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

The present foods, 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 overaows. 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 overfiowed 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
1t. The writer happened to be in Rochester
at that time and was greatly interes; led in
the manner 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 overlooxs the Genesee River. From
here he was not only enabled to see the
process uninterruptedly, but also the mag
nificent building which has just been com
pleted. Tnis is unquestionabiy the finest
building devoted to business and manu-
featuring purposes in America, being en-
tirely tireproof, eight stories high, and con-
tanning over four and a quarter acres of
flooring. Mr.. Warner treated your CORE
spondent very eourteously, and in the
course of the conversation said:
We are doing 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

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 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 Warn.

"And so it has been until our remedy
which was especially for rheumatism and
neuralgia, was introduced. We have bsen

You seem to talk freely in regard to

lie makes discovery, he is bound to give
it to the other physicians, which, of course,
discourages investigation, to great ex-
tent. This is why the great discoveries in
medical science of late years have been
made by chemists and scientists aud not
by physicians, and it in measure accounts

for the remarkable success of all those doc

"And you find that You are curing as
great a number of people as ever before:"
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 in |
terview, but was greatly impressed, not |
only by the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, but |
by the vastness of all he saw. Mr.. Warn |
er's medicines are used throughout the en- |
tire length and breadth or the land. and we |
doubt not the result they are effecting are
-eally as wonderful as they are related to be. |
