DIR. sHERWOODs MAGNETIC REMEDIES.
From The Cincinnati Wing.
ne following correspondence has been handed TO
US tor publication, in the belief that it will interest as
well as benefit the community. DR.. Lawson, wfotes-
Tines to the value and efficacy OF Dr. Sherwoods Re-
medIos, is regular graduate OF the Ohio Medical Col
lege, and a physician OF good standing We have,
curse /, made trial OF the remedies and think we de-
rived essential benefit from them.
For the Daily Wing.
CINCINNATI, Jan. %, 1889.
DR.. Lawson-Sir: Having been Informed that you
have, during the last year past pre-. crbed in your
practice Dr. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
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 a report from
your own admission OF the fact?
1t you confirm this report, should consider it duty

as much as possbIe and, false, should disabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
Pr s. also challenges investis as to the electro
gavanc symptoms. Please inform me il 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 OF leisure hour and
DOUBT resting on my mind in regard TO the propriey
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, so much influences ME to accedeGo

facts which youw to elicit from me, and thereby to
dlftuse them more generally through society.

ton.
In the case of Dr. Sherwood Remedies, I am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two considera-
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 as incompetent to cure; and in the
second place, from being myself pretty well acquant-
ed with the composition Of the "Remedies."
These two facts will serve apology for me ia
candidly eApressingm my opinion with regard to the
dicne 1t did not believe that thousands we're suf-
fering from diseases ncnrabe under any her system

did use upwards of fifty boxes during the last year,
and generally with success. l 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 scrotula they have
surpassed my most sanguine expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati VINO will certify to
IN certain cases, OF long standing which not bene
fitted from any VIII Oh had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard
oil and their certificates will be of sufficient variety,
too to prove all that is claimed for them, by Dr.
s. himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they are infalibe; that is not my meaning m-
PRESTON concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be as eiecua in curing chronic dsea
ses as ordinary remedies are in curing the ordinary
diseases OF our climate. Unjust be understood to have
in vew in such declaration as this, the exception
which 1I;il was made, and again referred TO-.
With regard to the symptoms, | believe that they
cannot be galnsayed. detect, with the greatest
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scrouIa
without any previous knowledge OF the patient or of
the history OF his diseases and this do merely by an
examination OF the cerycal glands and spinal column
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more or
less is both useless and of time. do not think
that one skilled in this mode OF examination can be
deceived once in q hundred cases. In my practice, |
pursue this mode OF examination exclusively, with
great saving OF time and much more satsiactoryre
suit. This is as much as deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
