HOW ZAM-BUK BALRI AIDS THE MISSIONARY

Grateful Acknowledgement from thj Islands. The Rev. Brother Alphonsus, S.M., Catholic Miseion. Nukualofa, Tonga Tapu, South Sea Islands, writes:— "l beg to express my sincerest thanks for the goo<l Zam-Buk Balm is doing out here. My, Superior, the Right Rev. Dr Olier, S.M.. Bishop of Tipasa and "Vie. Apostolic of Central Oceania, has been suffering, from ft severe attack of rheumatism and numbness in one of his 'knees for some months, and .although he has tried all known remedies, he was unable to get rid of the pain. I gave him a small pot of Zam-Buk Balm and told 1 him to try it. He did so, and gained great relief. On finishing " the first pot the pain and numbness was completely banished. The very evening I gave Dt Olier the balm he was bitten by a home(, pn the palm of the hand. He applied a little Zam-Buk. and in a few seconds the pain had ceased, and no swelling appeared. When I came over here to Tonga Tapu last August I found one of the natives suffering from a "rotten" ankle. It was ulcerated and swollen to the size of a duck's egg. I took it in hand and treated the wound with Zam-Buk Balm, which has checked the ulceration. It is now. drying up splendidly and healing Tapidly. I hope to have it completelw cured a week hence. The Rev. Father Bellwald, S.M., director of the college here, was suffering from a severe cold in the head, resulting in copious discharges from the nose. S gave him a small pot of Zam-Buk, and told him to follow the directions and U6B it. He did so. and was completely relieved of the distressing complaint aftef twr> inhalations." No more convincing proof iliat Zam< Buk is the natferal and ideal skin-soothed and healer could be desired. Of r\l medicine vendors at Is 6d per pot, or 5s 6d family size.
