OUR SOLDIERS WANT MORE ZAM-BUK.
REMABKABLE LETTERS FROM THE TRENCHES. Letters received from tho firing-line in France and Belgium provo how indispensable Zam-Buk is to our gallant soldiers, not only for mending cuts and bruises incidental s the, hard life in the trenches, but also for healing their sore feet after long marches, and preventing frost-bite and rheumatism. Lance-Corporal J. P. Delaney, «, Distinguished Conduct Medallist, of the 2nd Royal Irish Rcgt., in a letter dated November 21th, says:—" A pot of Zam-Buk out here is like a loaf of bread to a starving man. On the retreat from Mons we had a forced 0 j 37 m j] eSj and not a man who used Zam-Buk on his feet fell out. . I can safely recommend Zam-Buk. to everyone as being ttic best healer on the market. Private E. Westfield, No. 9896, "C" Company, 3rd Worcesters, which regiment Sir John Prench singled out for special praise, writes from the trenches on December 7th:—"l wish we had more Zam-Buk sent out from Home—it would be much better if more Zam-Buk was sent instead, of so much tobacco. We find Zam-Buk the' best remedy for sore hands after trench-digging, and for frostbite. cracks, and cold sores." Another Distinguished Conduct Medallist, Private A. Mutlow, 2nd South Staffs, writing from "Somewhere in France" on Dec. sth, says:—"ln my opinion every soldier should have a pot of Zam-Buk in his kit when 'trekking,' as Zam-Buk is the most valuable addition to his marching powers. I am a constant user of Zam-Buk for chafed legs (from which I suffer on long marches), I brought a supply out here from Aldershot, and it is in great demand amongst my comrades. Zam-Buk is also very effective for galled feet and blistered heels." Sergeant A. -T. Earl, D.C.M., "C" Squadron, 15th (King's) Hussars, writing on November 11th, says:—"Zam-Buk Is so compact and keeps so well undor the trying conditions of warfare that it is undoubtedly the best 'first-aid 1 a soldier can carrv with him. I brought fournots of Zam-Buk with me when I left England, and they were soon usod up by myself and comrades, together with more boxes which thoy brought with them." The above letters, which have all como through and boon passed bv the Censor, clearly show that our Soldiers urgently want more Zam-Buk. Everyone of our readers, therefore, cannot do their soldier and sailor friends a. better- service than bv sending them a Is. 6<l. or 3s. Gd. (contains nearly four times UlO quantity) pot of Zam-Buk.—Advt..
