The Falls of the Geuesee ana Sam
 Patch's Fatal Leap-One OH Its Busi-
 ness Houses and Its Great Magnitude
 The present floods, which are either de-
 vastating 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 always be troubled by these |
 spring overhows. Probably 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 impossible dam, and the water
 coming down the Genesee river overfowed
 the principal portion of the city of Rochss- ter. This catastrophe would have been re- peated the present year had not the energy l and foresight of the city authorities prevent | ed 1t. The writer happened to be in Roches- fer at that time and was greatly interested in the manner in which this great catastrophe l was averted. Every few moments 8 rear l like the peals of thunder or the booming of 1 cannon would be heard and in order to see 1 this ice blasting process the writer went to the top of the new Warner building, which I overlooks the Genesee river. From here he | was not only enabled to see the process un | interruptedly, but also the magnificent build ] ing which has just been completed. This is unquestionably the finest building devoted to business and manufacturing purposes in l America, being entirely fireproof, eight sto-
 ries high and containing over four and quar
 ter acres of flooring. Mir. Warner treated your correspondent 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 constitutions may be, feel, more or less, the pain and indisposition. the headaches, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, dull pains. sore throats, ceughs-all the l ,OO1 ills that flesh is heir to come this time of the year, if at all. It is natural, therefore, that we should be very busy. This is specially true of our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and it is l crowding us very sharply for a new rem edy."
 Singular, but had forgotten that you do 1 not advertise to cure all diseases from one bottle, as is done generally by many other l medicine men, but l supposed Warmers Safe Cure was for the cure of rheumatism "And so 1t has been until our remedy which was especially for rheumatism and neuralgia, was introduced. We have been three years perfectiug this new remedy, Study first taught US there were certain pow erful elements in Warmers Safe Cure, better known Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, that made wonderful cures in chronic and acute rheumatism, but during our inves- l tigation we learned of remarkable cure at a celebrated springs, and put experts to inves- tigate and found that the springs did not contain any valuable properties, but the course of treatment that was being given l there was performing all the benefit By carefully combining the active principles of l this remedy with Safe Cure we have l produced our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and the | cures it is effecting are simply wonderful, and do not doubt it will become as popular l as our Safe Cure"
 You seem to talk freely in regard to your ] remedies and appear to have no secrets, MT. Warner"
 "None whatever. The physician with his hundred calls and one hundred diseases is necessarily compelled to guess at great deal. We are enabled to 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 l discovery he is bound to give it to the other l physicians, which, of course, discourages 1 investigation to great extent. This is why the great discoveries in medical science of late years have been made by chemists and l scientists and not by physicians, and it in 1 measure accounts for the great value of our
 remedies, also for the remarkable success of all those doctors who make speciality of one or two diseases
 And you find that you curing as great a number of people as ever before?" "Yes, far greater number. We never sold much of our medicine as nov and
 never knew of so many remarkable cures" The writer departed after the above in
 terview, but was greatly impressed, not
 only by the sincerity of MT. Warner, but
 by the vastness of all he saw. MT. War ners medicines are used throughout the
 entire length and breadth of the land, and
