THE following remarkable
account of Zam-Buk's triumph over a desperate poisoned wound is contained B. Corria. Tisq..
in a letter from C. B. Coates, from a recent photo.
Esq. Dept. of Customs, Rabaul, West, Pacific, who writes :----" Whilst visiting outlying islands, I bad the misfortune to severely cut my ankle ou a submerged pieco of coral, The injury gave great pain and swelled alarmingly, und medical treatment failed to heal the ghastly wound. 1 was so reconciled to the idea of having my foot taken off, that I decided to send in my resignation.
"Our day happeŝing 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."
