"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER.

The Falls of the Genesee and Sam Patch's
Fatal Leap-Ons Of Its Business Houses
and Its Great Magnitude.
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 al
ways be troubled by these spring over
flows. Probably one of the most disas-
trous that was ever known. occurred ir
Rochester, n. Y, about twenty years ago.
The Genesee river, just above the falls,
where Sam Patch made his final and IA
tai 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 catastro-
phe would have been repeated the pres.
ent year had not the energy ana fore
sight of the city authorities prevented
it. The writer happened to be in Rocn-
ester at that time and was greatly inter-
ested in the manner IN which this great
catastrophe was averted. Every few
moments, roar like the peals of thun-
der or the booming of cannon would be
heard and in order to see this blasting pro-
cess, the writer went to the top OF the
new Warner building, which overlooks
the Genesee river. From here he was
not only enabled TO see the process un-
interuptcdly, but also the magn:fice
building which has just been completed.
This is unquestionably the finest build
ing devoted to business and manufacture
ing purposes in America, being entirely
fireproof,eight stories high, and containing
over four and aquarter acres of flooring.
Mr.. Warner treated your correspondent
very courteously, and in the course of
the conversation said:
"We are doing tremendous business
and are Ear 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
indisposition, the headaches, COLDS, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, dull pains, sore
TIN oats, coughs-all the l,00l 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 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 | supposed
Warmers Safe Cure was for the cure of
rheumatism"
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. Study first taught us there
were certain powerful elements in War
ner's Safe Cure, better known as Warmers
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, that made
wonderful cures in chronic and acute
rheumatism, but during our investiga-
ton, we learned of remarkable cure at
a celebrated springs, and put experts TO
investigate ana 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 ac-
tive principles of this remedy with our
Safe cure, we have produced our Safe
Rheumatic Cure, and the cures it is eff
fecting are simply wonderful, and l do
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 Sc
crets, Mr.. Warner"
"NOne whatever. The physician with
his hundred calls and one hundred dis
eases, is necessarily compelled to guess
at great deal. We are enabled to fol-
low up and perfect, while physicians can
only experiment with their hundred pa
tients and hundred diseases. With the
ordinary physician the code binds him
down, so that if he makes discovery,
he is bound TO give it so the ether ply
sicians, which, of course, discourages in
vestigaiion, to a great extent. This is
why the great discoveries IN medical
science of late years have been made by
chemists and scientists and not by ply
sicians, and it in a measure accounts for
the great value OF our remedies, also for
the remarkable success of all those doc
tors who make specially of one or two
diseases"
"And you find that you are curing as
great number of people as ever be-
forep"
Yes, far greater number. We never
sold so much of our medicine as now and
never knew of so many remarkable
cures"
The writer departed after the above
interview, but was greatly impressed,
not only ny the sincerity of Mr.. Warner
but by the vastness of all he saw. Mr..
Warmers medicines are used throughout
the entire length and breadth of the
land, and we doubt not the result they
are efiecting are really as wonderful as
they are related to be.
