I was so reconciled to the idea of having my foot taken off, that I decided to send in my resignation.

"One day happening 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:"
