in summer. when all nature bedecks her
self in robes of green. there must be
veritable Eden along the line of the n. 9

But that which viii prove of creates
interest to the thousands of VIRGINAN
readers will be a description Of the vas
establishment Of Messrs. FL. FL. Warner &
Co. the great kidney and liver cure firm
After reaching Rochester, your CORE
sp0ndent lost no time in hunting up War
ner's great establishment. Twas moi
hard to find, as everybody knew where il
Was located. On getting Oh the inside Of
this wonderful establishment, which is
six stories in height, and covers a whole
square. We were met by y polite attendant
who directed us to the office of Mr.. Whit
more, the manager And just here let US
i remark that the continent can not furnish
a more gent!emanly, polite business man.
There Was none Of that stiff unapprOach-
ableness about this gentleman, who has
upon his shoulders about as much business
as fifty ordinary business men in this sec
tion, but with warm grasp and a pleasant
smile he babe us welcome, and during our
stay of two days. made Us perfectly at ease
with our surroundings. Mr.. Whitmore
turned US over to their DR.. Clark, who
kindly showed us over the wonderful
| house. First we were shown into the tes-
timonial department. where are kept the
voluntary letters of thanks from thousands
upon thousands from every village, ham,
let and town in the United States and all
other countries
|. A bare glance over their testimonials
would occupy year, so we simply took q
note of the thousands Of stupendous vol
umes of letters all glowing with the thanks
of the many, very many who have been
brought from sickness % health by the
use of Warmers Safe Cures.
Wa were shown through the Safe Y east
mandatory and were struck speechless
| by the enormity of the business done. The
hundreds of operatives were working like
life depended on their efforts and tons
upon tons of boxes of this popular prepara-
tion were being manufactured and sent
out
| Messrs. Warner & Co. have special
machinery for the manufacture of all their
goods Their immense cylindrical yeast
machine is a wonder in itself, while The
box making department in all its branches
is simply wonderful.
For the preparation of Warmers Safe
Cure and Pills, this firm have monopoly
OF all the ingredients, and no one outside
the firm could make guess either Of what
their medicines are made or how
In the mailing department we could
hardly believe our eyes, for as true as I
tell you, there were to be seen car loads of
mail bags ready for being sent flying all
over the county. The government fur
nishes Messrs Warner Il Co. several mail
ing clerks, whose duty it is to cancel
stamps, and they have to work like nailers
! to keep up.

can not give you an idea of the i'm.
mensity of the concern. Five hundred
dollars per day would possibly cover their
postage hill--not less though, / I'M sure.
In the bottling department we saw the
most costly botIling machinery, doing the
work of 500 men. We weEe shown the
siphons, which, when in operation, bottle
5000 gallons Of Safe Cnre;per day.
On one floor the tick, tick, tick of thirty
or forty type writer's greet the ear, and
these writer's are each managed by experts
whose hands seem to fly while al work.
The firm employs.a numerous company
OF stenographers who take as rapidly as
our friend Theo. T. shuey, of the U. S.
Senate.
Mr.. H. Il. Warner has recently been
honored highly by his fellow citizens, by
having been elected president of the Ro-
chester Board Of Trade, and is making
preparations for grand banquet to be
given shortly in honor of the occasion
The people of the city idolize this wonder

done wonderful work in building up 80

having built an observatory and fitted it
up at an enorG GUS cost.

great success. In personal appearance he

not so tisshy. He stands full six feet two,
carrying no surplus heal. His face wears
most kindly, open expression, while his
eyes fairly glow with brightness and intel
ligence. He has done great work for his
race and stands to-day the King of Pro-
prietary Medicine men.
He adyertises more largely than any
other firm in the world, and there is nc
place among civilized people where Ell. Fl.
Warmers Safe cure is not known.
He certainly feels pride las he should)
in the accomplishment Of such great
work as has emanated from his brain, and
the words Of gratitude that rour into the
house from all quarters by every mail
should be source of great satisfaction to
him. His everyzemployee is of high char

from the instant one meets him. DIR.
