DR. I.awson-Sir Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past, pres cribed your
practice Dr. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards OF fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scronla, with great success, take
the liberty oil 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
to the cause OF humanity to give il publicity
as much possible; and, if false we should dsabuse
the public mind OF the imposition.
Dr. S also challenges investigation, as to the electro.
galvanc 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 gwen but tor the want oil leisure hour, and
doubt resting on my mind in regard to the proprety
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing now, so much influences me to accede to
your wish, as conviction of the Importance OF the
acs which you wish to elicit from me, and thereby to
dlftuse them more generally through society
have perfect detestaon OF everything that has
been presented to the world in the form oil what has
been ge 1eraIly denominated "quack medicines" and
on this account have always felt deIicacy in appen-
ding my name or giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed" with such appea-
ton.
In the case of Dr. Sherwood's Remedies. am some.
what relieved from This difficulty, from two considera-
uons hrst, from The stubborn fact that, in my
person. derived the most decided beneficial effects
from their use, and at time when all other means
were pronounced as incompetent cure; and in the
second place, tro bong myself pretty well acquaint-
ed with the composition of the Remedies
These two facts will serve apology for me in
canddy expressing my opinion with regard the me-
dicne 1t did not believe that thousands were suf-
fering from diseases ineqrabe under any other system
OF practice and certainly durable under this would
not dare to offer word in favor of Sherwood's Re
NEEDLES. Froma conviction of this kind, hesitate not
tor one moment to recommend them as infinitely
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 corr
sumption they are not SO efectua would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwoods pamphlet
In almost every other form OF scrofala they have
surpassed my most sangune expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
IN certain cases. oil long standing, which not bene-
fitted from any course whc had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard
of; and their certificates will be of sufficient variety,
too, to prove all that is claimed for hen by DR..

do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they are nalbe; that is not my meaning, im-
preston, concerning anything on this earth; but dc
believe them TO be as effectua in curing chronic dsea

diseases OF our climate Unjust 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, of
The history OF his disease; and this do merely by an
examination OF the cervcal glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more
less, IS both useless and waste of me do not think
that one skilled in this mode of examination can be
deceived once in a hundred cases. In my practice,
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with a
great saving OF time, and much satisactoryre-
suit This is as much as deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
