Morris Quatzam, an eleven-yedr: old Windsor boy, fell off his bicycle and soratohed . his wrist. . He thought nothing of the injury, but blood poison set in and he is dead. Such incidents as these--by no means infrequent--ought to make people realize the danger that may lie even in the smallest wound. Take a simple illustration, When a knife, a rusty needle, a splinter of dirty wood, a barbed wire fence, or a thorn, scratches the hand, the latter is inoculated with germs. The way to avoid serious results is to cleanse the wound and apply Zam-Buk, Zam-Buk is a powerful yet painless germ-killer, and when applied to the broken skin is ab- sorbed into the tissue, instantly destroying the germs that spread disease and stopping the pain and smarting. That is why Zam-Buk is so popular with children. Zam-Buk must not be confused with ordinary ointments. Zam-Buk is & unique preparation; possess- ing antiseptic, soothing and heal- ing qualities that are not to be found together in any other pre- 'paration. It is not only a unique healing balm, but it is also a skin food. For all skin diseases and injuries--cuts, bruises, burns, ec- zema, chafing, "ulcers, ringworm, etc., it is without equal. It is also used widely for piles, for which it may be regarded as a specific. All druggists and stores sell at 50 cents a box, or post free from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price.
