A GRAND VICTORY FOR ZAM-BUK Mrs Elizabeth TWm, of 2' Bbyd .-it, Richmond, Mblboniiie, says: — "Before living 1 in Molibo-uirne we resided in the country, at Warburlon, and! the g'retiit- elnuige of cilimaite and elicit was responsible for my husband, self, and family eontiactivg that terrible akin domplaint, eczema. First it foroku cut on our bodies lik<3 a rush, which sjoou developed into a most obstinate form of eczema, inflamed, scaly, irritating encrustations envt-loping; the whole of our bodies. Imy .self was covered almost from head to foot with it, andl my husiband and children wero likewise smothered. The irritation Was so severe that >va felt as if wie ctouM tear ouirselv'ea to pietesL I thought we would have pone mad witii tlie torture. Wo could not keep our hajkl'K from scimtcliing 1, and were half-dYad for want of sleep. "I consulted a doctor, and to induce sleep and privo me brief respite from the erer-torturiuc? irritaition, he slave me a sleeping draught, ■\vhiuh had tho desired effect, iliiiit tho doutor could not do t'liytliing 1 in tlie way of ridding me of the eczema.. "We them alttendied th!s liogj^tal. but although the doctors treated us, and ajiplied mony ointments iind salves, they were unalble to do us any good, and, if anything 1, we suffea'ed moi'e than evei". "MV huybumd seemed, to bo w'or<e than I was—it Was pitiful to see him. He was laid up for Woeiks, unable to w^k, andl the dhildre-n could hardly walk. Mi' eldesit br>y, nnW 16, was- so smoithercd with tl<x- ' ecizema that the pin's point could not have been placed bbtween tlie eczema: siotres. "Thus for two yeara \ve suffeml.Biit justi when thing's were at tiieii 1 very worst we happened! to> read of some of the iema.r*kalble cxires bry Zam-Buk Bhilm and Zam-Buk Soap —castes very similar in seventy to our own—and we resolved at once to try these remedies aindl see if they w'o-uld be as sucaessfivl in our cases: so we purchased a large pot of ZamBuk Balm and a tablet of Zam-Bu;k Ffoap to sitai-ft, v/ith. "Myself and husbiand applied Zani Buk to the childreai and ourselves! and the immediate relief we expsriencield was wonderful—the balm soothed tho- terrible irritation at one©, and we could actually feel Zam-Buk at w'o-rk, reducing- and drawing out the. inflammation, cleansing the {teased undev-tissiies, and drying up the tcKem>ii patches. Pi-e----sently Zam-Buk chew all the ;jrreat eczema sorts into separate places like boils, the disease bein<r thu« concentrated in tliesei, and leaving th«i surrounding skin clean and healthy. Clontinuincf with Zram-Biik, the boil-like eruptionsi broike, and formed ah omtlet for the diseased matter, which we thtn squeezed out. Wo no-w washed the parts with ZamBuk Soap, andl. after drying , airain applied Za.m-Fuk, and in a little while, the sores were all healed up with new, clean, sound, healthy skin Now our skins are-perfect, and without*K,pn<t. or blomisli, and, thanks entirely to Zruii-Buk Balm and ZamBukMedicinal Soap, we find ourselvefi free from one of the most te>rribla skin troublesi which afflirt mankind." All chemiats and sii'res at Is 6d and 3s 6d pea' post.
