The Danger OfOver ExertiOn'
A sTALwART MAN BECOMES WEAKER
THAN A CHILD AND THEN RE-
COVERS HIS FORMER
STRENGTH.
(waterloo, N. Y. observer)


ment is more observed than ever before |
since The time of the Athenlan games. |
A man who shows the elements OF
physical power is looked up 10 far
more than in the days of our ancestors
possibly because there are fewer specl-
mems Of developed manhood than |
then. An emissary of this paper met
a magnificent specimen of physical
power a.few days since in the person OF
DR.. A. W. McNames. of Waterloo.
His muscles, which showsd unusual
development, were as hard as wood.
At his request the writer sought 10
pinch him in Tie arms or legs, but
found it wholly impossible. A realiza-
lion of what is meant by an iron man
was fully made manifest.
Have you always been so stalwart as
this p inquired the news gatherer.
Not by any MEANS was the reply.
'When a young man l was always
strong and actiye and felt that l could
accomplish anything. This feeling so
took possession of me on one OCCASION
that attempted 10 lift box which
four men found it impossible TO move,
succeeded in placing ii on The wagon
but in Two minutes from that time l
was uncon- cious and remained so for
hours aud hen recovered conscious
ness | vomited large quantity oil
blood. From that day | began tol
grow weak and slckly. | believed that
| had suffered some internal injury aud
experienced a general debility, which
seemed similar to The effects produced
by malaria. Ny back was very weak.
| had no appetite, aud at times loathed
food. Ny lips were parched and crack
ed. MY head felt as though it were
entirely open at the top aud it panied
me on the side intensely. In six
weeks tune [ had fallen away from
2OS pounds 10 less than l70. l vas in
most wre.ched condition. l was
completely discouraged
'Whas did the doctors say about
Gou?
Almost everything. ! consulted no
less than six different physicians.
They all treated me and none did me
any good. AT that time I was suffer-
ing intensely. could not sit upright
but was obliged to rest in cramped,
uneasy position. 1 was compelled to
urinate every five minutes and l passed
oyer three quarts every day. 1 was
not living, was existing.
One night (how we'll l remember lt!)
my wife had put the children all in
bed when the feeling came over me
that should live but a very short
time. My wife aud talked matters
all oyer and l gave the minutest direc-
tions as to what she should do after l
was gone. was not in flighty con-
dtion by any means for the doctor, on
leaving town the day following, bade
me good bye, saying he never expect to
see me again, for [ was suffering with
Bright's disease Of the kidneys IN its
last stages. Within the next few days
more than twenty friends came to bid
me good bye. Among the number
was DR.. John L. Clark. He asked me
what | had used in the way Of medl-
clnes. l told him. He then recon-
mended a remedy of which l had heard
much. but about which was very
skepucal. If faith were an element OF
power 1t certainly was lacking iu my
case.'
And so you did not try it?'
On the contrary, did try it and to
my surprise 1t seemed to 90 10 just the
spot. Indeed, il was the most pala-
table thing l had taken into my mouth
for months. l rellshed it:'
And did it cure you?
DO l look as if it did?'
Yes, indeed. What was ir?'
Warmers Safe Cure
A proprietary medicine !
'Ofcourse. What of that? | suppose
once had as great prejudice against
advertised medicines as any one could
have. When was studying medicine
at Ann Arbor, Michlgon, 1 used 10 vow
with the rest of the class that we would
fight all such remedies at all times
When a man comes down 10 the last
lhour. however, and bids his wife aud
friends good bye, such bigoted pre-
iudces as these all vanish, l can as
sure you and any remedy that can cure
is gladly welcomed
And how have you been since thenT
AS well-or better, than before
DO YOU still exert your strenglhT
Certainly. But do not orer.exert.
as formerly. My strength is increasing
ever day, and my health is number one.
} I know that my life was saved by
Warmers Safe Cure, aud | believe it is
, the best medicine that was ever COM
pounded by any chemist or physician.
[ am willing the doctors should sneer al
me for such statement if they choose
but have proven its truth, and pre-
pared to stand by it,
The above experience should be q
great value 10 all who are suiienng.-
II 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.
