FEE DAGGER OF OVER-EXERTIOIN.

A Stalwart Man Become* Weaker Than a Child and Then Baeorers Bit Benner (Waterloo (N. T.) Observer.] la 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 op 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 a magnificent specimen of physical power a few days since in the person of Dr. A. W. MoNamea 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 it wholly impossible. A realisation of what is meant by an iron man was fully made manifest “Have you always been so stalwart as this?” Inquired the news gatherer. “Not by any means, u 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 pf me en one oocasion that I attempted to lift a box which four men found it impossible to move. 1 sucoeeded in placing it on the wagon, but in two minutes from that time I was unconscious and remained so for hours, and when 1 recovered consciousness I vomited a large quantity of blood. Fiom that day I began to grow weak and sickly. 1 belifeved that 1 had suffered from internal injury and experienced a general debility, which seemed si miliar to the effects produced by malaria My back was very weak. I had no appetite, and at times loathed food. My lips were parched and cracked. My head felt as though it were entirely open at the top and it pained me on the side intensely. In six weeks’ time I had fallen away from 208 pounds to less than 170. I was in a most wretched condition. I was completely discouraged. ” *'Wuat aid the doctors say about you?" “Almost everything. I consulted no less than six different physicians. They all treated me and none did me any good. At that time I was suffering intensely. 1 could not sit upright but was obliged to rest in a cramped, uneasy position. 1 was compelled to urinate every five minutes, and 1 passed over three quarts every day. I was not living, 1 was existing. “One night (how well I remember it!) my wife had put the children all in bed when the feeling came over me that I should live but a very short time. My wife and I talked matters ail pver and I gave the minutest directions as to what she should do after I was gone. I was not in a flighty condition by any means, for the doctor, on leaving town the day following, bade me good-by saying'he never expected to see me again, for I was suffering with Bright’s disease of the kldneyß in its iast stages. Within the next few days more than twenty friends came to bid me good-by. Among the number was Dr. John L. Clark. He asked me what I had used m the way of medicines. 1 told him. He then recommended a remedy of which I bad heard much, but about which I was very skeptical If faith were an element of power it certainly was lacking in my case.” “And so you did not iry it?” “On the contrary, I did try it and to my surprise it seemed to go to just the Bpot. Indeed, it was the most palatahie th ng I had taken into my mouth for months. 1 relished it.” “And did it cure you?” “Do I look as if it did?” *Yes, indeed. What was it?" “Warner’s Safe Cura” “A proprietary medicine?” “Of couxsa What of that? I suppose I once had as great a prejudice against advertised medicines' as any one could hava When I was studying medicine at Ann Arbor, Mich., I used to vow with tire rest of the class that we would fight all such remedies at all times. When a man comes down to the last hour, however, and bids his wife and friends good-by, such bigoted prejudices as these all vanish, 1 can assure you <aay remedy that can cure is gladly welcome<L” “And how have you been since then?” “As well —or better than before” “Do you still exert your strength?” “Certainly. But I do not over-exe rt, as formerly. Mv strength is increasing every day, and my health is number ona I know that my life was saved by Warner's Safe Cure, and I believe it is the best medicine that was ever compounded by any chemist or physician. I am willing the doctors should sneer at me for such a statement if they choose, but I have proven its truth, ana am prepared to stand by it ” The above experience should be of great value to all who are suffering. It showsjbhe 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. A Chicago Sunday-school teacher asked her class where Moses was when the bull rushed. “In hi 3 basket, of course!” was the prompt reply.— Carl Pretzel't Weekly. Blood-Poisoning—An Alarming Discovery. Half the people are suffering and may die from this fatal complaint. Diseases of the kidneys and liver are the principal causes. As a cure we can only recommend German Hop Bitters. — Journal of Health. Sold by all druggists. It is no longer polite to speak of a man as having been hanged.
