From the Cincinnati Wing
The following correspondence has been handed to
us for publication, in the belief that it will interest as
well as benefit the community. Dr. Lawson, whotes-
titles to the value and efficacy OF Dr. Sherwoods Re-
medes, is regular graduate of the Ohio Medical Co..
ege, and physieiah OF good Standing. we have
ourseEf made trial of the remedies, and think de-
rived essential benefit from them.
For the Daily Wing.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 49, 1889.
Dr. Lawson-Sir: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past prescribed in your
practice Dr. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards of fifty cases, all OF which CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scgofna, with great success take
the liberty oil making the inquiry OF You whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your admission of the fact?
1t you confirm this report, should consider it deity
we owe to the cause OF humanity to give il publicity
much as possible; and false, should disabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
Dr. 5. also challenges lnvestlgaOn as to the electro
galvanic symptoms. Please inform me ii 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 answer should more promptly
have been given but for the OF leisure hour and
doubt resting on ny mind in regard 10 the propreiy
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, SO much influences to accede to
your WISH as conviction Of the Importance OF the
facts which you wish to elicit from me- and thereby
dtfuse them more generally through society.
have perfect detesalioa OF everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
been generally denominated "qUack medicines and
on this account have always felt delcacy appen-
ding my name or giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed with such an appella-
ton.
what relieved from this difficulty, from consdera
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 az ncOmpe tent to cure; and, in the
second place, from being myself pretty well acquan
ed with the composition of the "Eemedies."
These two facts will apology for me in
canddly expressing my opinion with regard to the
dcine. 1t did not believe that thousands were suf
terng from diseases incurabe under any oher system
of practice, ard certainly durable under this would
not dare to otter one word III taVor OF Sherwoods Re
NEEDLES. Froma conviction Of this kind, hesitate not,
tor one moment, to recommend them as infinitely SUI
peror 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 effectual would be led
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
in certain cases, OF long standing, which not bene
fitted from any course which had been pursued land in
these you know everything is tried that is heard
off, and their certificates will be of sufficient variety
too to prove all that is claimed for hem by DR..
S. himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they ntalibe; that is not my meaning, inn
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be etectua in curing chronic dsea
ses ordinary remedies in curing the ordinary
diseases OF our climate must 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 galnsayed can 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 disease; and this do merely by an
examination of the cefvca glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions more or
less both useless and waste OF time. do think
that one skilled in this mode OF examination be
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice, |
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with
great saving OF time, and much more satisfactorily re-
suit. This is much as | deem il necessary 10
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
