We call the attention of all having relations OF
friends in the army to the fact that "Hoofland' 8
German Bitters' 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

ton al. SUI, H.. ..o.n debility Every case OF
that kind can be readily cured by HooHands Bit
