After Zam-Buk had been applied for a little time it took all the inflammation and matter out, also, the core, and healed tho 6ore in remarkably short time. -, ,- "We have also used it in England f """"" '"'i'"'" s . iuM'-'lini; bums, nnr nas been most soothing and'rapid , healing, and now we are seldom w' u ,ji.i of Min-Buk in the homo f/ eral use."
