Dr. Lawson-Sir: Having been informed that YOU
practice DR.. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards of fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scrofua, with great success, take
the liberty OF making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission OF the fact?
If you confirm this report should consider it duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity TO give publicity
much possible; and, if false, we should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
Dr. 5. also challenges investigation, to the electro.

practice, detect diseases by this method OF examination

many citizens of Cincinnati who will certify to cures
