AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We call the attention ofall having relations
or friends in the army to the fact that "HO0F-
LANDS German Btters" will cure nine tenths
of the diseases induced by exposures and
privatons incident to camp life. In the lists,
published almost daily in the newspapers on
the arrival Of the sick, it viii be noticed that
a very large proportion are suffering from de-
blity. Every case of that kind can be read
lily cured by HooAand's German Bitters-
Diseases resulting from disorders Of the diges-
tive organs are speedily removed. We have
no hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers, hun
dreds Of lives might be saved that other
wise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the follow.
ing remarkable and well authenticated cure
of one OF tie nations heroes. whose life, TO
use his own language, "has been saved by
