DR.. SHERWOODs MAGNETIC REMEDIES.
From the Cincinnati Whg.
The following correspondence has been handed to
for publication, in the belief that it will interest
well as benefit the community. Dr.. Lawson, who tes-
titles to the value and efficacy Of DR.. Sherwoods Re-
NEEDLES, is regular graduate of the Ohio Medical COL
lege, and physical of good standing. We have,
ourse made trial Of The remedies, and think de-
rived essential benefit from them.
For the Daily Wing.
CINCINNATI, Jan. %, 1889.
DR. l.awson-Sir: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past prescribed in your
in upwards of fifty cases. all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scrofula, with great success, take
the liberty OF making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your admission of the fact?
Ii you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity to give il publicity
as much as possible; and if false, should dsabuse
the public mind OF the imposition.
DR.. S. also challenges investigation, to the electro.
gayanc symptoms. Please inform me if 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 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- and thereby 10
dlttuSe them generally thfOuoh society,"
have perfect detesalion Of everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
been generally denominated "quack medicines" and
this account have always felt delicacy in appen-
ding my name or giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed with such an appea.
ton.
In the case OF Dr. Sherwood S Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two considera-
uons 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
pronounced as incompetent cure; and in the
second place, from being myself pretty we'll acquaint
ed with the composition of the "Remedes"
These two facts will serve as an apology for me 10
candidy expressing my opinion with regard TO the
dicne. Ii did not believe that thousands were suf-
fering from diseases ncurabe under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this, L would
not dare to offer one word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
medies. Ffoma conviction of this kind, hesitate not
Tor one moment, to recommend them infinitely SUI
perior in chronic diseases to any 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 eecual 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 not bene-
fitted from any course which had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that 10 heard
oi;) and their certificates will be of sufficient variety,
too to prove all that is claimed for Them even by Dr.
S. himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they inalibe; that is not meaning nor im-
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be efecual in curing chronic disea-
SEES 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 was made, and again referred to.
With regard to the symptoms, believe that they
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scroua,
without any previous knowledge of the patient or of
the history of his disease and this do merely by an
examination OF The cefvcal glands and spinal column.
The ordinary OF feeling the pulse, looking ct
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more or
ess, 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 mr. practice
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with
great saving of time, and much more satisfactory re-
suit. This is much deem il now necessary to
communicate Yours &c. B. S. LAWSON.
