Dr. lawson-Slr: Having been informed that you
have during the last year past, pres ctbed in your
practice Dr.. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies,
i'll upwards OF fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES udIng Scroula, with great success take
the liberty oil making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such a report from
your own admission of the fact?
1t you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity give ii publicity
as much as possible; and, if false, we should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition
Dr. 5. also challenges investigation as to the electro
galvanlc symptoms. Please inform me il you, in your
practice detect diseases by this method OF examination
Respectfully, B. W.
Dear Sir: -FOUR communicate of the 23d inst. was
duly received, and an answer should more promptly
have been given but for the want OF leisure hour and
doubt resting on my mind in regard to the propriey
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, so much influences me TO accede to
your WISH, as conviction of the importance of the
lacts which you wish to elicit from me- ard thereby to
dlttuse them more generally through society.
have perfect detestaon of everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
been ge 'erally denominated "quack medicines" and
on this account have always felt decacy in appen-
ding my name or giving my influence to anything
Wnlch may Justly be dubbed with such an appela.
ten.
In the case OF DR.. Sherwoods RENE dies, [ am some.
what renewed from this difficulty, from two considera-
tons: fifst, from The stubborn fact that in nv own
person, derived the most decided beneficial effects
from their use, and at time when all other means
were pronounced as incompetent to cute; and. in the
second place from being myself pretty well acquan-
ed with the composition OF the Remedies"
The 7e two facts will as an apology for me in
candidly expressing my opinion with regard to the me-
dicne. 1t l did not believe that thousands were suf-
nng from diseases lncurabe under any her system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this would
not dare 10 offer word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
medies. Froma conviction OF this kind, hesitate not,
Tor one moment, to recommend them as infinitely SUI
perior, in CHROME diseases, to any 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 con-
sumption they are not so etfectuR would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwood's pamphlet
In almost every other form OF scrofula they have
surpassed my most sangune expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
IN certain cases, OF long standing, which not bene-
hted from any course VIII oh had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard
o';) and their certificates will be OF sufficient variety
too to prove ell that is claimed for them, even by DR..
5. himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
That they are ntabe; that is not my meaning, inn
pres sion, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them 10 be effectua in curing chronic dsea-
SEES as ordinary remedies are in curing the ordinary
diseases OF our climate. Unjust be understood to 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. / detect with the greatest
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scrofua
without any previous knowledge of the patient, or of
the history OF his diseeee 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 or
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 [ deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours &c. B. S. LAWSON.
