THE HONGKONG- DAILY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 4TH, 1921.

HISTORY tells us that the fighting Gladiators of

ancient Rome healed their wounds and sores with precious herbal oils and balms, which are said to have knitted the damaged tissues together in miraculous fashion.

Though the highly-prized secrets of those precious healers were lost with the fall of Rome itself, the in- troduction of the great herbal balm, Zam-Buk, has furnished their true successor. It is so marvellously like them in its origin and in its effect.

The

Soothing and Healing

touch of Zam-Buk is to-day known the world over. Wherever there is a cut, burn or scald, a festering or poisoned sore, a patch of eczema, pimples or “ rash, Zam-Buk ends the trouble once and for all; the same with ulcers, ringworm and piles.

Zam-Buk contains No Trace Of Animal Fat or Mineral Poison. Every ingredient in Zam-Buk is scientifically tested in the chemists' laboratory before the pure rich herbal essences are refined and blended together in special silver-lined vessels. Never at any time during the process of manufacture is Zam-Buk touched by human hands.

„Nothing else known to Science performs" such marvellous bealing or dispels disease-from the tissues so quickly and so thoroughly as Zam Buk does; it is absolutely
