in every direction, are justly cause for
apprehension. No matter whether they
come suddenly OF by slow degrees.
they arc in either case, great
evil and much to be dreaded.
and yet America will always be
irouhed by these spring overfiows.
Probably one of the most disastrous that
was ever known, occurred in Roche ster,
n. y. about twenty years ago. The
Genesee river. just above the falls, where
Sam Patch made his final and fatal leap.
became completely blockadeG by ice,
forming ar inpassa6'e dana. and the
water coming down the Genesee river
overlooked the principal portion of the
city Of Rochester. This catastrophe
would have been repeated the present
year had not the energy and foresight
81 the city authorities prevented it. The
writer happened 10 be in Rochester at
that time and was greately interested in
the manner in which this great catas-
trophe was averted. Every few moments
roar like the peals OF thunder or the
booming of cannon would be heard, and
in order to see this ice blasting process
the writer went 10 the top of the new
Warner building. which overlooks the
GeneSee river. From here he WIS not
only enabled to see the process uninter
luptealy, but also the magnificent build
ing which has Just been completed. This
IS unquestionably the finest building de-
voted to business and manufacturing
purposes in America, being entirely
ircproof, eight stories high, and contain
ing over four and a quarter acres of
flooring. Mr.. Warner treated your cor
respondent very courteously, and in the
course of the conversation said:
eve are doing a 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 les, the pain and
nd:sposition, the headaches, colds, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, dull pains, sore
throats, coughs--all the 1901 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 sharply
for new remedy"
singular, but l 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
posed Warmers Safe Cure was for the
cure Of rheumatism.
and so it has leen until our remedy
wi IN was especi lily for rheuma ism
and neuralgia, rs 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 our
investigation we learned of remsrka-
BILE cure at celebrated springs, and put
experts TO inve stigate and found that
the springs did not contain any valuable
propsrtie4, but the course of treatment
that was being given there was perform
ing all the benefit. BY carefully COM
biuing the active principles of this rem
edy with our Safe Cure, we have pro-
duced our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and
the cures it is effectisg ar e simply won
deiful, and / do notdoubtit will become
as popular as our Safe Cure"
You seem to talk freely in regard to
your remedies and appear to have no Sc
cres, Mr. Warner"
"None whatever. The physician with
his hundred calls and one hundred dis
eases, is necessarily compelled to guess
at a great deal. We are enabled to fol-
low up and perfect, while physicians
can only experiment with their hundre
patients and hundred diseases. With
the ordinary physician, the code binds
him down, so that if he makes discov-
cry, he is bound to give it to the other
physicians, which, of course, discour-
ages in vestigation, to q 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 &C
counts for the great value of our RENE
dies, also for the remarkable success of
all those doctors who make a specially
Of enc or two diseases"
"And you find that you are curing
a. great number Of people as ever be-
fo<e?'
Yes, a greater number. We never
sold so much of our medicine as now
and never knew of so many remarkable
cures"
The writer departed after the above
interview, but was greatly impressed,
not only by the sincerity Of Mr. Warner,
but by the vsstness of all se saw. Mr..
Warmers medicines are used throughout
the entire length and breadth Of the land,
and we dowbt not the result they are ef-
fecting ara really as wonderful AZ they
are related to be.
