ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN.
FISH BONE PENETRATED THUMBNASTY INFLAMED WOUND HEALED BY ZAM-BUK. Mr. R. Fitzsimons, a fish-dealer, of 70 Stanton Street, Carlton, Melbourne, say.?: "While handling fish I get some nasty wounds at times which take a serious turn. These mostly happen through tho bones of fish penetrating the flesh. lii many eases these punctures bring on blood-poisoning, causing agony, and would assume'dangerous proportions if not properly attended to. "One day t sustained a very nasty wound down the thumb just under the nail; Tlie suddenness of the stab, for f' can call it no less, made me jump. As I drew the bone out it .-remed to stick, caused by the glutinous substance on it, which' is highly poisonous. At first I did not take much notice, but in a day or two'my thumb began to swell and'got. extremely painful. Poulticing did no geoil and my thumb nail began to como off.
