Attention Soldiers. ani
Friends Of Soldiers.

We call the attention Of all having relations OF
friends IN the army to the fact that .Hoofant'.
German Bitters will cure nine -tcnhs Of the dis
eases incident to camp life. In the list published
almost daily N the newspapers, on the arrival o.
the sick. it will be noticed that very large nor
ton are suffering from debility. Every case o.
that kind can be readily cured by HoOHand's Bit
tiers. Diseases resulting disorders Of the diges
tive organs are speedily removed. We have nc
hesitation in stating that. If these Bitters were
freely used among our soldiers, hundreds Of lives
might be saved that otherwise will be lost
We call particular attention 10 the following
remarkable and well authenticated cure Of one 81
the nations heroes, his life to use his own Ian
guage, has been saved by the Hitters.'
