Swollen, Blistered, Perspiring. Tired Feet.

ORE, 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 tissues. It heals from below and grows new healthy akin. At the same time, Zam-Buk removes the cause of bad feet by relieving swollen blood-vessels and drawing out the poisonous secretions which cause soreness and inflame 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 | Zam-Ɛjuk elos aurea sasema, driskis hasi, ringworm, bed lers, wisern. Doisoned wounds, Piles, asia, bruissa, öğerine, insoti bilen, efti
