POISONED LEG.

Zam-Buk's Antiseptic and Healing 1 Powers Again Prominent.** The dire results arising out of neglect of a "simple" scratch could not be more forcibly illustrated than in the following case, and no more conclusive proof of the. wonderful antiseptic and purifying qualities of Zarn-Buk could be desired Mr F. Billington, a gardener residing in Buffalo road, Rydc. neai Sydney, says: — " While following my occupation I scratched my leg with a blackberry thorn, and took no notice of :t.: t. A fortnight later bloodpoisoning set in, and ran vig.ht up to my knee. My 'eg was swollen, and as black as ink. Th» doctor whom I consulted advised me to go at onca to Prince Alfred Hospital, which I did. I underwent an operation, and the doctor opened up my leg to the knee, but the blocd-poisoning spread and ran right up into the groin, which necessitated a further operation. Lr all, the> doctors opened up my leg in twenty-three places, and inserted fourteen tubes. Even then the doctors were not satisfied with the state of the leg, and were on several occasions on the point of amputating it. For six months I was thus undergoing treatment in the hospital. When I left the hospital the blood-poi. e oning had been practically removed, but owing to the sinews of my leg being contracted through being in an iron c-radls, I was forced to walk on. crutches for tltiee weeks The leg appeared to bo doing nicely when 1 accidentally gave* it a knock. The results of this were dire. AU the wounds broke out again, and tho leg became very much inflamed and swollen. I applied several treatments, but the results wer< not satisfactory, and hearing ZamBuk 6O welJ epoken of, I decided to give ifc a trial. \n les^ than twenty-four hours after the first application of Zam-Buk I found great' relief. The swelling and inflammation rwibsided, and the wounds were soothed. I .jontirmed tho Zam-Buk treatment for a fortnight, by which time the wounds were healed. I feel deeply grateful for what Zam-Buk has done for me, and will never toa an opportunity of vecom* mending i x to my friends." No stronger evidence than 'he above could be needed to prove the sterling merits of Zam-Buk. Is 6d and 3a 6d per ppt g of all chemists' and stores.
