A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY'
An eminent scientist, the other day,
gave his opinion that the most wog-
derful discovery of recent years was
the discovery of Zam-Buk. •Just
think: As soon as a single thin layeir -
of Zam-Buk is applied to a wound •or
a sore, suck injury is Insured ageism's
blood poison! Not one species elf
Microbe has been found that Zam-link
does not kill!
Then again. As soon al Zarn-Bug
Is applied to a sore, or it cut, .or Isa
skin disease, it stops the smarting.
That is why children are seen friends

Again, As soon as Zam-Buk fa aatt

The tissue thus formed is 'worked nip
