Capt. Broirks, No. 4 Company, 7th
Battalion.. writing fronr the front,
says: "Tell my friends. If they
want to help us, we should be
awfully glad of some Zam-Buit. We
find it just stalendid, and can use
all that is sent us."
Nothing takes the place of
Zam-Buk amongst the soldiers. They
use it for rhesimatism, blistered
feet, sore hands, cuts. burns
and scratches. Being an isemie,
Zam-Buk prevents festering and
blood-pelsoning. For ecserna, or
any skin trouble, it is equally good,
and tor piles there is nothing to
compare with Zam-Buk. •
