Tired Feet.

SORE, painful feet is one of the worst afflictions

that a man can have, especially when his work means long hours of walking and standing. Don't aggravate the trouble by using poisonous lotions and powders. Simply bathe the feet in warm water, then freely anoint the soles, insteps, ankles and toes, with Zam-Buk.

This rare herbal balm, penetrates deep into the tissuer. It heals from below and grows new healthy skin. At the same time, Zam-Buk removes the cause of bad feet by the relieving swollen blood-vessels and drawing out poisonous secretions which cause soreness and inflam- mation. Hard growths, callousies, bunions, etc., are softened by Zam-Buk and easily removed.

Don't suffer pain any longer. Try Zam-Buk to-night t

Kam-Buh also oures susama, brichly best, ringroom, bad legs, slaars, bolsona wounds, piles, ante, bruisce, sprains, incsei bilen, ties
