Attention Soldiers, a N d
Eridnds of Soldiers.

We call the attention of all having relations o
friends in the army to the fact that "Hoofand'
German Bitters' will cure nine tenths Of the dis
eases incident to camp life. In the list published
| almost daily III the newspapers on the arrival O
the sick, it will be noticed that a very large Dor
ton are suffering from debility Every case
| that kind can be readily cured by Hoofands Bit
tiers. Diseases resulting disorders Of the diges
tive organs are speedily removed. We have n,
hesitation in stating that if these Ditters wer
freely used among our soldiers. hundreds Of live
might be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following
| remarkable and well authenticated cure Of one 0
the nations heroes, his life, to use his own Ian
guage, ''has been saved by the Bitters."

been working faithfully, though unnecessarily,
to rescue me from the grasp Of the dread Archer,
