The present Hoods, which are either devas
tating thr at ming 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 Amer
lea will always be troubled by these spring
overflows. Probably one of the most disas
trous that was ever known, occurred in
Rochester, N Y, about twenty years ago.
Inc Genosee river, Just above the falls, where
Sam Patch made his final and fatal lsor, be-
came completely blockaded by ice, t~nng
an impossible dam, and the water e. ming
down the Genesee river overflowed the
principal portion of the city of Rochester.
This catastrophe would have been repeated
the present year had not the energy and fore
sight 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 pe1ls of thunter or the booming
of cannon would be heard and i'll
order to see this ice blasting process, the
writer went to the top of the new Warner
building which overlooks the Genesee river.
From here he was not only enabled TO see the
process uninterruptcdly but also the magnif.
cent building which has just been completed.
This is unquestionably the finest building de-
voted to business and manufacturing purpo-
scs in America, being entirely fireproof, eight
4 1ries high, and containing over four and
quarter acres of flooring. Mr.. Warner treated
your correspondent very courteously, and in
the course of the conversation said:
1--WE are doing a tremendous business and
are far behind in our orders. This is the sea
son of the year when people, no matter how
strong their constitution may be, feel, more
or less, the pain and indisposition, the head
aches, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, dull
pains, sore threats, coughs-all the l,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 it is
crowding us very sharply for 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 Warmers Safe
Cure was for the cure of rheumatism"
"And 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 us Warmers Safe Kidney and
! Liver Cure, that made wonderful cures in
chronic and acute rheumatism, but during
our investigation, we learned of n remarka.
bic cure at a celebrated springs, and put ex-
perts to investigate and found that the
+
ties, but the course of treatment that was
being given there was performing all the ben.
eft. BY carefully combining the active prin.
ciples of this remedy with our Safe cure we
have produced our Safe Rheumatic Cute, and
the cures it is effecting 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 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 physicians can only experiment with
their 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 a great extent.
This is why the great discoveries in medical
science of late years have been made by
hemists and scientists and not by physicians,
nd it in a measure accounts for the great
'alue of our remedies, also for the remarka-
/ bic success of all those doctors who make a
speciality of one or two diseases"
And you find that you are curing as great
number of people as ever beforeF,
Yes, a far 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 inter
view, but was greatly impressed not only by
the sincerity of MIR. Warner, but by the vast
ness of all he saw. Mr.. Warmers medicines
are used throughout the entire length and
breadth of the land, and we doubt not the
result they are effecting are really as wonder
full as they are related to be.
