The World's Greatest
SKIN-HEALER
Science and Nature have combined to produce in Zam-Buk the most per- fect healing substance the world has ever known. This rare balm is prepared from valuable herbal, extracts distinguished for their high value in the treatment of superficial injuries and skin disease.
Zam-Bok is instantly soothing where there is pain, irritation or inflammation. It kills dangerous germs, expels poison and corruption, and rapidly heals damaged or diseased skin.
Owing to its pure vegetable character, and free- dom from animal fats Zam-Buk never turnsrancid like ordinary ointments. For its absolute re- liability and wide range of usefulness Zam-Buk
