DIR. SHERWOODS MAGNETIC REMEDIES.
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, who tes-
hss to the value and efficacy OF DR.. Sherwoods Re-
medes is regular graduate OF the Ohio Medical Col
ege and physiciaa of good standing. We have,
ourse, made rial of The renled es, and think de-
rived essential benefit from them.
For the Daily Wing.
CINCnNATI, Jan. %, 1889.
Dr. Lawson-Sr: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past, prescribed in your
practice DR.. Sherwoods Intercollegiate Remedies,
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 fact2
II you confirm this report should consider it duty
owe to the cause OF humanity to give il publicity
much possible; and il false, we should disabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
Dr. $. also challenges investigations as to the electro
galvanic 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 want Of leisure hour and
doubt resting on my mind in regard to the proprlety
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 ard thereby to
ditfuse them more generally through society.
| have perfect detestaton OF everything that has
been presented TO the world in the form OF what has
been generally denomnated "q1ack medicines, and
this account have always elt deIicacy 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-
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 ether means
pronounced as incompetent to cure; and in the
second place, from being myself pretty well acquaint
ed with the composition of the "Remedes"
These two facts Will serve as apology for me in
candidy expressing my opinion with regard to the me-
dlcne. Ii did not believe that thousands were sui
fering from diseases ncurabe under any oher system
of practice, aud certainly durable under this, would
not dare to offer word 10 favor OF Sherwoods Re
NEEDLES. Ffoma conviction of tn kind, hesitate not
for moment, to recommend them as Infinitely SUI
perior 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 not so eectua as one would be led
to suppose from reading Dr.. SherWood's pa implicit.
In almost every other form OF scrotua they have
surpassed my most sangune expectations There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to
in certain cases, long standing, which not bene
flied from any course VIII oh had been pursued land in
these cases you know every thing IS tried that IS heard
o and their certificates will be OF sufficient variety,
too to prove all that is claimed for them, by DR..
). hmseli, 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 nor i'm
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them TO be et1ectua in curing chronic disea
as ordinary remedies in curing the ordinary
diseases of our climate. Unjust be understood to have
in view, in such a declaration this, the exception
which was 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 scroula
without any previous knowledge OF the patient or OF
the history OF his disease; and this do merely by an
examination OF the cervca glands and Spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling the pulse, looking at
the tongue; and asking hundred questions, more or
less, 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 my practice, |
pursue this mode Of examination exclusively with a
great saving OF time, and much more satisfactory
suit. This is as much as deem it now necessary to
communicate Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
