OUR SOLDIERS WANT MORE

2AM-BUK. Remarkable Letters from the Trenches. UTters received from the firing line ill I'ranee ami Belgium prove how indispensable Zam-liul; is to our gallant soldiers, not only for mending the cuts and bruises incidental to the hard life in the trenches, hut also for healing their .-.ofo feet after long marches, and preventing frostbite and rheumatism.

Lanee-f'orpnral J. P. Delaney, a Distinguished Conduct Medallist, of the 2nd Roval Irish Hegt.. ill a letter dated November 21. savs:— “A pot of Zam-Buk is like a loaf of bread to a starving man. On the retreat from Mons we had a forced march of 37 miles, and not a man who used ZamBuk on his feet fell out. I can safely recommend Zam-Buk to everyone as being the best healer on the market. Private K. Westfield, No. "f" Company, 3rd Worcesters, which regiment Sir .John French singled out for special praise, writes from the trenches on December 7 "I wish we had more Zam-Buk sent out from home—it would be much better if more Zam-Buk was sent instead of so much tobacco. We find Zam-Buk the best remedy for sore hands after trench-digging, and for frost-bite, cracks, and cold sores.” Another Distinguished Conduct Medallist, Private A. Mutlow. 2nd South Stas, writing from "Somewhere in Fram-n” on December o. says;— "ln my opinion every soldier should have a pot of Zam-Buk in his kit when ‘trekking,’ as Zam-Buk is the most valuable addition to his marching powers. lam a constant user of Zam-Buk for chafed legs co 1 suffer on long marches). I brought a supply out here from Aldershot. and it is in great demand amongst my comrades. Zam-Buk is also very effective for galled feet and blistered heels.” Sergeant A. J. Karl, D.C.M.. "C” Squadron, loth (King’s) Hussars, writing on November 11. -ays:— “Zam-Buk is so compact and keeps so well under the trying conditions of warfare that it is undoubtedly the best ‘first-aid' a soldier can carry with him. I brought four pots of Zam-Buk with me when I left England, and they were soon used up by myself and comrades, together with more boxes which they brought with them.”

Tho above letters, whieh have, all come through and been passed by tho Censor, clearly show that our Soldiers urgently want more Znm-Bnk. Everyone of our readers, therefore, cannot do their soldier and sailor friends a better service than by sending them a Is fid or 3s fid (contains nearly four times the quantity) pot of Zam-Buk.
