THE DANGER OF OVER XER
A StaIyart MAN Becomes weaker
Than n Child and Then Re
covers his Former Strength.
Waterloo, N. Y, Observer.
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 pow
er is looked up to far more than in
| the days of our ancestors possibly
because there are fewer specimens
of well-developed manhood than
| then An emissary of this paper
met q magnificent specimen of
physical power few days since in
| the person of DIR. a. w. McNameS,
of Waterloo. His muscles, which
showed unusual development, were
/ as hard as wood. At his request
the writer sought To pinch him in
the arms or legs, but found 1t Who'll
| ly impossible. a realization of
what is meant by an iron man was
fully made manifest.
"Have you always been SO stall
wart as this ?" inquired the news
gatherer.
"Not by any MEANS" was the re-
ply. "When a young man | was
always strong and active and felt
that could accomplish anything.
This feeling so took possession of
me ON one occasion that | attempt

similar to the effects produced by
malaria. My back was very weak.

One night chow well l remember
it, my wife had put the children
all in bed when the feeling came
over me that / should live but We

good bye, saying he never expected
to see me again, for was suffering
with Brights disease of the kidneys
in its last stages. Within the next
few days more than@kyenty friends
came to bid me good bye. Among
the number was DIR. John l.. Clark.
He asked me what / had used in

He then recommended Il remedy OF

certainly was lacking in my case"
And SO you did not try it ?"
"On the contrary, | did try it and
to my surprise it seemed to go to
Just the spot. Indeed, it was the
most palatable thing l had taken
into my mouth for months. L rel
ished it."
And did it cure you ?"

YES, indeed. What was it?'
Warmers Safe Cure.''

ualice against advertised medicines
as any one could have. When | |
was Studying medicine at Ann Ar
Dor, Michigan, I used to- vow with
the rest of the class that we would
fight all such remedies at all times.
When man comes down to the
last hour, however, and bids his
wife and friends good bye, such big
oted prcjudices as these all vanish,
can assure you, and any remedy
that can cure is gladly welcomed"
Ard how have you been since
then ,"
"As well-or better than before"
ado you still exert your strength"
Certainly. But | do not oUerex-
ert, rs formerly. My strength is in
creasing every day, and my health
is number one. [ know that my
life was saved by Warmers Safe
Cure, and / believe it is the best
medicine that was ever compound
ell by any chemist or physician. |
am willing the doctors should sheer
at me for such statement if they
choose, but | have proven its truth,
and am prepared to stand by it,"
The above experience should be
of great value to all who are suffer
ing. 1t shows the deceptive nature
Of this terrible malady: that all
are common to it and
that there is but one way by which
it can be absolutely avoided.
