"I cut the last finger of my left hanc with a piece of rusty tin," says Mr. Harold E. CajTick. of 17 Eulc Street, Rich mond, Melbourne. "Blood-poison set it and the' finger assumed enormous propor tion-s, swelling up with inflammation Stiffnoss occurred in the joints and spread np tho arm. I could not uso my hand or scarcely use my wrist. The flesh wa: eaten riprhf away to the bone, and foi six months I nidwred unspeakable agony During that time I experimented wifcl a lot of remedies, but not ono of then did me any good. "Finally I was advised to try Zam-Bul and was dolighted_ to find that the h'rs two or three applications pave me sonv relief from tho awful burning pain. ] kept on applying Zam-Buk, and in tim< oil the po'sonous pus and matter wa, withdrawn and the healing process be came very rapid. Eventually Zam-Bul completely healed tho wound in a won fleriul manner and no spot or scar re wains to show where tho injury was. ' tan strongly recommend • Zam-Buk am always keep a pot by for emergencies." A pot of Zam-Buk should always bkept bandy in overy home, workshop am on avety. farm, sheep run, and cattl station. The prompt application of Zam Buk in all cases of cuts, scratches, bite and wounds will prevent festering am eenous complications. Zara-Buk is . ata a wonderful remedy for piles. Obtain able.of all stores and chemists at Is. 6d per pot, or large size 3s. 6d. Alway keep a, pot handy,
