Waterloo, N. r., Observer.
In these days ofrowing giants and ath-
letic 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 d
looked up to far more than in the days of
our ancestors possibly because there are
fewer specimens ofwell-developed man
hood than then. An emmissary of this
paper net magnificent specimen of
physical power q few days since in the
person of DR.. A. w. McNames, of Wat
erloo. His muscles, which showed I'M
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 impossible. A realiza-
ton ofwhat Is meant by an iron man was
fully made manifest.
"Have you always been 80 stalwart as
this?" inquired the news gatherer.

minutes from that time was unconscious

I recovered consciousness vomited

injury and experienced general debiii-

produced by malaria. My back was very
weak. had no appetite, and at times

cracked. My head felt as thought were

told him. He then recommended re-

about which l was very skeptical. If

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

as these all vanish, can assure you and
any remedy that can cure is gladly well

The above experience should be of
great value to all who are suffering. 1t
shows the deceptive nature of this terri

by which it can be absolutely avoided.
