Attention Soldiers, q N d
Fridnds of Soldiers.

We call the attention Of all having relations or
friends in the army to the fact that '.HooAand's
German lIitters" 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
the sick, il will be noticed that very large por-
ton are suffering from debility. Every case II
that kind can be readily cured BY Hoohand's Bit
tiers. Diseases resulting disorders Of the digcs-
tive organs are speedily removed We have no
hesitation in stating that, ii 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 lam
guage, ''has been saved by the Bttcrs.'
