CHILDHOOD'S MISHAPS.

Zam-Btjk Balk is

Mother's Fbiend.

The mishapa of ohild-li£e are many; cuts, scratches, burns, brui6es, Bcalda, and gashes befall children everywhere, the sight of which often makes their mothers turn <fch*ir heads in horror. Mothers who -take the precaution to keep a pot of ZamBuk always handy, however, have no need for alarm. Prompt dressing wJth this wonderful healer protects the injury from all poisonous influences, and heals after Nature's most approved method.

" I have successfully used Zam-Buk Balm for the general ailments and skin troubles which so often occur among: a family of children." say? Mrs W. Cook, of Marsh street, Stanfchorpe, Q., "but I found it particularly valuable a few months ago when my little child met with an accident. A tub of clothes fell on her foot and cut completely through the end of one of her toes. The wound became bad. inflamed, festered, and swollen up to the second joint, with an exudition of an offensive odour, and I feared that my little daughter mig-ht lose her toe. By good fortune a neighbour, who had u*od Zam-buk, gave me a little to try, and in about a week's time all the inflammation and festering 1 had vanished, and my child's toe was quite healed. The scar only remains to show the extent of the wound."
