"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER,.
The Falls of the GeResee and Sam
Patch's Fatal Leap--0ae OF its
Business Houses 3pd its
great Magnitude.

The present floods, which are either de-
vastating or threatening the county IN
every direction, are justly cause for ap-
prehension. No matter whether they come
suddenly or by slow degrees, they are, in
either case, q great evil and much TO be
dreaded, and yet America will always be
troubled by these spring overfows. Pro-
badly one of the most disastrous that was
ever known, occurred in. Rochester, N. Y,
about twenty years ago. The Genesee
river, just above the falls, where Sam
Patch made his final and fatal leap. be-
came completely blockaded by Ice, FORM
ing an impossible dam, and the water
coming down the Genesee river overfiowed
the principal portion of the city of Roches.
ter. This catastrophe would have been
repeated 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
interested in the manner in which this
great catastrophe was averted. Every few
moments, a roar like the peals of thunder
or the booming OF cannon would be heard,
and In order to see this ice blasting pro-
cess, the writer went to the top OF the new
Warner building, which overlo0ks the Gen.
esee river. From here he was not only
enabled to see the process unInterruptedly,
but also the magnificent building which
has Just been completed. This Is unques-
tionabIy the finest building devoted to bus
iness and manufacturing purposes In
Amenca, being entirely fireproof, eight
stores high, and containing over four and
q quarter acres OF flooring. Mr.. Warner
treated your correspondent very courte-
ously, and in the course OF the cenversa-
ton said:
"We are dong q 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,OOl 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 1t Is crowdlng us |
very sharply for a 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 War
ner's Safe Cure was for the cure Of rheu-
matlsm."
'tAnd so 1t has been until our remedy
which was especially for rheumatism and
was introduced. We have been I
three years perfectlng this new remedy.
Study first taught us there we're certain
powerful elements in Warmers Safe cure,
better known as Warmers Safe Kidney
and Liver Cure, that made wonderful
cures in chrome and acute rheumatism, but
during our investigation, We learned of a
cure at a celebrated springs,
that the springs did not contain any valua-
BILE properties, but the course of treatment
that was being gwen 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 effect
ing 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 Sc
crets. MIR. Warner"
'.None whatever. The physician with
bis hundred calls and one hundred diseas-
es, is necessarily compelled to guess at a
great deal We are enabled to follow I'D
and perfect, while physicians can only ex-
pertinent with their hun irod patients and
hundred diseases. With the ordinary ply
sicisn, the code binds him down, so that
Il he makes q discovery, he is bound to
give it to the other physicians, which, of
course, discourages investigation 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 ac-
counts TOR the great value of our remedies,
also for the remarkable success of all those
doctors who make a specially of one or
TWO diseases"
"And you find that you are curing as
great number of people as ever before2"
''Yes, far greater number. We never
'old so much of our medicine rs now and
never knew of SO many remarkable cures'
The writer departed after the above in
erview, but was greatly impressed, not 5
,nly by the sincerity of Mr.. Warmer. but
,y the vastness of all he saw. Mr.
Warmers medicines are used throughout
he entire length and breadth of the land, {
md We doubt not the results they are eff
ectlng are really as wonderful as they are ,
elated to be. (
