Attention Soldiers, q n d
Friends of Soldiers.

We call the attention Of all having relations OF
friends in the army to the fact that .'Hoofand's
German Bitters'' will cure nine tenths Of the dis.
eases incident TO CAMP life. Jn the list published
. most daily IN the newspapers, on the Arrival Of
the sick, it will be noticed that a very large nor.
ton are suffering from debility. Every case OF
that kind can be readily cured by Hoohand's Bit.
tiers. Diseases resulting disorders Of the diues.
tive organs are speedily removed. We have nc
hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters were
freely used among orr soldiers, hundreds Of lives
might be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following
remarkable aud well authenticated cure Of one u
the nations heroes, his life, to use his own Ian
guagc, has been saved by the Bitters."
