DR.. SHERWOODS MAGNETIC REMEDIES.
From The Cincinnati Wing.
The following correspondence has been handed to
us for publication in the belief that it will interest
well as benefit the community. Dr.. Lawson, who tes-
tines to the value and efficacy of DR.. Sherwoods Re-
NEEDLES, Is regular graduate OF the Ohio Medical Col
ege, and physical OF good standing, We have,
oursef made trial of the remedies and think we de-
rived essential benefit from them.
For the Daily Wing
CINCINNATI, JAN %, 1889.
Dr. Lawson-Slr: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past, pres crbed in your
practice DR.. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards of fifty cases. all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scroua, 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?
1t you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause oil humanity to give publicity
as much as possble and, false, should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
DE- 8 also challenges investigation, as to the electro.
galvanic symptoms. Please inform if you in your
practice, detect diseases by this method OF examination
Respectfully, B. w.
duly received, and an answer should more promptly
have been given but for the want of leisure hour and
doubt resting on my mind in regard to the proprey
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, ard thereby to
dlffuse them more generally through society,"
have perfect deestation of everything that has
been presented to the world in the form of what has
been generally denomnated "guack medicines" and
this account have always ielt delicacy in appen-
tn with
which may justly be dubbed" with such an appea.
ton.
In the OF DR.. Sherwood q 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 means
were pronounced as incompetent to cure; and in the
second place, from being myself pretty we'll acquaint-
ed with the composition OF the Remedies"
These two facts will serve as an apology for me in
candldy expressing my opinion with regard the me-
d!cne. Ii did not believe that thousands were suf-
tering from diseases ncurabe under any other system
OF practice and certainly durable under this, would
not dare TO offer one word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
medes. 'FRONT.' conviction of this kind, hesitate not
lof one moment, to recommend them as infinitely
perior in chronic diseases to any course at present
known to the medical profession.
DID use upwards OF fifty boxes during the last year,
and generally with success. | am, however Of the
opinion that in advanced stages Of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not so efecual would be led
to suppose from reading Dr. Sherwood's pamphlet
In almost every other form of scrofula 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 were not bene-
MED from any course which had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard
of) and their certificates will be of sufficient variety
too, to prove all that is claimed for them even by Dr.
3 himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convex the idea
that they inalibe; thai is my meaning nor i'm.
preston concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be as eecual curing chronic dsea-
dinDr p1i,1
diseases of our climate Unjust be understood to have
in view, in such declaration this, the exception
which was 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 scrofua
without any previous knowledge of the patient or of
The history OF his diseases and this do merely by an
examination OF the cervcal glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse locking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more or
less is both useless and waste of time do not think
that skilled in this mode Of examination can he
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice !
pursue this mode of examination exclusively with a
great saving OF time, and much satisfactoryre-
suit. This is as much as deem it now necessary to
To B. w.

medicines of DR.. Sherwood, having been for several
years the SOLE agents for their sale in Rich-mond,
