"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER.
The Falls of the Genesee and sam Ratchos
Fatal Leap--Qne of its Business Houses


and It's Great Ma gnitnde. -,
| The present floods, which are eltner ueVaS-
tating or threatening the country in every dI-
rection, are Justly cause for appre nehslon.
| No matter whether they come suddenly OF pV
| slow degrees, they are, in either case, great
| evil and much to be dreaded, and YET amer
| lea will always be troubled by these spring
overfows Probably one of the most dlSas-
trous that was ever known, occurred IN
Rochester, N Y, about twenty years ago
| The Genesee river, just above the 1alis, where
Sam Patch made his final and fatal leap, De-
came completely blockaded by ice, forming
an impossible dam, and the water coming
down the Genesee river overlooked the Pfln-
cipaI portion of the city of Rochester
This catastrophe would have been re-
peated the present year had not the en-
ergY and foresight of the city authorities
prevented it. The writer happened to be In
Rochester at that time, and was greatly In
terested in the manner in which tins great
catastrophe was averted. Every Few mo
ments, 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 overlooks the Genesee river.
From here he was not only enabled to see the
process unnterruptedly, but also the mag
nifcent building which has just been com
pleted. This is unqueStonably the finest
building devoted to business and manufac-
turing purposes in America. beng entirely
ffreproof, eight stories high, and containing
over four and a quarter acres of flooring
Mr.. Warner treated your correspondent very
courteously, ard in the course of the CONVEX
sation said:
ave are doing a tremendous business and
are far behind in our orders. This is the sea-
son of the year when people, no matter how
strong their constitution may be, feel, more
or less, the pain and indisposition, the head
aches, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, dull
pains, sore Threats, coughs-al the 1,0O1 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 Rheumatic Cure, and it is
crowding us very sharply for new
remedy"
tSingular, 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 Warmers Safe
Cure was for the cure of rheumatism
"And SO it has been until cur 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 Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, that made wonderful cures in
chronic and acute rheumatism, but during
our investigation, we learned of remark
able cure at celebrated springs, and put ex-
perts to investigate and found that the
springs did not contain any valuable prop
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 Won
derful, and do not doubt it will become as
popular as our Safe Cure"
t'You seem to talk freely in regard to your
remedies aud appear to have no secrets, Mr..
Warner"
"None whatever. The physician with his
hundred calls and one hundred Diseases is
necessarily compelled to guess at a great
deal. We are enabled to follow up and per-
feet, while physicians can only experiment
with their hundred patients and hundred dis
eases. With the ordinary physician, the code
binds him down, so that if he makes a dis
physicians, which, of course, discourages in
vestigation, to 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
remedies, also for the remarkable success of
all those doctors who make speciality of one
or two diseases"
''And you find that you are curing as great
a number of people as ever before Z"
YES far greater number. We never
sold so much of our medicine as now and
never knew of so many remarkable cures"
The writer departe after the above inter-
view, but was greatly impressed, not only by
the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, but by the vast
ness of all he saw. Mr.. Warmers medicines
are used throughout the entire length and
breadth of the land, and we doubt not the re-
suit they are effecting are really as wonder
full as they are related to be-
