Dressing Wounds With [Roiling Oil
Contrast Between Past and Present
The Wonderful Ads' nce .of Science
Few people have any real idea of the
great advance in the healing art, from
the pain -saving standpoint.
It is not many generations ago that
surgeons used to arrest bleeding by
.searing a wound with the red-hot end of
an instrument like a large solder-
ing iron; and almost as recently the
tourniquet was inflicting indescribable
torture on those about to face the fur-
ther terrors of amputation.
Pitiful, indeed, must have been the
sufferings of wounded soldiers before
the day of Ambrose Pare, the great
. French surgeon, who saw the brutality
of dressing wounds with boiling oil, -
end was the first to substitute the more
• humane idea of a mild emollient appli-
cation.
Just as Dr. Pare's emollient was a
huge advance upon the crude 'methods
of the French hospitals, so to -day
Zam-Buk, the new healing balm, is an
equal advance upon all other metho:is.
In Zam-Buk has been discovered ;\ a-
. tu'ne's ideal balm for procuring new,
healthy akin, and dispelling pain and
.disease. In .recent years ointments,
valves and embrocations have always
-'had to face the objection either that
they were too coarse to enter the pores
of the skin, or that their ingredients,
when sufficiently refined to be absorb-
ed, were to harsh and irritating for
general home use. The advent of Zam-
Buk overcomes both difficulties.
When you consider that the skin
contains hundreds of thousands of
pores, every one of them leading to the
blood vessels underneath, you must at
once see how injurious and dangerous
it must be to rub into the skin oint-
ments containing rancid animal fats and
mineral substances — many of which
are poisonous. You need use such no
longer, for now in Zam-buk you have
a balm or ointment composed of pure-
ly herbal essences; a balm so refined
and purified that even the delicate
skins of babies can absorb it and bene-
fit by it; a balm which, unlike the
ointments of the past, owes no part
of its composition to either the animal
or mineral world; a balm, which
viewed in every way is a natural her-
bal balm. Zam-Buk is nothing more
nor less than a combination of healing
herbal juices and essences, prepared in
bandy, useful, and concentrated form.
It is seitable for use in the nursery, as
well as in the kitchen. It is efficacious
either for cuts, scratches, bruises,
burns, scolds, sprains, and stiffness, or
for cold sores, raw, chapped hands,
chillb}ains, cold feet, bad legs, piles, in-
flamed patches, scalp irritation, sore
breasts, barbers' rash, eczema, and dis-
eased conditions of skin. When the skin
is not sore or broken, rub it in to rub
out the pain of neuralgia, tie, sciatica,
lumbago and rheumatism. Inhaling
the odors of Zam-Buk will cure a cold
in the head. .An ordinary box may be
had from any druggist for 50 cents, or
postpaid upon receipt of price from the
' Zam-Buie Co., Colborne street, Toronto.
The proprietors of this preparation
have decided to send out free sample
!boxes to all. our readers, and particu-
lars of the offer will be found in the
next column.
Medical inen and nurses everywhere
recognize the unique excellence of Zam-
IBuk, and it may be fairly claimed for
it that it is the healer which Nature has
intended man to use ever since she be-
queathed to him the instinct to rub a
place that hurts.
A NURSE AS WITNESS.
Sister I-]annah's Story.
Some remarkable evidence has been
given by a professional nurse, throw-
ing an interesting sidelight on the re-
souroefulness of the members of this
; noble calling.
For thirty years Sister Hannah, of 2
Bell View, Marsh Green, Edenbridge,
Kent, has obtained a wide experience
of nursing, training at St. Thomas Hos-
pital, London, England, and latterly de-
!voting
e-voting herself to the care of private
eases.
Recently she took charge of the case
of an aged lady, and what threatened
Ito prove a serious complication appear- ;
at one day in the shape of an obstinate
gore. It was about, the size of a. ten
cent piece, and is supposed to have been
caused by a simple scratch from the
rough edge of an enameled utensil.
The sequel is so remarkable that it

sores. My parents had an awful time
with zee. The sores 'mattered,' and
spread, until I was completely disfig-
ured.
"We were terribly upset," interposed
her father, who was present. "We
called in several doctors, but in vain,
for the blotches remeiaod, and iny
child in her agony w,rutcl sc*stet,
scratch, scratch. We were told. that
the disease would take a tarn when
she was seven years old, out no Menge
came. We were then told we :mad
have to wait till she was fo".trieon. We
began to look upon the ease as hope-
less. In all, we tried ,at least nine
doctors, and wasted a small fortune."
"As I grew up," resumed Miss Wood,
"I suffered more intensely-. "On my
bad days I was positively ashamed of
my appearance, and very frequently I
had to stay away fr"oiu my work.
Blotched on the neck .itncl face, and my
hair coming out in 'handfuls, I could
not mix even with any friends.
"Doctors were useless in my case,
and we had to. look out for some other
source of relief. Nine months ago we
obtained a free sample of Zam-Buk,
and almost from the first there were
signs that Zama -leek was something
more than a mere ointment or salve.
Day after day I dressed' my sores, and
was soon pleasantly surprised to no-
tice how less troublesome they grew.
My heed. has now been cleared. of the
sores completely, and I have more hair
than, ever I could boast. As• you see,
my face is also clear. Everywhere my
skin is as hemlhhy as it ought et be. I

can attend my work regularly, and I can

of keeping apart from the rest of wom-
ankind."

