"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER,.
Tho Falls OF tho Gcncsce and Sam
Patch's Fatal Loap--Ono OF Its
Business Houses and Its
Erent Macnttude.

The present floods, which arc either dew
astating or threatening the county in ev-
cry direction, are justly cause for appre-
hension. No matter whether they como
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 overhows. 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 tho 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 overflowed 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 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 in order to see
This ice blasting process, the writer went
to the top of tho now Warner building,
which overlooks the Genesee River From
here he was not only enabled to see the
process uninterruptedly, but also the mag
niflcent building which has just been com.
pleted. This is unquestionably 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 quarter acres of
hooring. Mr.. Warner treated your corre-
spondent very courteously, 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
| be, feel, more or less, the pain and indis.
position, the headaches, colds, neuralgia,
rheumatism, dull pains, sore throats,
| coughs-all the 1,G01 ills that flesh is heir
to come this time of the year, If at all. 1t
| is natural, therefore, thatwe 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 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 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 US Warmers Safe Kidney and
| Liver Cure, that made wonderful cures in
| chronic and acute rheumatism, but during
l
able cure at a celebrated springs, and put
| experts to investigate and found that the
| springs did not contain any valuable prop
| critics, but the course of treatment that wa:
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 Rheumati,
| Cure, and the cures it Is effecting are sim
ply wonderful, and do not doubt it viii
become as popular as our Safe Cure"
"You seem to talk freely in regard tt
your remedies and appear to have no Sc
crets, MIR. Warner"
"None whatever. The physician will
his hundred calls and one hundred diseases
is necessarily compelled to guess at a grca
deal. We are enabled to follow up an,
perfect, while physicians can only expert
ment with their hundred patients and hun
| dred diseases. With the ordinary physi
clan, the code binds dim down, so that i
he makes discovery, he is bound to Civ,
it to the other physicians, which, of course
| discourages Investigation, to great ex
tent. This is why the great discoveries il
| medical science of late years have beel
made by chemists and scientists aud no
by physicians, and it in measure account
Tor the great value of our remedies, ais
for the remarkable success of all those doc
tors who make a speciality of one or tw
| diseases"
"And you find that you are curing a
great number of people as ever before? !?
Yes, n far greater number. We neve
sold SO much of our medicine us now ant
never knew of so many remarkable cures
The writer departed after the above in
terview, but was greatly impressed, no
only by the sincerity of Mr.. Warner, bu
by the vastness of all he saw. Mr.. Warn
er's medicines are used throughout the en-
tire length and breadth of the land, and w
doubt not the result they are .effecting ar
really as wonderful as they are related to be
