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


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 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, torm-
ing an impossible dam, and the water COM
ing down the Genesee River overlooked 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 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 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
| pieted. This is unquestionabiy 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 a quarter acres OF
flooring. Mr.. Warner treated your CORE
| spondent very courteously, 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 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,
| rheumatism, dull pains, sore thro ats,
coughs-all the 1,c01 ills that flesh is heil
to come this time of the year, If at all. II
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 new remedy"
"SingulAr, but hal 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
er,s Safe Cure was for the cure of rheuma
tism."
"And so it has been until our remedy
| which was especially for rheumatism an
; neuralgia, was introduced. We have bee.
three years perfecting this new remedy
! Study first taught US there were certain
powerful elements in warmers Safe Cure
better known as Warmers Safe Kidney ant
Liver Cure, that made wonderful cures II
chronic and acute rheumatism, but durins
| our investigation, we learned OF remark
able cure at a celebrated springs, and pu
experts to investigate and found that tn
springs did not contain any valuable prop
critics, but the course OF treatment that wa
being given there was performing all tn
+ benefit. By carefully combining the activ
principles of this remedy with our SAT-
, | Cure, we have produced our Safe Rheumati
, Cure, and the cures it Is efecting are sim
ply wonderful, and ] do not doubt it Wi
becom. as popular as our Safe Cure"
"You seem to talk freely in regard
! your remedies and appear to have no 81
crets, Mr.. Warner"
"None whatever. The physician wit
his hundred calls and one hundred disease
is necessarily compelled to guess at gres
deal. We are enabled to follow up an
e perfect, while physicians can only exper
G ment with their hundred patients and hun
4 dred diseases. With the ordinary phys
? clan, the code binds dim down, SO that
he makes q discovery, he Is bound to Civ
it to the other physicians, which, OF cours
discourages investigation, to q great e:
= medical science OF late years have bee
made by chemists and scientists and M
q by physicians, and it in q measure accoun
for the great value of our remedies, al:
for the remarkable success of all those do
tors who make speciality OF one or tv
Diseases"
"And you find that you are curing
l. great q number of people as eyer before
q "Yes, far greater number. We new
8 sold so much Of our medicine rs now Al
!. never knew of so many remarkable cures
The writer departed after the above
terview, but was greatly impressed, n
5 only by the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, b
o by the vastness of all he saw. Mr.. War
r. er's medicines are used throughout the e
tire length and breadth of the land, and '
doubt not the result they are efYecting q
really as wonderful as they are related to
