for All Your
SKIN TROUBLES
PROOF that Zam-Buk fulfils its claim to be "The World's
Great Healer is to be found ten thousand-fold in the remarkable cures it performs.

Thus Zam-Buk exerts a soothing, purifying and germ- destroying influence in tissues far below the surface skin where eczema, psoriasis, ulcers, blood-poison, etc., have their roots. Fiery irritation is subdued in a wonderful way by Zam-Buk, germs are swiftly destroyed, tissues are cleansed of inflammation and disease, and painful sores, rashes
and cruptions are quickly cured.
In addition, to its other unique
properties Zam-Buk grows new skin in
à wonderful way. It is always to be
relied upon for speedy bealing of cuts, burns, insect bites, atings, etc.
