Tho RAILS OF tho Genesoo and Sam
Patch's Fatal Leap-Ouo % Etu
Buslnsss Houses aud Ita
Great Magnitude.

The present Goods, which are either dew
nstating or threatening the county in sv.
cry direction, are Justly cause for appro-
hensiOn. No matter whether they como
suddenly or by slow degrees, they are, I'm
either case, a great evil and much to be
dreaded, and yet America will always bo
troubled by these spring OverhoWs. Prob
ably one Of the most disastrous that WAS
ever known, occurred in Rochester, N. z,
about twenty years ago. The GeneseO
River, just above the falls. where Sam
Patch made his final and fatal leap, be-
came completely blockaded by ice, form
ing an impossible dam, and the water com
ing down the GgnCs8e River OverhuWCd the
principal portion Of the city Of Rochester.
This catastrophe wguld have been repeated
tho present year had not the energy and
foresight of the city authorities prevented
It. The writer happened to be in Rochester
at that time and was greatly Interested lin
the manner in which this great catastrophe
was averted. Every few moments, roar
like the peals of thunder or the booming Of
cannon would be heard, and in order to see
this ice blasting process, the writer went
TO the top Of the new Warner building,
which overlooiSs the Gonesoo River. From
here he was not only enabled to see tue
process uuinterruptedly, but also tho mag
ni6Ceut building which has just been COM
pleted. This is unquestiOuably the finest
building devoted to business and manu-
featuring purposes In America, being enc
tirely treproOt, eight stories high, and con-
tanning over four and quarter acres OF
flooring, Mr. Warner treated your corre-
BpOndent very COurteyusly, 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, moro or less, the pain and indis-
position, tho headaches, colds, neural gia,
rheumatism, dull pains, sore throats,
C0ughs-au the l,yOl 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 Tor a new remedy"
singular, but had forgotten that you
do not advertise to cure all diseases from
one bottle, as is done generally by many
other medicine men, but L supposed Warm

"And so it has been until our remedy

experts to investigate and found that the

ply wonderful, and / do not doubt it will
/ become as popular as our Safe Cure"
" You seem to talk freely in regard tc
your remedies and appear to haze no Sc
crets, Mr.. Warner"
"Nono whatever. The physician Will
| his hundred calls and one hundred diseases
is necessarily compelled to guess at a great

ment with their hundred patients and hun
dred diseases. With the ordinary physi
clan, the code binds dim down, SO that il
he makes a discovery, he is bound to give
it to the other physicians, which, Of course
| disCOurages investigation, to a great eE
tent. This is why tho great discoveries il
| medical sci nee of late years have beer
made by chemists and scientists aud mo-
by physicians, and it ia a measure accounts
for the great value Of our remedies, alst
for the remarkable success Of all those doc
tors who make a speciality Of one or two
diseases"
" And you find that you are curing a
great a number Of people as ever befOrsP
Yes, a far greater number We neve
sold so much Of our medicine as now aut
never knew of so many remarkable cures
The writer departed after the above in
terview, but was greatly impressed, no
only by the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, bu
by the vastness of all he saw. Mr. Warn
