CINCINNATI, Jan. %, 1885,
- IT, iLaWson[olr; Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past, prescribed in your
practice Dr. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies.
In upwards OF fifty cases. all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scroiua, with great success, take
!ne noerly OF making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission of the fact2
you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the OF humanity to give II publiciv
as much as possble and if false we should disabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
Dr. s. also challenges investigation as to the electro
galvanc 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

facts which you wish to elicit from me- and thereby to
dltfuse them more generally through society,"

person, derived the most decided beneficial effects
from their use, and at time when all other means
were pronounced as incompetent to cure and, in the
second place, from being myself pretty we'll acquan-

These two facts will serve as an apology for me in
canddy expressing my opinion with regard to the me-

opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not so eectua would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwood's pamphlet.
In almost every other form of scrofuIa they have
surpassed my most sanguine expectations. There are
many citizens of Cincinnati who will certify to cures

these cases you know everything is tried that is heard

With regard to the symptoms, believe that they

certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scrofula
without any previous knowledge of the patient or of
the history Of his disease; and this do merely by an
examination of the cefsica glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling the pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more or
less, is both useless and waste 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
great saving of time, and much more satisfactory re-
suit. This is as much as 1 deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
