DR. l4awson--Slr: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past :cribed in your
practice DR.. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards of Fl ty cases, all of which CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scroiua, with great success take
the liberty Of making the Inquiry OF you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission of the fact?
If you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause oil humanity to give il publicity
much as possible; and, false, Should QlSaOU5o
the public mind of the imposition.
Dr. S.aso chal enges investigation 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 93d inst. was
duly received, and an answer should more promptly
have been given but Tor the want OF leisure hour and
doubt resting my mind in regard to the propriety
OF noticing anonymous letters.

been presented TO the world in the form OF what has
been &c orally denominaed "quack medicines" and
this account have always ielt deiicacy in appen
ding my name or giving my influence to anything
which may Justly De "dubhed' with such an appella-
ton.
In the case of Dr. Sherwood Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two eonsidera
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 other means
pronounced ncompe q cure; and, in the
second place, from being myself pretty we'll acquaint-
ed with the composition OF the ''Remedies.'
These two facts will serve apology for me in
canddy expressing my opinion with regard to the
dicne 1t did not believe that thousands were suf
iering from diseases incurabe under any her system
OF practice, aud certainly durable under this would
not dare offer one word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
medies. From conviction Of this kind, hesitate not,
for one moment, to recommend them as infinitely
peror in chronic diseases, to any course at present

did upwards of fifty boxes during the last year,
and generally with success. | am yer, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not so effecua as one would be led
to suppose from reading Dr.. Sherwood's pamphlet.
In almost every other form OF scrofnla they have
surpassed my most sangune expectations. There

all that claimed tor them nv Dr.
s. bimself, with the single exception have made
above.
| do not wish to he understood to convey the idea
that they are nalibe; that is not my meaning, nor inn
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them be etiectua in curing chronic dsea

diseases of climate Unjust be understood have
in view in such 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 scroua
without any previous Knowledge OF the patient or of
the history OF his disease; and This do merely by an
examination OF The cefvical glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more
less IS both useless anda waste OF tme do not think
that one skilled in this mode Of examination be
deceived once in a hundred cases. In my practice,
pursue this mode OF examination exclusively, with a
great saving OF time, and much more satlsactoryre-
suit. This is much as deem it now necessary to
communicate Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
