A POISONED FOOT. "IT GOT SO BAD HE COULD NOT PUT HIS FOOT TO THE GROUND." "My little boy Jim, aged fourteen, had a very bad poisoned foot for some time, writes Mr?. K. Adams, 18 Edinburgh Street, Burnley, Vic. "It was caused through a rush- nail running up it somo time aeo. U got so bad that ho could not put his foot to tho ground, or put his boot on. It was very much inllamed, and had proud flesh round it. Wo tried all sorts of ointments on it. but they did him not a bit of good. It was three times as big as the other foot, and it used to throb with the pain. I really did not know what to do with it. His father said he would hare to go to the hospital with it, but it happened that a friend brought me a box of a new ointment, called Rexona, and asked me to try it. My litcle boy said, 'Yes, mother, I will try anything for a little relief,' for ho cculd not sleep at night with tho pain, so he used the ointment, and tbo next day ho said, 'Why mother, my foot docs not feel half so sore, and I can stand my whole weight on it.' He kept on using it for a week. At the end of that time he was completely cured. Rexona seemed to draw out all the poisoned matter from Uie sore, and then healed it D[j clean nnd frn?h. My littli- girl's hands were also covered with sores. 1 hey wrn> so bad she wa~ sent • li.mm fnini school. She had th' , -=oro.- fin- "nine lime.
