"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER.
The Falls OF the Genescc and Sam
Patch's Fatal Leap-One of Its
Business Houses and Its
Great 0Iapnifude.

The present floods, which are either dev.
astatinG or threatening the county in ev-
cry direction, are justly cause for appre-
hension. No matter whether they como
suddenly or by slow degrees, they are, in
either case, a great evil and much to be
dreaded, and yet America will always be
troubled by these spring overhows. Prob
ably one of the most disa that was
ever known, occurred in Rochester, n. ",
about twenty years ago. The Genesee
River, just above the falls, where Sam
Patch made his final and fatal leap, Le-
came completely blockaded by ice, Iorm-
ing an impossible dam, and the water COM
ing down the GeneSee River oveiflowed the
principal port on of the city of Roche Ster.
This catastrophe would have been repeated
the present year had rot the energy ana
foresight of the city authorizes prevented
it. The writer happened to be in Rochester
at that time and was greatly intcres ed 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 i'll order to SEQ
this ice blasting process, the writer went
to the top of the new Warner building,
which overlooxs the GeneSee River. From
here he was not only enabled to tae
process uninterruptediy, but also the mag
nifcent building which has just been com
pleted. T:iiS is unquestionab.y the finest
building devoted to business and manu-
featuring purposes in America, being en-
tirely fireproof, eight stories high, and con-
tanning over four and quarter acres Of
flooring. Mr.. Warner treated your corre-
spondent very courteouSiy, and in the
course of the conversation said:
1" We are doing a tremendous business
and are far behind in our orders. This is
the season of tho year when people, no
be, feel, more or less, the pain and indis-
position, the headaches, colds, neural gia,
rheumatism, dull pains, tllro ats,
coughs-all the l,eol ills that flesh is heir
lima of ha II at oil
is a,ural, 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 W arm
er'S Safe Cure was Tor the cure of rheuma-
tism."'
"And so it has been until our remedy
which was especially for rheumatism and
neuralc ia, was int-odUc d. We have been
three years perfecting this new remedy.
Study first taught uS there were ccrtai
powerful elements i'll Warmers Safe Cure,
better known as Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, that made wonderful cu' es i'll
chronic and acute rheumatism, but Curing
our investi., ga tion, we learned of a remark
able cure at Il celebrated springs, and put
expe. Is to invest iGate and fouui that the
springs did not contain any valuabl. prop
critics, but the course of trC atment 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 produced our Safe Rheumatic
Cure, ami the cures il is ctfcctinS are SIM
ply WONDERFUL, aud / do no. doub- it will
Decomn 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 diseases, B.,
is necessarily compelled to guess at great
deal. We are enabled 10 follow up and
perfect, while physicians can only expert
dred disea. eS. With the ordinary physi-
clan, the code binds dim down, SO that if
he makes a discovery, he is bound to give
it to the other ply sicians, which, of course,
discourages Investigation, to n great ex
tent This is why the great discoveries in
medical science of late years have been
made by chemists and scientists and not
by physicians, and it in measure accounts
for tue great value of our remedies, also
for the markabie success of all those doc
to-s who make speciality of one or two
discaScS.'
And you fni that you are curing is
great number of people as ever before ~
Yes, a far greater numtcr. We never
sold so much Of our medicine as now and
never knew of so many remarkable cures"
The writer departed after the above in
erview, hut was greatly impressed, not
only by the sincori V OF Mr.. ~ arrcr, hut
by the vastness of all he SAW. Mr.. arm
er'S medicines are used throughout the en-
tire lengIh ana t,I dti, OF tho iand, and we
doubt not the result they are effecting are
really as wonderful as they are related to be.
