The Falls or the Genesee and Sam
Patch's Fatal Leap One or its
Business Houses and it's
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, great evil and much to be
dreaded, and yet America will always be
troubled by these spring OverfiOws. Prob
ably 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 overlooked 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 prevented it,
The writer happened to be in Rochester at
that time and was greatly interested in
the manner in which this great catastro-
phe was averted. Every few moments, a
roar like the peals of thunder or the boom

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 uninterruptedly, but also
the magnificent building which has lust
been completed. This is unquestionably
the finest building devoted to business
and manufacturing purposes i'm America,
being entirely fireproof, eight stories high,
| and containing over four and quarter
acres of flooring. Mr.. Warner treated
your correspondent very cOurteously, and
i'll the course of the conversation said:
1--WE are doing tremendous business
and are far behind in our orders, This il
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 thousand and one 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 reme-
dy."
"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 War
ner's Safe Cure was for the cure of rheu-
matism."
And 80 1t has been until our remedy
which was especially for rheumatism and
neuralgia, was introduced. We have
been three years perfecting this new rem
edy. Study first taught us there were
certain powerful elements in Warmers

"You seem to talk freely in regard to
your remedies and appear to have no &C.

None whatever. The physician with his
hundred calls and one hundred diseases,

physician, the code binds him down, so

of course, discOurages investigation, to a
great extent. This is why the great dis.

"And you find that you are curing as

"Yes, far greater number. We never
sold so much of our medicine as now and
never knew of so many remarkable cures.
