Business HoueeS and Its
Great Magnitude.
The present floods, which are either
devastating or threatening the country
in every direction, are justly cause fer
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 al
ways be troubled by these spring over
flows. Probably one of the most disas-
trous that was ever known occurred in
Rochester, n. Y. about twenty years

course of the conversation said:
"We are doing tremendous business

no matter how strong their constitution

You seem to talk freely in regard tc
your remedies and appear to have ne
secrets, 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 tc
follow up and perfect, while physicians
can only experiment with their hundred
patients and hundred diseases. With
the ordinary physician, the code binds
him down So that if he makes discov-

physicians, which, of course, discourage:
