ATTENTION, SOLDIERS
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.

We call the attention of ali having relations or
friends in the army 10 the fact that "HooFLAND's
German Bitters' will cure nine tenths of the dis
eases induced by exposures and priyations Incl
dent to camp life. In the lists published almost
daily in the newspapers. on the arrival of the
sick, it will be noticed that very large proper
ton are suffering from debility. Every case of
that kind can be readily cured by Hoofand S Ger
man Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders
of the digestive organs are speedily removed. We
have hesitation in stating that. if these Ritters
were freely used among our soldiers, hundreds of
lives might be saved that otherwise will be lost
We call particular attention to the following re-
markable and well authenticated cure Of one the
nations heroes whose life, to use his own Ian
guage, has been saved by the Btters:'
