"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER.

The Falls Of the Genesee and Sam Patch's
Fatal Leap-One of It's Business Houses
and It's Great Magnitude.
The present floods, which are either dcvas-
tating 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 Amer
lea will always be troubled by these spring
overfiows. Probably one of the most dlsas-
trous that was ever known occurred in Roch-
ester, N. Y, about twenty years ago. The
Genesee River, just above the falls, where
Sam Patch made his final and fatal leap, be-
came completely blockaded by ice, forming
an impossible dam, and the water coming
cipal portion OF the city OF Rochester.
This catastrophe would have been
repeated the present year had not the energy
and foresight OF the city authorities prevent
ed 1t. The writer happened to be in Roches-
ter ut 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
overlooks the Genesee River. From here he
was not only enabled to see tho process unnter-
ruptedly, but also the magnificent building
which has just been completed. This is I'M
questionably the finest building devoted to
business and manufacturing purposes in
America, being entirely tireproof, eight
stories high, and containing over four aud a
quar- ter acres of flooring. Mr.. Warner treat
ed your correspondent very courteously, and
In the course of the conversation said:
1--WE are doing a tremendous business, and
arc far 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, neuralgia, rheumatism,
dull pains, sore threats, coughs-all the l ,001
Ills that flesh is heir TO, come this time OF
year, If Mt 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 rem
edy"
Singular but had forgotten that you do
not advertise TO cure all diseases from one
bottle, as is dono generally by many other
medicine men, but 1 supposed Warmers
Safe Cure was FOR the cure OF rheuma-
tism."
And so il 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 ele-
ments 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 investiga-
ton we learned OF remark able cure at u
celebrated springs, and put experts 10 in
vestigate and found that the springs did not
contain any valuable properties, bat tho
course of treatment that was being given
there was performing all the benefit. BY
carefully combining the active principles of
this remedy with our Safe Cure, we have pro-
duced our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and tho
cures 1t is affecting are simply wonderful, and
do not doubt il will become as popular as
our Safe Cure"
You seem to talk freely in regard to your
remedies, and appear 10 have nc secrets, Mr..
Warner"
hundred calls and one hundred diseases, is
necessarily compelled to guess at a great
deal We are enabled 10 follow up and per-
feet, while physicians can only experiment
with their hundred patients and hundred
diseases. With the ordinary physician the
code binds him down, so that If he makes
discovery, he is bound TO give il to the other
physicians, which, of course, discourages in
vestigaton, to Il ~ eat extent. This is why
the great iscove. les in medical science OF
late years have been made Ivy chemists and
scientists and not 10y physicians, and il In a
measure accounts for the great value of our
remedies, also for the remarkable success OF
all those doctors who make a specially of one
or two diseases"
"And you find that you are curing as great
a number OF people as ever beforeG'
Yes "a 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 aho q 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 medicines
are used throughout the entire length and
brcadth'of the land, and we doubt not the re-
suits they arc ehccting arc really as wonder
tul as they are RELAXED TO be.
