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, 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
dittuse them more generally through society.

been presented to the world in the form of what has
been ge aerally denominated "quack medicines" and

tons: first, from the stubborn fact that, in my
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 well acquaint-
ed with the composition of the Remedies
These two facts will serve as an apology for me in
canddly expressing my opinion with regard to the me-

opinion that in advanced stages Of pulmonary con-

to suppose from reading Dr. Sherwood's pamphlet.
In almost every other form OF scrotula they have
surpassed my most sanguine expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
