AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We call the attention of all having relations
or friends in the army to the fact that "HOOF- |
LANDS German Bitters" win cure nine tenths |
of the diseases induced by exposures and
privations Incident to camp life. In the lists,
published almost daily in the newspapers, on
the arrival of the sick, it viii be noticed that
very large proportion are suffering from de- |
bility. Every case of that kind can be read
lily cured by Hoofand's German Bitters-I
Diseases resulting from disorders of the diges- |
tive organs are speedily removed. We have
no hesitation in stating that if these Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers, hun
dreds of lives might be saved that other
wise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the follow
ing remarkable and well authenticated cure
of one OF the nations heroes, whose life, to
use his own language, "has been saved by
the BitterS :"

my stomach. Life could not last under such
circumstances and, accordingly the physi- |
clans who had been working faithfully, tho
