Fatal Leap One of its Business

Houses and its Great Mag
nitude.
The present floods, which are either
devastating or threatening the country
in every direction, are Justly cause for
apprehension. No matter whether
they come suddenly or by slow degrees,
they are, in either case, great evil
and much to be dreaded, and yet
America will always be troubled by
these spring overfows. Probably one
of the most disastrous that was ever
known, occurred in Rochester, N. Y,
about twenty years ago. The Genesee
river, just above the falls, where Sam
Patch made his final and fatal leap,
became completely blockaded by ice,
forming an impossible dam, and the
water coming down the Genesee river
overfowed the principal portion of the
city of Rochester. This catastrophe
would have been repeated the present
year had not the energy aud foresight
of the city authorities prevented 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 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 over
looks the Genesee river. From here he
was not only enabled to see the pro-
cess uninterruptedly, but also the mag
nifcent building which has just been
completed. This is unquestionably
the finest building devoted to. business
and manufacturing purposes in Ameri-
ca, being entirely fireproof, eight sto-
ries high, and containing over four and
a quarter acres of flooring. Mr.. War
ner treated your correspondent very
courteously, and in the course OF the
conversation said:
s'We are dong a tremendous bust
ness and are far behind in our orders.
This is tue season of the year when peo-
pie, no matter how strong their consti-
tuition may be, feel, more or less, the
pain and indisposition, the headaches,
colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, dull
pains, sore threats, coughs-all the
1,001 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 Rheu-
matte Cure, and it is crowding us very
sharply for new remedy"
singular, but 1 had forgotten that
you do not advertise to cure all diseases
from one bottle, as is done generally by
many other medicine men, but 1 sup
posed Warmers Safe Cure was for the
cure of rheumatism.
'sAnd so it has been until our reme-
dy which was especiallyfo for rheumatism
and neuralgia, was introduced. We
have been three years perfecting this
new remedy. Study first taught us
there were certain powerful elements
in Warmers Safe cure, better known as
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
that made wonderful cures in chronic
and acute rheumatism, but during our
investigation, we learned of a remarka-
BILE cure at celebrated springs, and
put experts to investigate 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 princi-
pies of this remedy with our Safe cure,
we have produced our Safe Rheumatic
Cure, and the cures it is effecting are
simply wonderful, and do not doubt
it will become as popular as our Safe
Cure"
"You seem to talk freely in regard
to your remedies and appear to have no
secrets, Mr.. Warner.'
ssNone whatever. The physician
with his hundred calls and one hun
dred diseases, is necessarily compelled
to guess at great deal. We are ena-
bled to follow up and perfect, while
physicians can only experiment with
their hundred patients and hundred
diseases. With the ordinary ply
stefan, the code. binds him down,
so that if he makes a discovery,
he is bound to give it to the
other physicians, which, of course, dis.
courages investigation to a great ex-
tent. This is why the great discover
les in medical science of late years have
been made by chemists and scientists
and not by physicians, and it in meas
ure accounts for the great value OF our
remedies, also for the remarkable sue
cess of all those doctors who make a
specially of one or two Diseases
Sand you find that you are curing
as great number of people as ever
beforeP"
eyes, a far greater number. We
never sold so much of our medicine as
now and never knew of so many re-
markable cures.''
The writer departed after the above
interview, but was greatly impressed,
not only by the sincerity of Mr.. War
ner, but by the vastness of all he saw.
