ZAM-BUK ROUTS FIERY DIS- FIGURING DISEASE & GROWS NEW HEALTHY SKIN.
The ancient Greek meaning of the word Eczema is "to boil over" and a disease which is veritably
boiling
ver of all harmful matter contained in the affected parts. the body could not be more aptly named.
FL
Dry, weeping and sealy eczema are of hot most dreadful scourge climates. The disease attacks chil-1 dren and adults and unless trented by a powerful healer and germicide lik: Zain-Buk, eczema may, in its chronic stages, produce blindness, deafness and baldness..
Eczema may. arise through the scratching of an itchey spot of pimple for through an abrasion, knock, cut or trivial wound where skin is broken. for damaged. Early symptoms of eczema are reddened patches of skin on which tiny watery, hends appear. The areas gradually become swollen and inflamed, there is a fiery irrita- tion which becomes more intense as the eruptions bürst and discharge.
Never ignore these carly symptoms i At the least sign of soreness or Itching, anoint the place with that wonderful soothing, and healing balm -Zam-Buk. The rare herbal oils and extracts which compose Zam-Buk are so perfectly constituted and so refined that they are quickly absorb- ed deep into the tissues where they attack skin diseases at its very roots.
Zam-Buk quickly soothes the fiery tortured skin; it kills and expels poisonous germs; draws away corrup tion and disease, and grows, new healthy skin. Zam-Buk is a valuable revolutionised discovery which the
treatment of all skin diseases and in- juries. t is a safe, pure and reliable balm free from the rancid animal fats and harsh mineral drugs found in comman ointments and dressings.
All English Chinese Dispensaries supply Zam-Buk in hamly size boxes. Direct from Agents, A. B. Moulder & Co., Queen's Road Central, Hong- kong.

The acting is of a high standard, in which connexion the work of K. Sojin, as Charlie Chan, is particu- lary good. We can commend the picture as being something out 'the ordinary. A word should be added concerning the appropriate music provided by the Queen's Orchestra under Grovini, which materially helps to create the correct atmosphere.
Other features in an excellent programme are a lengthy news reel and a very funny "Felix"
