From The Cincinnati Wing,
The following correspondence has been handed to
US Tor publications in the belief that it will interest as
well as benefit the community. DR.. Lawson, who
tines to the value and efficacy of DR.. Sherwoods Re-
medes Is regular graduate of the Ohio Medical Col.
lege, and PHYSICAL OF good standing. We have,

For the Daily Wing
CINCINNATI, Jan. %, 1882
DR.. Lswson-Sr: Having been informed that YOU
have, during the last year past, pres cbed in your
practice Dr.. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
i'll upwards OF hty cases. all OF which were CHRONIC
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 own admission of the fact?
1t you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity give il publicity
much as possible; and if false, we should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
DR.. S. also challenges investigation, as to the electro
gavanc 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 answer should more promptly
have been given but tor the want OF leisure hour, and
doubt resting my mind in regard 10 the propre,y
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, ard thereby to
diftuse them more generally through society.
have perfect deesaiion OF everything that has
been presented to the world in the form oil what has
been ge nernlly denomnated "quaek Medicines and
on this account have always felt delicacy in appen-
ding my name or giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed" with such appella
tion
In the case of DR.. Sherwood s Remedies. am some
what relieved from this difficulty, from two consideru
tions 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 acquaint-
ed with the composition of the Remedies"
These two facts will serve as an apology for in
candldy expressing my opinion with regard to the
dcine 1t did not believe that thousands were suf
erng from diseases ncurabie under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this, would
not dare TO otter word in favor 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. ..-..

and generally with success. L am, however, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages Of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not SO eectual as would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwoods pa implicit.
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 you know everything tried that is heard
OFF, 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 nfalibe; that is not my meaning, i'm.
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be eecual in curing chronic disea
as ordinary remedies in curing the ordinary
diseases of our climate. Unjust be understood to have
in view, in such declaration this the exception
which made, and again referred to.
With regard to the symptoms, believe that they
cannot be gainsayed. can detect with the greatest
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood crofula
without any previous knowledge of the patient, or of
the history of his disease; and this do merely by an
examination of the ceryical glands and spinal column.
The ordinary 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 skilled in this mode of examination can be
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice,
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with a
great saving OF time and much satisfactory re-
suit. This is much as deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
