The Falls of the Genesee and Sam Patch’s Fatal Leap—One of ity Busi- | mess Houses and Its Great Magni- | tude. | Waterloo (X. ¥.) Observer. ‘The present floods, which are either devastating or threatenjng the country in every direction, are justly cause for apprehension. No matter whether they come suddenly or by slow dezrees, they are, in either case, a great evil and much to be dreaded, and yet America will always be troubled by these sping overflows. Probably ‘one of the most disastrous that was ever known oc- curred in Kochester, N.Y., about twenty years ago. The Genesce river, Just above the fala, where Sam Patch made his fual aud fatal leap, became completely blockaded by ice, forming an impassable dam, and ‘the water coming down the Genesee river over- flowed the principal po-tion of the city of Roches- ter, This catastrophe would have been repeated the Present year had not the energy and foresight of the city ‘authoriti-s prevented it, The writer happened to be in Rochester at that time, and was greatly interested in the manner in w ich this great catastrophe was averted. Every few moments a roar like the peals of thunder or ‘the booming of canuon would be heard, aud in order to see this ice-blasting process the writer went to the top of the new Warner building, which overlooks the Gene- seeriver. From here he was not ouly enabled to see the Process uninterruptedly, but alsothe magnificent build- ing which has just been completed. This is unques- tionably the finest buildins devoted to business and manufacturing purposes in America, being entirely fire- Provf, eight stories high, aud containing over four and ‘quarter acrea of foozing. Mr. Warner treated your correspondent very courteously, and inthe course of the conversation said: “We are doing a tremendous business and are far be- hind inouc orders. Tuis is the season of the year when people, no matter how strong their constitution may be, ferl, more or less, the pain and indispusition, the head- aches, colds, neuralgia, rheumatism, dull patna, ore throats, conghs—all the 1,001 ills that flesh is heir to come this time of the year, fat all It is natural, there- fore, that we should be very busy. This is specially true of our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and it is crowding us very sharply for a new remedy.” “Singular, but I had forgotton that you do not edver- tise to cure all diseases from one buttie, as is done gen- eraily by many other medicine men, but I supposed Warner's Safe Cure was for the cureof rueumatisin.” And so it has been: until our remedy which was es- pecially for rheumatism and neuralgia. was intr duced. have been three years perfecting this new remedy. ly frst taucht us there were certain powerful ele- ments in Warner's Safe cure, better known as Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, that made wo derful cures in chronte and weute rheumatism, but during our in- vstixation, we learned of a remarkable cure at a cele- brated springs, and put experts to investigate, and. fonnd that the springa did not contain any valuable properties, but the course of treatment that was being given there was performing all the benefit. By care fully combining the active principles of this remedy with our Safe cure, we have produced our Safe Rheu- derful, and Ido not doubt it will become as popular as cur Safe Cure.” » physician with his hundred calls and one hundred diseases, is neorsarily compelled to gucssatayrest deal, We are enablid to folluw up and perfect, while physicians can only xperiment with | their hundred patients and hundred diseases, With the | ordinary physician, the code binds him down, so that if he makes adiacovery, he is bound to give it to the other physicians, which, of course, discourages investiscation, toagreatextent, This is why the gre t discoveries in medical science cf Inte years have boon made by scientists and not by physicians, and it in @ measure acconnts for the ervat value of our remedies, also for the remarkable enccess of all those dectors who ‘@ specialty of one or two diseaaee.” “And you find that yon are curiug as great a number of people us ever before?” “Yes, afar greater uumber, We never gold so much of our medicine as now and never knew of $o many re- markable cures ‘The writer departed after the above int rview, but was greatly impressed, not only. by the sincerity of Mr. ‘Warner, but by the vastness af all he saw. Mr Warner’ medicines are used throughout the ent re leneth and breadth of the land, and we doubt not the result they are effecting are really as wonderfyl as they are related It te be, a _FINANCIAL.
