Houses and its Great Magnitude.
The present floods, which are either
devestatingor threatening the country in
every direction, are justly cause for ap-
prehension. 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
overflows. Probably one of the most
disastrous that was ever known, occur ed
In Rochester, N. u, about twenty years
ago. The Ienesee river, just above
the falls, where Sam Patch made his
| final and faral leap, became completely
blockaded by zee, form ing an imps IS
able dam. and the water coming down
the Genesee river overlooking the prin-
cpal portion of the city of Rochester.
This catastrophe would have been
repeated the present year had not the
energy and foresight OF the city authori-
ties prevented it. The writer happened
to'be in Rochester ut that time and was
| greatly interested in the manner in
which this great catastrophe was avert
ed. Every few moments, roar like

proof, eight stories high, and contain

flooring. Mr.. Warner treated Your
correspondent veiy courteously, and in
the course of the conversation said:
1--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 constitutions
may be, feel, more or less, the pain and
indispositiop, the headaches, colds, neu.

threats, coLghs-all the 1,00l ills that

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 new remedy"
singular, but | had forgotten that
you do not advertise to cure all diseas-
es from one bottle, as is done generally
by many other medicine men, but sup
posed Warmers Safe Cure was for the
cure of rheumatism -
"And so it has been until our remedy
which was specially for rheuma ism and
neuralgia, was introduced. We have
been three years perfecting this new
remedy. Study first taught us there
were certain powerful elements in Warn
er's Safe Cure. better known as Warmers
Safe Liver and Kidney Cure, that made
wonderful cures in chronic and acute
rheumatism. but during our investiga-
ton, we learned of a remarkable cure
at celebrated springs, and put experts
to investigate and found that the springs
did not contain any valuable proper
ties, but the course of treatment that was
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 simply wonderful, and |
do not doubt it will become as popular
as our Safe Cure"
''You seem to talk freely in regard
to your remedies and appear to have no
secrets, Mr.. Warner"
''None whatever. The physician
with his hundred calls and one hum
dred diseases, is necessarily compelled
to guess at great deal. We are en-
abled to follow up and perfect, while
physicians can only experiment with
their hundred patients and hundred
diseases. With the ordinary physician,
the code binds him down, so that il he
makes discovery, he is bound to give
it to the other physicians, which, of
course, discourages investigation, TO a
great extent. This is why the great
discoveries in medical science of late
years have been made by chemists and
scientists and not by physicians, and it
in a measure accounts for the great
value of our medies, also for the re-
markable success of all those doctors
who make speciality of one or two
diseases"
"And you find that you are curing as
great n number of people as ever be-
fore ?"
Eyes. Il far greater number. We
never sold so much of our medicine as
now and never knew of so many re-
markable cures"
The writer departed after the above
interview, but was greatly impressed.
not only by the sincerity of Mr.. Warn
er. but by the vastness of all he saw.
Mr.. Warmers medicines arc used
throughout the entire length and
breadth of the land, and we doubt not
tho result they are effecting are really
as wonderful as they are related to be.
