"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 foods which are either devas-
tating or threatening the country in every dl-
rection, are justly cause for apprehension. NO
matter whether they came suddenly or by slow
deaIees, they are, in either case, q 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 bis
final and fatal leap, became completely block
AIDED by ice, forming an impossible dam, and
the water coming down the Genesee River over
flowed the principal portion of the city OF
Rochester. This catastrophe would have been
repeated the present year had Rot the energy
aud foresight of the city authorities prevented
1t. The writer happened to be In Rochester at
that time, and was greatly interested IN the
manner in which this great catastrophe was
averted. Every few moments roar like the
peas 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 overiooks the
Genesee River. From here he was not only en-
Sbed to see the process uninterruptedly, but
also the magnificent building which has just
been completed This is unquestiOnably the
finest building devoted to business and manu-
featuring purposes in America. being entirely
tire-proof, eight stories high, and containing
over four and q quarter acres of flooring. MIR.
Warner treated your correspondent very cOur-
teously, and in the course of the conversation
said:
1--WE are doing tremendous business and are
far behind in 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 indispositlon, the headaches, colds.
va 20 lrric rb ffrv,, l1YlI main
throats, coughs--all the LOCI 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 Rheu-
matte 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 bot
tie, as is done generally by many other medi-
cine men, but l supposed Warmers Safe Cure
was for the cure of rheumatism"
''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 elements
in Warmers Safe Cure, better known as War
ner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, that made
wonderful cures in chronic and acute Theuma-
tlsm, but during our investigation, we learned
OF remarkable cure at a celebrated springs,
and put experts to investigate and found that
critics, out the course of treatment that was
being given there was performing all the bene-
ut. BY carefully combining the active princi-
pies of this remedy with our Safe Cure, we have
produced our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and the
cures it Is etfecting are simply wonderful, and
l do not doubt 1t Will become as popular as our
Safe Cure"
"You seem to talk freely in regard to your
remedies and appear to have no secrets, MIR.
Warner
None whatever. The physician with his
hundred calls and one hundred diseases, Is nee
essarlly compelled to guess at great deal. We
are enabled to follow up and perfect, while ply
slclans 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 10
give 1t TO the other physicians, which, ofcourse,
dlscourages investigation, to a great extent.
This Is why the great discoveries III medical
science of late years have been made by chem
lists and scientists and not by physicians, and it
IN 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"
Sand you find that you are curing as great q
number of people as ever befere?"
"Yes, 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 above interview
but was greatly impressed, not only by the sim
cerity of Mr.. Warner, but by the vastness of ali
he sew. Mr.. Warmers medicines are used
throughout the entire length and breadth of
the land, aud we doubt not the results they are
effecting are really as wonderful as they are re-
lated to be.
