Dear Sir: Y our 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 my mind i'll regard the propriety
| of noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, so much influences me to accede TO
your wish, conviction of the importance of the
facts which you wish to elicit from me, and thereby to
| diffuse them more generally through society.
I have perfect detestaion OF everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
been generally denomlnated "quack medicines" and
this account have always felt delicacy in appen
ding my name or giving my influence to anything

In the case of Dr. Sherwood Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two considera-
tons: hIs from the stubborn TACT that, in my
person, derived the decided beneficial effects
| from their use, and at time when all other
were pronounced as incompetent cure; and, in the
second place, from being myself pretty well acquain
| ed with the composition of the "Remedes.''
| These two facts will serve apology for me in
eaady dd my opinion win regard to the me
ferng from diseases incurabe under any other system
of practice, and certainly durable under this would
not dare to offer one word in favor Of Sherwood's Re
NEEDLES. Froma conviction of this kind, hesitate not,
tor one moment, to recommend them as infinitely su-
peror, in chronic diseases, to any course at present
known to the medical profession.

In almost every other form of scrofuIa they have

many citizens or 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 cases you know everything is tried that is heard
of ana their certificates will be OF sufficient variety,
too; to prove all that claimed for them, by Dr.

l do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they are inallbe; that is not my meaning

believe them TO be eectua in curing chronic disea-

which was made, and again referred to.
