In these days of rowing giants and athlete
heroes fine physical development is more OBJ
served than ever before since the time OF the
Athenian games A man who shows the ele-
meIts OF physical power is looked up to far
more than in the days of our ancestors pos
sibly because there are fewer specimens of
well.developed manhood than then. An
emissary of this paper met a magnificent
specimen OF physical power few Gays since
in the person of Dr.. A. W. McNames, OF
Waterloo. His muscles, which showed un-
usual development, were as hard as wood.
At bis request the writer sought to pinch him
in the arms or legs, but found it wholly i'm

My back was very weak. had no appetite,

What did the doctors say about you?"

than six different physicians. They ell

rec mmended a remedy of which had heard

If faith were an element OF power it certainly

When a man comes down to the last hour,
however, and bids his wife and friends good

"And how have you been since then?'
"As well-or better, than before"

Certainly. But / do not over-sxert, as

that my life was saved by Warmers Safe Cure,

The above experience should be OF great
value to all who are suffering. 1t shows the
deceptive nature of this terrible malady:
that all symptoms are common to it, and
that there is but one way by which it can be
absolutely avoided.
