Eridnds Of Soldiers.

We call the attention Of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that HOOhand I
German Bitters" will cure nine tenths Of the dis
eases incident to camp life. In the list published
the sick, it will be noticed that very large por-
ton are suffering from debility. Every case VI
that kind can be readily cured by Hoodand's Bit
tiers. Diseases resulting disorders Of the dges-
tive organs ere speedily removed. We have no
hesitation in stating that, il these Bitters were
freely used among our soldiers, hundreds Of lives
might be saved that otherwise will be lost !.
We call particular attention to the following
remarkabl and well authenticated cure Of one Of
the nations heroes, his life, to use his own Ian
guage, has been saved by the Bittcrs."
