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

The present Hoods, which are either dew
astating or threatening the county in ev-
cry direction, are justly cause for appre-
hension. No matter whether they come
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 overfows. 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, be-
came completely blockaded by ice, FORM
ing an impossible dam, and the water COM
ing down the Genesee River overf1owed the
principal 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 prevented
it. The writer happened to be in Rochester
at that time and was greatly interested in
the manne in which this great catastrophe
was averted. Every few moments, a 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 the
process uninterruptedly, but also the mag
nifcent building which has just been COM
pleted. This is unquestionably the finest
building devoted to business and manu-

tirely fireproof, eight stories high, and con-
tanning over four and a quarter acres OF
flooring. Mr.. Warner treated your CORE
spondent very courteously, and In the
course of the conversation said:
"We are doing a tremendous business
and are 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 indis-
position, the headaches, colds, neuralgia,

coughs-all the 1,0O1 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 a new remedy"
"Singular, but I had forgotten that you
do not advertise to cure all diseases from
one bottle, as is done generally by many
other medicine men, but l supposed Warn
er's Safe Cure was for the cure of rheuma.
tism."
"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 lements 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 earned of a remark
able cure at q celebrated springs, and put
experts to investigate and found that the
springs did not contain any valuabl prop
critics, but the course of treatment that wa;
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, and the cures it is effecting are sim
ply wonderful, and I do not doubt it viii
become as popular as our Safe Cure"
"You seem to talk freely in regard tt
your remedies and appear to have no Sc
crets, Mr.. Warner"
"None whatever. The physician witt
his hundred calls and one hundred diseases
is necessarily compelled to guess at great
deal. We are enabled to follow up ant
perfect, while physicians can only expert
ment with their hundred patients and hun
dred diseases. With the ordinary physi
clan, the code binds dim down, SO that i
he makes a discovery, he is bound to give
it to the other physicians, which, of course
discourages investigation, to a great ex
tent. This is why the great discoveries il
medical science of late years have beer
made by chemists and scientists aud no
by physicians, and it in a measure accounts
for the great value of our remedies, alst
for the remarkable success of all those doc
tors who make a speciality of one or TIVE
diseases"
Sand you find that you are curing a.
great a number of people as ever before?'
Eyes, a far greater number. We nevel
sold so much of our medicine as now ant
never knew of SO many remarkable cures.
The writer departed after the above in
terview, but was greatly impressed, no
only by the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, bu
er's medicines are used throughout the en-
tire length and breadth of the land, and W
doubt not the result they are effecting ar,
really as wonderful as they are related to be
