THE DISCOVERY

of Zam-But has revolutionised the treatment of skin aliments. There are many ointments but only one. Zam-Buk, which is the arch-enemy of deep-seated skin affections. Nothing can approach Zam-Bule for real healing value.

In an unexcelled manner Zam-Buk soothes pain, allaya inflammation, draws poison -out of a wound, conquers ulcera and eczema, psoriasis, scalp. trouble, blood-polson, etc.

The unique success of this preparation is due to certain rare and costly Berbs excli- sively used in its manufacture and to its freedom from lard and any of the other animal fats hitherto employed in aicin remedies

Zam-Buk is not a fatty, pore ing ointment. It is a refined herbal balm which parifes the skin, makes it soft and Bexible, and keeps it clear and healthy.

1.E may thrill to your smartness yet never notice the cut Horarior of Law. But should he glimpse the slightest trace of unsightly hair-the whole impression is spoiled; he classifies you from then or as a woman hacking in fastidiousness.

Avoid this unfair criticism. Keep your underarms, fore arms and neck clean and fresh with the depilatory famous in France for over one hundred years-X-BAZIN! Safe, easy to use, delicately fragrant, X-BAZIN leaves your skin petal-soft and white X-BAZIN does not coarsen, darken, or encourage future hair growth.
