Tho present foods, 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
and much TO be dreaded, and yet
America will always be troubled by
these spring overAows. Probably 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 fatal leap, became com.
pletely blockaded by ice, forming an
impossible dam, and the water coming
down the Genesee river overfowed
the principal portion of the city of Roch-
ester. This catastrophe would have
been repeated the present year had not
the energy 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 ave-ted. 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 p, ocess, the wri-
Ger went to the top of the new Warner
building, which overlooks the Genesee
river. From here he WAS not only en-
abled to see the process uninterruptedly,
but also the magnificent building which
has just been completed. This is I'M
questionably the finest building devoted
to business and manufacturing purposes
in America, being entirely fireproof,
eight stories high, and containing over
four and q quarter acres of flooring.
Mr.. Warner treated your correspc ndent
very courteonsly, and in the course of
the conversation said:
1--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 indisposition, the headaches, colds,
neuralgia, rheumatism, dull pains,
sore throats, coughs-all the 1,O01 ills
that flesh is heir to come this time of
the year, if at all. It is natural,
therefore, that we should be very
busy. This is specially true of our
Safe Rheumatic Cure, and it is crowd
ing us very sharply for new remedy. "
"Singular, but I had forgotten that
you do not advertise to cure all diseases
from one bottle, as is done generally by
many other medicine men, but sup
pose Warmers Safe Cure was for the
cure of rheumatism"
"And so it has been until or remedy
which was especially for rheumatism
and neuralgia, was introduced. We
have been three years persccting 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 our
investigation, we learned of remark
able cure at a 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.
pies of this remedy with our Safe cure
we have produced our Safe Rheumatic
Cure, and the cures it is effecting are
simply wonderful, and do not doubt il
will become as popular as our Safe
Cure"
"You seem to talk freely in regard tt
your remedies and appear to have nc
secrets, Mr.. Warner.
"None whatever. The physician will

The writer departed after the abov,
