DR.. Lawsen-Sir: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past prescribed in your
practice Dr. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards of fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scroula, with great success, take
the liberty oil making the inquiry OF you whether my
informant justified in making such report from
your own admission OF the fact?
Ii you confirm this report should consider it duty
to The cause OF humanity TO give il publicity
as much as possible; and, it false should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition
Dr. 5 also challenges investigation, as to the electro
gavanc symptoms Please inform me il you in your
practice, detect diseases by this method Of examination
Respectfully, B. w.
Dear Sir: Your communication of the 23d inst was
duly received, and an answer should more promptly
have been given but for the want OF leisure hour, and
doubt resting my mind in regard to the proprety
OF noticing anonymous letters
Nothing, now, so much influences me to accede to
your wish, as conviction of the importance of the
facts which you wish to elicit from me, and thereby to
ditfuse them more generally through society.

In the case OF Dr. Sherwood's Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two considera-
tons: first, from the stubborn fact that, in my own
person. derived the most decided beneficial effects
from their use, and at time when all other
were pronounced as incompetent to cure and, in the
second place, from being myself pretty well acquaint-
ed with the composition Of the "Rcmedies'
These two facts will serve apology for me in

opinion that in advanced stages Of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not so efectual would be led
to suppose from reading Dr. Sherwoods pamphlet.
In almost every other form of scrofua they have
surpassed my most sanguine expectations There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
in certain cases, OF long standing, which not bene-

With regard to the symptoms, believe that they

certainty, the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scroula,
without any previous knowledge of the patient, of
the history of his disease and this do merely by an
examination of the cervcal glands and spinal column

that one skilled in this mode of examination be
