A FAMILY COVERED WITH ECZEMA.

HOSPITAL AND DOCTORS COULD NOT CUKE. A GRAND VICTORY FOR ZAM-BUIv. Mrs. Elizabeth Towers, of 2 Boyd Street., Richmond, Melbourne, says:--"Before living in Melbourne we resided in the country, at Warburton, and the great change of climate and diet was responsible for my husband, Self, and family contracting that terrible skin complaint, eczema. First it broke out 011 our bodies like a rash, which soon, developed into a most obstinate form of eczema, inflamed, scaly, irritating encrustations enveloping the whole of our bodies. I myself was covered almost from head to foot with it, anil my husband and children were likewise smothered. The frritation was so severe that we felt as if wc could tear ourselves to pieccs. I thought wo would liavo gono mad with the torture. We could , not keep our hands from scratching, and were half-dead for want of sleep. "I consulted a doctor, and to induce sleep and give mo brief respite from the ever-torturing irritation, he gave 1110 a sleeping draught, which had tho desired effect, but the doctor could not do anything in the way of ridding 1110 of the eczema. "We then attended tlio hospital, but, although tho doctors treated 11s, and applied many ointments and salves, they were unalilo to do us any good, and, if anything, wc suffered more than ever. "My husband seemed to bo worso than I was—it was pitiful to see him. Ho was laid up tor weeks, unable to work, and fho children could hardly walk. My eldest boy, now 16, was so smothered with the eczema that the pin's point could not have been placed between tho eczema sores. "Thus for two years wo suffered. But just when things were at their very worst we happened to read of some of the remarkable cures by Zam-Buk Balm and Zam-Buk Soap—cases very similar in severity to our own—and wo resolved at once to try these remedies, and see if (hey would bo as successful in our eases; so wo purchased a largo pot of Zam-Buk Balm and a tablet of Zam-Buk Soap to start with. "Myself and husband applied Zam-Buk to tho children and ourselves, and the immediate relief wo experienced was wonderful—tho balm soothed the terrible irritation at once, and wc could actually feel Zam-Buk at work, reducing and drawing out tho inflammation, cleansing tho diseased under-tissues, and drying up the cczoma patches. l'lcsontly ZantBuk drew all the great eezema sores into separate places like boils, the disease being thus concentrated in these, and leaving the surrounding skin clean and healthy. Continuing with Zam-Buk. the boil-like eruptions broke, and formed an nutlet for the diseased mailer, which we then squeezed out. We now wa.-hed the parts with Zam-Buk Soap, and, after drying, again applied Zam-Buk. and in a Utile while the sores were all healed up with new, clean, sound, healthy skin. Now our skins are perfect, and without spot or blemish, and, thanks entirely to Zam-Buk Balm and Znm-Buk Medicinal Soap, we find ourselves free from ono of tho most terrible skin troubles which afflict mankind."