PERRY NORMAN JUSTIFIED IN
KILLING HIS FATHER.
The Coroner's Jury, After Hearing the
Sad Story of the North Bay Tragedy,
Exonerates the Boy Who Struck the
Blow.
A North Bay despatch: "We find that
Edward Norman carne to his death by a
blow from an axe in the hands of his
son Percy, which was dealt in defence
of his mother. We bring in a verdict
of justifiable homicide."
This was the verdict given to -night by
the jury which, under direction of Dr.
Md11urchy, • the coroner, has been in-
quiring into the killing of Thornton at
his home on Saturday night last by his
thirteen -year-old son. _Before the ver-
dict was given special witnesses were ex-
amined.
Dr. Brandon, who performed the post-
mortem, found the scalp cut and the
skull badly fractural. He believed death
was caused from a blow on the head.
Mrs. Norman stated that her husband
was in North Bay Saturday, and return-
ed home intoxicated, and upon entering
the house began abusing her by beating
her with a horse -whip and by dragging
her around the room by the hair, He
used language which she did not wish to
repeat in court.
"My boy Percy," said she, "came to
my rescue and struck my husband on the
head with a stick of wood. He then
turned on Percy, chasing him and strik-
ing him with a stick. To defend the boy
I struck him. I•le then turned on me,
and Percy man out and grasped the
axe and struck his father on the head
and he fell."
Witness said that Mr. Norman was
often quarrelsome, and not long ago
threatened to break her neck.
The eldest son, Edward, who was
working in the bush at the time of the
row, and who was sent for after Norman
had been knocked down with the axe,
testified that his father always used the
family roughly. He saw his father try
to cut his mother's throat with a razor
four years ago,
The daughter was then examined. She
said she was absent from home at the
time of the tragedy. She said her fath-
er threatened to kill her while defending
her brother during a family quarrel last
July. He bit her on the temple with
the gun. He tried. to choke her a year
ago. She said her father was afraid of
her because she was the only one who
saw him shoot her mother five years ago,
when be nearly killed her, and when she
was in a Toronto hospital for months.

One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the conquering of woman's dread enemy,
rumor.
So-called " wandering pains " may
come from its early states, or the presence
of danger may be mlaae manifest by ex-
cessive monthly periods accon.panh d
by unusual pain extending. from the
abdomen through the groin and thighs.
If you have rivuterious pains, if there
are indications of cilim un:atlon, ulceration
or displacement, don't writ fo,r titne to
confiirna your fears and go through the
horrors of a hospital operation; secure
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-
pound at once and leggin its use and
write Mrs. Pinkhain of Lynn, Mass.,
for advice.
Read these strong letters from grateful
women who have been cured :
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :— (First Letter.)
"In looking over your book I see that
your medicine cure Tamers. I have been
to a doctor and he tells int 1 have a tumor.
I will be more than grateful if you call
help me as I do so dread an operation."—
Fannie D. Fox, Bradford, I'a.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— (Second Letter.)
"1 take the liberty to congratulate yon on
the success I have had with your wonderful
medicine.
"Eighteen months ago my periods
stopped. • Shortly after I felt so badly I sub-
mittedto a thorough examination by a phy-
sician and was told that I heti a tumor and
would have to undergo an operation,
" I soon after read one of your advertise-
ments and decided to give Lydia, E, Pink -
ham's Vegetable Compound a trial After
taking five bottles as directed, the tumor is
entirely gone. I have again been examined
Lydia E. Plnkimda's Vegetable Compound
by the physician and he says I have no
signs of a tumor now. It has also brought
iny periods aromid once more; and I am
entirely well. I shah never be without a
bottle of Lydia 1-iukharn's Vegetable
Compound in the house."—Fannie D. Fox,
Bradford, Pa.
Another Case of Tumor Cured by
Lydia Si. Pinkbarn's Vegetabio Com-
pound.
Dear Mrs. Pinkham
"About three years ago I had intense
pain in iny stomach with cramps and
raging headaches. The doctor prescribed
for me but finding that I did not get any
better he examined me and, to my surprise,
declared I had a tumor.
"I felt sure that it meant my death
warrant, and was very disheartened. I
spent hundred of dollars in doctoring, but
the tumor kept growing, till the doctor said
that nothing but an operation would save
me. Fortunately 1 corresponded with my
aunt in the New England States, who advised
lee to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound before submitting to an oper-
ation, anal at once started tatting a regular
treatment, finding to my great relief that
my general health began to improve, and
after three months I noticed that the tumor
had reduced in size. I kept on taking the
Compound, and hi ten mouths it had entire-
ly disappeared without an opperation, and
using no medicine but Lydia E. ?inkhani's
Vegetable Compound and words fail to
express how 'ratet'ul t am for the good it
has done me. Miss Luella Adams, Colon-
nade Hotel, Seattle, Wash.
Such unquestionable testimony proves
the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's 'Vege-
table Compound, and should give conf-
donee and hope to every sick woman.
