LEG SAVED BY
7am-Buk
THE following remarkable
account of Zam-Buk's triumph over a "desperate poisoned wound is contained in a letter from C. B. Coates, Esq., Dept. of Customs, Rabaul, West Pacific, who writes:-"Whilst visiting outlying islands, I had the misfortune to severely cut my ankle on a submerged pieco of coral. The injury gave great pain and swelled alarmingly, and medical treatment failed to heal the ghastly wound. I was so reconciled to the idea of having my foct taken off, that I decided to send in my resignation.
"One day happening to hear that the store had just received a supply of Zam-Buk, I sent over for a box. After two or three applications of this grand herbal balm I found that the discharge grew less and the angry-looking wound began to get a healthier colour. I persevered with the treatment and now, thanks solely to Zam-Buk, complete healing has resulted. I am cured of as ugly- looking a tropical sore as could be imagined."
