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-Buk is instantly soothing where there is pain: irritation or inflammation. It kills dangerous germs, expels poison and corruption, and rapidly beals damaged or diseased skin.
Owing to its pure vegetable character, and free- domfrom animal fats Zais Buk never turns rancid like ordinary ointments. For its absolute re- liability and wide range of usefulness Zam-Buk
is described as
