Nelson street,Petone, Wellington, N.Z., says< —"For two years I suffered from Eczema. S tried several so-called remedies, consulted a dootor, and for some time ueed an ointment prescribed by him, but -all to no purpose—l obtained no relief. About 12 months ago I received one of your ZamBuk pamphlets, which I carefully perused l, and noting was a proved cure for Eczema, I decided tp give it a trial. The _ first application proved soothing, and s considerably relieved the constant itching caused, by. the Eczema. This in itself was very gratifying, and I determined to give the Balm a fair trial. I have now every, reason to be thankful for that decision. After using eight tins of Zam-Buk Balm/ my complaint left me. I have proved! that Zam-Buk is all it is claimed to be, and! for he future I shall never be without iia in my home. Zam-Buk is the poor man'o friend." _. , Zam-Buk Balm surea chilblains, cold* sores, chapped hands, sore Hds, roughness.' frostbite, winter eczema, piles, eruptions, poisoned wounds, etc., and is invaluable* aa an embrocation for rheumatism, sciatica, chest .cold, sore throat, lumbago, and -all deep-seated pains.
