Dr. ilaWson-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 ii ty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including ScrofuIa with great success take
me lloery OF making the inquiry Of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission of the feet?
you confirm this report should consider duty
we owe to Inc cause Of hum lnty to give il publicity
as much as possible; and, il false we should disahuse
the public mind of the imposition
pr. oaso challenges investigation, as to the electro
galvanlc symptoms. Please inform me if YOU. in your
pfacce' deef diseases by this method OF examination
Respectfully, B. w.
Dear Sir Your communication 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 proprety
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, so much influences me to accede to
your wish, as conviction of the importance of the
facts which you wish to elicit from me- ard thereby to
dlffuse them more generally through society,"
have perfect detestalon Of everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
on this account have always ett delicacy in appen-
ding my name or giving MY influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed with such an appella
ton.

what relieved from this difficulty, from two consdera-
tons. first, from the stubborn TACT that in my own
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 well acquan-
ed with the composition Of the Remedies
These two facts will serve as an apology for me in
candldy expressing my opinion with regard to the me-
dicne. Ii did not believe that thousands were suf-
ferlng from diseases incurable under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this, would
not dare to 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 chronic diseases to any at 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 efecual one would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwoods pamphlet
In almost every other form OF scrofula they have
surpassed my most sangulne expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
III ceal cases, OF long standlng, which were not bene
fitted from any course which had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard
OFF, and their certificates will be of sufficient variety
too, to prove all that is claimed for them even by Dr..
S. himself, with the single exception have made

do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they are nfalibe; that is my meaning nor
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be eectua in curing chronic dsea-
ses as ordinary remedies are in curing the ordinary
diseases of our climate. Unjust be understood have
in view, in such declaration as 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 .crofua
without any previous knowledge of the patient or of
the history OF his disease; and this do merely by an
examination Of the cefvica glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling The pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking a hundred questions more or
less both useless and waste of time do not think
that one skilled in this mode of examination be
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with a
great saving OF time and much more satisfactory
suit. This is as much as deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. BIS. LAWSON.
