Attention Soldiers, an Il
Erie nds Of Soldiers.

We call the attention Of all having relations or
friends in the army TO the fact that 'lIoofand's
German Bittcrs will cure nine -tenths Of the dis
eases incident to camp life. In the list published
almost daily IN the newspapers. on the arrival Of
tine sick, il will be noticed that very large por-
ton suffering from debility. Every case of
that kind can be readily cured by Hoohand's Bit
ters. Diseases resulting disorders Of the dges-
tive organs are speedily removed. We have no
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 to the following
remarkable ard well authenticated cure of one of
the nations heroes, his life, TO Use his own Ian
guage, "has been saved by the Btters.'
