ing the following correspondence would be OF interest
and value to this community, have copied from the

From the Cincinnati Wing.
The following correspondence has been handed to
for Duhipaton The belief that IL will interest

titles to the value and efficacy Of DR., Sherwood's Re-
medes, Is regular graduate of the Ohio Medical Col

ourselt made trial OF the remedies, and think we de-
rived essential benefit from them.

CINCINNATI, Jan. %, 1882
Dr. Lawson-Sir Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past, prescribed in your
practice Dr. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards OF fifty cases, all OF which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scroula with great success, take
the liberty OF making the inquiry of you whether my
informant justified in making such q report from
your admission of the fact?
Ii you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity TO give il publicity
as much as possible; and, if false, we should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
DR.. Saso challenges investigation, as to the electro.
galvanic 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

doubt resting on my mind in regard to the proprety
OF noticing anonymous letters
Nothing, now, much influences me to accede TO ,
your wish, as conviction of the importance of the
facts which you wish to elicit from me, and thereby to
ditfuse them more generally through society.
have perfect detestaon OF everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
been generally denominated "quack medicines" and
on this account have always felt deicacy 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
person, derived the most decided beneficial effects
from their use, and at time wheri 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 apology for rue in
candidly expressing my opinion with regard to the
dcine. 1t did not believe that thousands suf-
ering from diseases incurabie under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this, would
not dare to offer one word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
NEEDLES. Froma conviction of this kind, hesitate net
for one moment, to recommend them as infinitely SUI
peror, in chronic Diseases to any present

and generally with success. | am, however, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages OF pulmonary con-
sumption they not so ehecual would be led
to suppose from reading Dr.. Sherwood's pamphlet. &,
In almost every other form OF scroina they have
surpassed my most sangulne expectations. There
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify TO
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 and their certificates will be OF sufficient variety,
too to prove all thatis claimed for them, by Dr.
5. himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they are infable; that is not my meaning nor i'm
preston, concerning anything on this earth; but do
believe them to be eectualn curing chronic disea-
SEES as ordinary remedies in curing the ordinary
diseases OF our climate must be understood to have
in view in such declaration this, the exception
which was made and again referred to.
With regard to the symptoms L believe that they
cannot be gainsayed can detect with the greatest
without any previous knowledge Of the patient or of
the history of his disease; and this do merely by
examination OF the cefvical glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more OF
less is both useless and of time do 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 satisiactoryre
suit. This is as mqch as deem i now Necessary to
