DR.. Lawson-Sir: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past prescribed in your
practice DR.. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards OF fifty cases, all Of which CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scrotua, with great success take
the liberty oil making the inquiry OF you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission OF the fact?

the public mind OF the imposition.
Dr. S. also challenges investigation, as TO the electro
galvanic symptoms. Please inform me you, in your

Dear Sir: Your communication of the 23d inst. was
duly received, and an answer should more promptly
have been given but for the OF leisure hour and
doubt resting on my mind in regard to the propriety
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, much influences TO accede 10
your wish, as conviction of the Importance OF the
facts which you wish to elicit from me, and thereby
difuse them more generally through society.
have perfect detestation OF everything that has
been presented 10 the world in the form OF what has
been generally denominaed "quack medicines" and

which may justly be "dubbed' with such an appella-

what relieved from this difficulty, from TWO considera-
tons: first, from the stubborn fact that, i'll my own
person, derived the most decided beneficial effects
from their use. and at time when all other means
pronounced as incompetent to cure; and in the
second place, from being myself pretty well acqualnt-
ed with the composition OF the "Remedes'
These two facts will serve apology for me in
canddly expressing my opinion with regard TO the me-
dcine Ii did not believe that thousands were SUI

and generally with success. am, however, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary
sumption they not so etiectual would be led
to suppose from reading Dr.. Sherwood's pamphlet
In almost every other form OF scroula they have
| surpassed my most saneune expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
in certain cases, Of long standing, which not bene
fitted from any course which had been pursued, (and in
these you know everything is tried that is heard
ot and their certificates will be of sufficient variety,
too to prove all that is claimed for hen hy DR..
S. bimself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they nallbe; that is not my meaning, nor inns
preston, concerning anything on this earh but do
believe them be efiectua in curing chronic dsea-
as ordinary remedies are in curing the ordinary
diseases of climate Unjust be understood to have
in view in such declaration this the exception
which made, and again referred to.
With regard to the symptoms, believe that they
cannot be gainsayed detect, with the greatest
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scrotua
without any previous knowledge OF the patient, or of
the history of his disease; and this do merely by an
examination OF the cervca glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more
less is both useless and waste of time. do think
that one skilled in this mode of examination be
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice, |
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with a
great saving OF time, and much sasiactoryre-
suit. This is as much as deem i now necessary to
comm4nic cal Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
We are regularly supplied with these well known
medicines OF Dr. Sherwood having been for several
years the agents for their sale in Richmond
and also for the Electro Magnetic Machines of DR..
Sherwood.
