We call the attention of all having relations or

German Bitters' will cure nine -tenths of tho dis
eases incident to camp life. In the list published
almost daily IN the newspapers, on the arrival OF
the SICK it will be noticed that very large por-
ton ar -liii. ring. irn,l debility Every case OF
that k,u c.,.i BE- adiiy cured by HooAand's Bit
tiers. Diseases iesu,tng disorders of the dges-
tive organs speedily removed. We have no
hesitation in stating shat il these l}itters 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.''
