ATTENTION, SOLDIERS
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.


We call the attention of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that -HooFLAND's
German Bitters' will cure nine teIths of the dis
eases induced by exposures and priyations Incl
dent to camp life. In the lists. published almost
daily in the newspapers. the arrival of the
sick il 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 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
markable and well authenticated cure of one the
nations heroes, whose life. to use his own Ian
guage. has been saved by the Bitters:'
PHILADELPHIA, August 23rd, 1862.
Messys. Jones y EUamS.-Well, gentlemen, your
Hoofands German Bitters has saved my life.
There is mistake in this. 1t is vouched for
by nun bers of my comra AIDES, some ofwhose names
appended, and who were fully cognizant of
all the circumstances of my L am, and
have been tor the last four years member of
Sherman's celebrated battery, and under the i'm
mediate command of Capt. K b. Ayres. Through
the expo sure attendant upon my duties, l was
attacked in November last with infamm alton of
the lungs, and was for seventy-two days in the
hospital. This followed by great debility.
heightened by attack of ysentery | was then
removed from the White House. and sent 10 this
city board the Steamer Estate of Maine, from
which landed on the 2Sth of June. Since that
time have been about as low any could
be and still retain spark of vitality. For
week or more was scarcely able to swallow any
thing, and if dfd force morsel down, it was
imm ediateIy thrown up again.
l could not even keep a glass of water my
stomach. Life could not last under these circum-
stances; and, accordingly, the physicians who
had been working faithfully, though unsUccess-
fully, to rescue me from the grasp of the dread
Archer frankly told me they could do more
for me. and advised me to see clergyman. and
TO make such disposition of my limited funds as
best suited me. An acquaintance who visited me
at the hospital, Mr.. Frederick Steinborn. of Sixth
below Arch Street, advised me, forlorn hope,
to try your Bitters and kindly procured bottle.
From the time / commenced taking them the
gloomy shadow of death receded, and am now.
thank God for it, getting better. Though have
taken but two bottles have gained ten pounds,
and feel sanguine of being permitted to rejoiu
my wife and daughter from whom l have heard
nothing for eigh teen months for. gentlemen, l
am loyal Virginian, from the vicinity of Front
Royal. To your invaluable Bitters owe the eer-
tainty of life which has taken place of vague fears
to your Bitters will owe the glorious priyi-
lege of again clasping to my bosom those who are
dearest to me in life.
Very truly yours, Isaac MALONE.
We fully concur in the truth of the above state
mentas we had despaired of seeing comrade,
Mr.. Malone. restored to health.
