BUSINESS HOUSES AND IT'S
GREAT MAGNITUDE.
The present floods, which are either
devastating or threatening the country
in every direction, are justly cause for
apprehension. No matter whether
they come suddenly or by slow degrees,
they are, in either case, great evil aud
much to be dreaded, and yet America
will always be troubled by these spring
overhows. Probably one of the most
disastrous that was ever known, oc-
Cured ia Rochester, n. Y, about
twenty years ago. The Geuesee river,
Just above the falls, where Sam Patch
made his final aud fatal leap, became
completely blockaded by ice, forming an
impossible dam, aud the water coming
down the Genes river overlooked the
principal portion OF the city of Roches-
ter This catastrophe would have been
repeated the present year had not the
energy and foresi ght of the city author
tiles prevented it. The writer happen
ed to be in Rochester at that time and
wa, greatly interested in the manner in
which this great catastrophe was avert
ed. Every few moments, n roar like
tn peals of thunder or the buomi Y of
cannon would be- heard. and n order
to see this ice blasting process the writ
er went to the top of the new Warner
building, which overloJks the Genesee
river. From here he was not only
enabled to see the process uninterrupt-
edly, but also the magnificent building
which has Just been completed. This
is unquestionably the finest building
devoted to business and manufacturing
purposes in America, being entirely
fireproof, eight stories high, aud con
tanning over four and quarter acres OF
flooring. Mr. Warner treated your
correspondent very courteously. and
in the course of the conversation
said
ave are doing tremendous bust
ness are far behind in our orders. This
is the season Of the year when people,
no matter how strong their constitu-
tion may be, feel, more or less, the pain
aud indisposition, the headaches, colds,
neuralgia, rheumatism, dull pains, sore
throats, coughs--all the l,00l 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
especially true of our Safe Rheumatic
Cure, and it is crowding us very sharp
ly for new remedy"
singular, but l had forgotten that
you do not advertise to cure all diseas-
rs from one bottle, as is done generally
by many other medicine men, but |
supposed Warmers Safe Cure was for
the cure of rheumatism"
Sand 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 as
Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver Cure,
that made wonderful cures in chronic
and acute rheumatism, but during om
investigation, we learned of a remark
able cure at celebrated springs, and
put experts to investigate and found
that the springs did not contain any
valuable properties. but the course of
treatment that was being given there
was performing all the benefit. By
carefully combining the active princi-
Piles of this remedy with our Safe Cure,
we have produced our Safe Rheumatic
Cure, and the cures it is effectng 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 remedy and 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 great deal. We are enabled
to follow up and perfect, while physi-
clans can only experiment with their
hundred patients and hundred diseases.
With the ordinary physician, the code
binds him down, so that if he makes
discovery, he is bound to give it to the
other physicians, which, of course, dis
courages Investigation, to great ex
tent, This is why the great discover
les 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
a speciality of one or two diseases
Sand you find that you are curing
as great number of people as ever be
fore I"
"Yes, 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.. War
ner. but by the vastness 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 ,eally as wonderful as they
are related to be.
