The Falls of the GeHesee and sam Pniebs
and iis Great Magnitude.
The present floods, which are either deVas-
tating or threatening the country in every di
rection, are Justly cause for a2prt hension.
No matter whether they come suddenly or bT
slow degrees, they are, in either case, great
evil and much to be dreaded, aid yet Amer
ica Will always be troubled by these spring
overfiows Probably one OF the most dlsas-
trous that was ever known, occurre1 In
Rochester, II. Y, about twenty years ago.
The Genesee river, Just above the falls, where
Sam Patch ma ie his final and fatal leap, be-
came completely b.ockaded by ice, forming
an impaxab,e dam, and the water coming
down the Genesee river overiiOwe1 the prin-
cipal portion of the city OF Rochester
This catastrophe would have been re-
peated the present year hal not the en-
ergy and foresight OF the city authorities
preveuted it. ! he writer hap ened TO De In
Rochester at thas time, AMI was greatly ln-
terested in the manner in which this gTeas
catastrophe was aVerted. Every few mo
ments, a roar like the Ieals of thunder or the
booming of cannon would be heard, and IN
order 10 see this ice blasting process, the
writer went to the top OF the new NarnsT
building which overiookS the Genesee river.
From here he was not only enabled To see the
process uninterrdptelly, but also the MAJ
nIficeut building which has just been com
peted. This is unqueStonabiy the finest
building devoted TO bu ineSS and manui &C
turing purposes il america. beng entirely

over four ard a Quar,er acres or HoJring.
Mr. Warner treated your correspondent very
courteously, ard In the course OF the coLver-
saSion said:
ave are doing a tremendous business and
are far behind in our orders. This is the sea
son Of the year when people, no matter low
strong their constitution may be, feel, more
or less, the pain and indispoSitiOn, the hCa l.
aches, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism. dull
rains, sore threats, coughs-all The l,Ul Ills

we shoull be very buy. This is specially
true of our SAFE RheImatic Cure, and 1t Is
crowding us very sharply for new

do not q ivertise TO cure all diseases from one
bottle, as is done generally by many other
medicine men, but l supposed Warmers S Safe
Cure was fuE the cue of rheumatism"
'And so it has Teen until cur remedy

neuralgia, was introduced. We have beea

powerful elements in Warmers Safe cure,
better known as Warmers afe Kidney and

perts to inves, igate and found that the
springs did not contain any va liable prop
critics, but the course of trea 'ment that was
being given there was performing al the
benefit. By carefully combining the actiye
principles of this remedy with our Sa e cure,
we have produced our Safe Rhe Inatic Cure,
and the cures it is efec.ing are Simply Won
derful, and l do not doubt it will become as
popular as our Safe Cure"
t'You seem to talk freely in regar1 to your
remedies and appear to have no secrets, Mr..
Warner
"None whatever. The physician with his
hundred calls and one hundred diseases, is
necessarily compeNel to guess at great
deal We are enabled to follow up and per-
feet, while physicians can OILY experiment
with ther'huudred atients and hundred dis
eases With the ordinary physician, the code
binds him down, 50 that if he makes q dis
covery, he is bound to give it to the other
phys ans, which, of course, discourages in
vestic alton, to great extent. This is why
the great discoveries in medical iepce OF
late years ha re been maize by chemists and
scient ISIS and not by physicians, and it in a
measure accounts for tbs great value of our
remedies, also fOl the remarkable success OF
all those doctors Sho make speciality of one
or two diseases y
And you find that you are curing as great
number Of people ever before ~
Eyes, far greater number. We never
sold so much OF our medicine as now and
never knew of so many remarkable cures"
The writer departe after the above inter
view, but was greatly impressed, not only BY
the sincerity Of Mr.. Warner, but by the vast
ness of all he saw. Mr. Warmers med cine.

breadth OF the land, aid we doubt not the re
suit they are efecting are really as wonder
full as they are reia.el to be.
