Attention Soldiers, an d
Fridn(S of Soldiers.

We call the attention Of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that "Hoofand's
German Bitters' will cure ninc-tenths of the dis
eases incident to camp life. In the list published
almost daily III the newspapers on the arrival Of
the sick. il will be noticed that very large por
ton are suffering from debility. Every of
that kind can be readily cured by Hollands Bit
tiers. Diseases resulting disorders of the diges-
tive organs are speedily removed. We have no
hesitation in stating that. il 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 and well authenticated cure Of one Of
the nations heroes his life, to use his own Ian
guage, has been saved by the Bitters."
