Dr. i.awson-Sr: Having been informed that you,
have, during the last year past, pres cribed in your
practice DR.. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies
in upwards of fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scrofula with great success TAX

informant was justified in making such report FROM
your own admission of the fact?

we owe to the cause OF humanity to give ii publicity
as much as possible; and if false we should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
DR.. S. also challenges investigation as to the electro.
galvanic symptoms. Please inform me if you, in your
pracllce detect diseases by this method of examination.

In almost every other form of scrofula they have

many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures

that one skilled in this mode of examination can be
