For the Daily Wing.
CINCINNATI, Jan. %, 1889.
DR., Lawson-Sr: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past, pre- crbed in your
practice d.. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards Of ii y cases all OF which were CHRONIC
including Scrofula 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?
Ii you confirm this report should consider 1t duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity to give II publicity
much possible; and if false, we should disabuse
the public mind OF the imposition.
DR.. 5. also cha enges investigation, as to the electro
galvanic symptoms. Please inform me if you, in your
practice, detect diseases by this method OF examinations
Respectfully. B. w.
Dear Sir: Your communication of the 23d inst. was
duly received, and answer should more promptly
have been given but for the want OF leisure hour and
doubt resting on my mind in regard to the proprisy
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, much influences to accede to
your wish, conviction of the importance OF the
facts which you wish to elicit from me, ard thereby to
diffuse them more generally through society.
have perfect detestaion OF everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
been ge orally denominated "qoack medicines" and
this account have always ielt delicacy in appen-
ding my name giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed with such an appella-
ton
In the case OF DR.. Sherwood's Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two considera
tions first, from The stubborn fact that, in my own
from their use, and at a time when all other means
pronounced az Incompetent to cure; and in the
second place, from beng myself pretty well acquaint-
ed with the composition OF the f'Remedes.'
These two facts will serve an apology for me in
candidy expressing my opinion with regard to the
dicne Ii did not believe that thousands were suf-
fering from diseases incurabe under any her system
of practice, and certainly durable under this would
not dare to offer word in favor Of Sherwoods Re
NEEDLES. Froma conviction of this kind, hesitate not,
for moment, to recommend them as Infinitely SUI

did upwards Of fifty boxes during the last year,
and generally with success. | am, however, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary
sumption they not SO effeclua would be led
to suppose from reading Dr. Sherwoods pamphlet
In almost every other form OF scrotula they have
surpassed my most sangune expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
in certain cases. OF long standing, which were not bene-
fitted from any VIII oh had been pursued, land in
these you know everything is tried that heard
ot;) and their certificates will be of sufficient variety

S. himself with the nge exception have made

| do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they inalibe that is not my meaning, nor im-
preston, concerning anything on this earh but do
believe them to be effectua in curing chronic dsea-
as ordinary remedies are in curing the ordinary
diseases of our climate. Unjust be understood to have
in view, in such declaration as this, the exception
which was made, and again referred to.
With regard to the symptoms, believe that they
cannot be gansayed. can detect, with the greatest
without any previous knowledge OF the patient, of
the history OF his disease and this do merely by
examination OF the cefvcal glands and spinal column.
The ordinary OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more
less, is both useless and waste OF time. do not think
that one skilled in this mode OF examination can be
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice,
pursue this mode OF examination exclusively, with
great saving OF time, and much more satisfactory
suit. This is as much as deem il necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
