"REMINISCENCES or ROCHESTER,

The Falls of the Genesee and Sam
Patch's Fatal Leap-One of its Busi-
ness Houses and its Great Magnitude.
The present floods, which are either de-
vastating or threatening the country in
every direction, are justly cause for appre-
hension. No matter whether they come
suddenly or by slow degrees they are, in
either case, a great evil and much to be
dreaded, and yet America will always be
troubled by these spring overiows. Prob
ably one of the most disastrous that was
ever known occurred in Rochester. y. I E,
about twenty years ago. The Genesee
river, just above the falls, where sam
Patch made his final and fatal leap, be-
came completely bl0ckaded by ice, FORM
ing an impossible dam, and the water
coming down the Genesee river over
flowed the principal portion OF the city
Of Rochester. This catastrophe would
have been repeated the present year
had not the energy and fore
sight Of the city authorities pre-
vented it. The writer happened to be in
Rochester at that time and was greatly
interested in the manner in which this
great catastrophe was averted. Every
few moments. d roar like the peals OF
thunder or the booming Of cannon would
be heard, and in order to see this ice blast
ing process the writer went 10 the top CT
the new Warner building. which over
looks the Genesee river. From here he
was not only enabled to see the process
uninterruptedly. but also the magnificent
building which has just been completed.
This is unquestiOna0ly the finest building
devoted to business and manufacturing
purposes in America, being entirely fire.

over four and a quarter acres of flooring.
Mr.. Warner treated your correspondent
very cOurteOusly. and in the course Of the
conversation said:
"We are doing a tremendous business
and are far behind in our orders. This is
the season Of the year when people, no
matter how strong their constitution may
be, feel, more or less, the pain and indis-
position, the headaches, colds, neuralgia,
rheumatism, dull pains, sore threats,
coughs-all the 1901 ills that flesh is heir
to come this time OF the year, if at all. 1t
Is natural, therefore, that we should be
very busy. This is specially true of our
Safe Rheumatic Cure, and it is crOwding
us very sharply for a new remedy"

do not advertise to cure all diseases from
one bottle. as is done generally by many
other medicine men, but l supposed War

matism."
''And so it has been until our remedy.
which was especially for rheumatism and
neuralgia, was introduced. We have been
three years perfecting this new remedy.

powerful elements in " Warmers safe Cure.

and Liver Cure, that made wonderful
cures in chronic and acute rheumatism,
but during our investigation we learned
OF remarkable cure at a celebrated

and found that the springs did not contain
any valuable properties, but the course OF
treatment that was being given there was
performing all the benefit. BY carefully
combining the active principles Of this
remedy with our Safe Cure, we have pro-
duced our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and the
cures it is eGecdng are simply wonderful.

"You seem to talk freely in regard to
your remedies and appear to have no Sc
crets, Mr. Warner"
"None whatever. The physician, with
his hundred calls and one hundred dis
eases, is necessarily compelled to guess at
q great deal. We are enabled to follow
up and perfect, while physicians can only

physician, the code binds him down, so
that II he makes a discovery, he is bound
to give it to the other physicians, which,
Of course, disc0urages investigation to a
great extent. This is why the great dis
cOveries in medical science of late years
have been made by chemists and scien-
fists and not by physicians, and it in a
measure accounts for the great value Of
our remedies, also for the remarkable sue

"And you find that you are curing as
great number of people as ever before -
Yes, far greater number. We never
sold so much of our medicine as now, and
never knew of so many remarkable cures

teryiew, but was greatly impressed, not
only by the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, but
by the vastness Of all he saw. Mr.. War
