Thomas, of 29, Sunny-terrace, Morriston, near Swansea, said:— My haok has given me a lot of trouble, through the kidneys not being well. Dull, aching pains there were very trying. There has also been a weakness in the urinary system. After taking Doan's bock ache kidney pills, however. I felt better in every way. They relieved me of the pain and cleansed the water, and I feel brighter and better altogether. There is no doubt about Doan's pills being good, and I recommend. them." On February 14th, 191,7-ttvo years later—Mrs. Thomas rnaid: I keep to Doan's pills if I ever get any sign of the old trouble, and they coon put me right again."

I < "A short time back, when the itching was very acute, 1 scratched my left leg, and eventually I had what are called 1 Yaricose Ulcers. These got worse and worse every day, until jl I really thought I should have to lose my leg. This caused g! me great anxiety, for, as you know, journalists have to be up » and about a great deal. It was then, after having tried nearly j everything else, that I decided to give Zam-Buk a trial. How thankful I am that I did so I got relief from the H j very first application of Zam-Buk. The itching stopped as m if by magic, the sores dried up, and before I had finished the m third box new skin had formed. To-day my legs are sound H and perfect. I am free from any pain, itching, &c., and there |j is not a mark or sign of a sore on my legs. And this was gj accomplished by Zam-Buk, which I consider is a marvellous healer. I am sending these particulars to you after a thorough test and convincing proof that Zam-Buk does do all that gM| you claim for it. I advise other sufferers to try Zam-Buk e before anything else."
