The present floods, which are either devas-
tating or threatening the country in every di'
recuon, are justly cause for apprt henslon.
| No matter whether they come suddenly or by

| Rochester, n. Y, about twenty years ago.
| The Gencsee river just above the falls where

Rochester at that time, and was greatly in

I'VE are doing tremendous business and

son OF the year when people, no matter how
strong their constitution may be, feel, more

pains, sore threats, coughs all the l,O0l ills

we shoull be very busy. This is specially
true of our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and 1t is

medicine men, but supposed Warmers Safo

And so it has been until our remedy

neuralgia, was introduced We have been
three years Ierfecting this new remedy

"None whatever. The physician with his
hundred calls and one hundred d sea,cs Is
neccs ari'y compelled to guess at great
deal. We are enabled to follow up and per-

with their hundred atients and hun lred dis

covery, lie is bound to give it 20 the other

the great discoveries in medical S fence OF
late Years have been made by chemists and
scientists and not by physicians, aud il in a

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
number of people a ever before y

sold SO much of our medicine as now and
never knew OF so many remarkable cures
