(Waterloo, N. Y, Obseruer.)
In these day Us of rowing g ants and athletic
heroes fine physical deve opment is more
cbser ed tn n ever before since the time OF
the Athenian games. A man who shows the
elemen 8 of phys.cu 20 weT is looked up to
far more than in the days of our ancestors
possibly because there arc few specimens of
we'll developed manhood than then. An
emissary of this paper met a magniicen;
speciLen of physical POWER a few d ays 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
in the arms or legs, but found it wholly i'm
possible. A realization of what is meant by
an iroa man was fully made manifest.
Have you always been So stalwart as
this Z" inquired the news aatherer.
Not by any means" was the reply.
"When a young man I was always strong
and active and felt that I could accomplish
anything. This feeling so took possession
of me on one occasion that / attempted to

wretched condition. l was completely dis

"What did the doctors say about you 2"
"Almost everything Z consulted no less
than SIX different physicians. They all
