INVESTIGATION OF THE WAR
DEPARTMENT.

1t is the common report that persons
who are now charged with negligence
or incompetence will be caught in the net
OF inquiry, while others who are openly
accused will be found blameless. If IN
inquiry should be made into the cause
of so much sickness outside the army,
it would be found that many people who
think themselves in good condition are
really caught in the net of disease. Many
of them are losing strength so slowly
that they do not know it. To build up
strength and enrich the blood use Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. 1t is good for
any arrangement of stomach, liver and
bowels, and nothing equals it for dys-
pepsia and indigestion.
