effective. For a good sized bug a yard
of linen Is required, the actual bag tak-

HANDS COVERED WITH ECZEMA
AMPUTATION FEARED. BUT ZAM-BUK SAVED.
"For three long months 1 was not able to attend to lay own
needs; and for three weeks the eczema on my hells was so bad that.
I was linable to feed myself. I had to be fed as one feeds a baby,
because I could not bold knife, fork, spoon or asp," So says Miss
Violet McSoriey, of 75, Core Street, Sault Ste. Marie, in telling bow
Zam-Buk cured her of eczema. She adds: "Hands, wrists and arms op
to the elbows were covered with eczema. The itching and the soreness were
. nigh unbearable. As the disease developed, the skin actually peeled off
leaving raw sores. The palms, fingers, backs of my hands and wrists
were all in this shocking state, and I was forced to sit in agony
• the while."
"The sew sorsa were soon in a foul condition, and my finger nails, all
except two, fell off. During the different stages of any trouble, I sought
the advice of three different doctors and received treatment, butt although
getting alight relief at first there was no cure. Amputation was at one
time thought necessary but the timely introduction of lam -Bok prevented
this fearful ending."
"7,am-bask was recommended by a friend and we bought a supply.
The first few applications gave me a little ease, but It was not IIattl I had
continued with it for some time that I felt a decided improvement.
After that my cure went on quickly- yam-ituk did what everything
else had failed to do. Now my bands and arms aquite freed from the
terrible eczema." ore
