and its Great Magnitude.
The present floods, which are either devas-
tating or threatening the country in every dl
~rection, are justly cause for appre henslon.
No matter whether they come suddenly OF by
SOW degrees, they are, in either case, a great
evil and much to be dreaded, and yet Amer
lea will always be troubled by these spring
overdows. Probably one of the most disas-
trous that a ever known, occurred In
Rochester, N. Y, about twenty years ago.
The Genesee river, just above the falls, where
Sam Patch male his final and fatal leap, be-
came completely b,ockaded by ice, forming
an impossible dam. and the water coming
down the Genesee river overdowed the prin-
cipal portion Of the city of Rochester.
This catastrophe would have been re-
peated the present year a 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 this great
catastrophe was averted. Every few mo-
ments, a roar like the peals of thunder OF the
booming of annon 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 uninterruptedly, but also the mag
nificent building which has just been com
pleted. This is unquestionably the finest
building devoted to business and manufac-
turing purposes in America. beng entirely
freproof, eight stories high, and containing
over four and a quarter acres of flooring.
Mr.. Warner treated your correspondent very
courteously, ard III the course of the CONVEX
sation said:
awe 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

pains sore threats, coughs-all the LOCI ills
that flesh is heir to come this time Of the
year, if at all. 1t is natural, therefore, that
we shoul1 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 l Lad forgotten that you
do not advertise to cure all diseases from one
bottle, as is done generally by many other
medicine nen, but I supposed Warmers Safe
Cure was lor the cue of rheumatism"
"Aud SO it has heen until cur remedy
which was especially for ~heu,natls and
neuralgia, was introduced. We have been
three years rerfecting this new remedy.

| powerful elements In Warmers Safe cure,

chronic and acute rheumatism, but during
our investigation, we learned of q remark

perts to investigate and found that the
springs did not contain any va liable prop
critics, but tie course of treatment that was
being given there was performing all the
benefit. By carefully combining the actiye
principles of this remedy with our SAFE cure,
we have produced our Safe Rheumatic Cure,
and the cures it is efecting are simply won
derful, aud l do not doubt it will become as
popular as our Safe Cure"
ttYou 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 hundred diseases, is
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
covery, he is bound to give it to the othel
physicians, which, of course, discourages in
yestie alton, 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
Measure accounts for the great value of on
remedies, also fol the remarkable success O.
all those doctors Sho make a speciality of on
or two diseases"
AND you nnu GIiat you cutlns aS sred
a number of people as ever before 60
"Yes, a far greater number. We neve
sold SO much OF our medicine as now ant
never knew of SO man remarkable cures"
The writer departe after the above inter
view, but was greatly impressed, not only b,
the sincerity of MIR. Warner, but by the vast
ness of all he saw. Mr.. Warmers medicine
are used throughout the entire length an
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.
