(WaterIoo, N. T., Obserrer.)
In these days of rowing giants and athletic
heroes fine physical development is more
observed than ever before since the time of
the Athenian games. A man who shows the
elements of physical power is looked up to
far more than in the days of our ancestors
possibly because there are few specimens of
well-developed manhood than then. An
emissary of this paper met a magnificent
specimen of physical power few days since
IN the person of DR.. A w. McNames, of
Waterloo. His muscles, which showed un-
usual development, were as hard as wood.
At his request the writer sought to pinch him

" As well-or better, than before"

"Certainly. But l do not over exert, as

The above experience should be of great
llue to all who are suffering. 1t shows the
eceptive nature of this terrible malady;
lat all symptoms are common to it and that
