ing the following correspondence would be OF interest
and value to this community, have copied it from the
DR.. SHERWOOD's MAGNETIC REMEDIES.
From The Cincinnati Wing.
The following correspondence has been handed to
US for publication in the belief that it will interest
well as benefit the community. DR.. lawson who tes-
titles to the value and efficacy of Dr. Sherwood's Re-
medies is regular graduate of the Ohio Medical Col.
iege, and physician OF good standing. We have,
oursef, made trial of the remedies, and think we de-
rived essential benefit from them.
For the Daily Wing.

DR.. IIawson-Sir: Having been informed that you
have, during the last past, prescribed in your
practice DR.. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies
in upwards of fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scroula, with great success, take
the liberty oil making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your admission OF the fact?
II you confirm this report, should consider it duty
owe to the cause OF humanity to give il publicity
much as possible; and, if false we should disabuse
the public mind OF the imposition
Dr. S. also challenges investigations as to the electro
galvanic symptoms. Please inform me it you, in your
PRACTICE detect diseases by this method of examination.
Respectfully, B. w.
Dear Sir: Your communication of the 23d inst. was
duly received, and should promptly
have been given but for the want of leisure hour, and
doubt resting my mind in regard to the propriety
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, and thereby
diffuse them generally through society.

been presented to the world in The form OF what has
been generally denomnated "quack medicines" and

In the case of Dr. Sherwood s Remedies am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two consdera
tons: first from the stubborn fact that in my
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 acquaint
ed with the composition of the "Remedies.'
These two facts will serve apology for me in
candidy expressing my opinion with regard to the
dicne. 1t did not believe that thousands suf-
fering from diseases ncurab!e under any other system

for one moment, to recommend them as infinitely SUI

and generally with success. | am. however OF the
opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary
sumption they not so efectual would be led
to suppose from reading Dir. Sherwood's 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
in certain cases, OF long standing which were not bene
fitted from any course which had been pursued, land in
these you know everything is tried that is heard
OFF, and their certificates will be OF sufficient variety,
too, prove all that is claimed for them even by Dr..
S. himself, with the single exception have made

certainty. the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scrofua,
without any previous knowledge of the patient, or of
the history of his disease; and this | do merely by
examination OF the cervical glands and spinal column.
The ordinary OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more or
less, is both useless and waste of time do not think
that one skilled in this mode of examination can be
deceived once in bundled cases. In my practice, l

great saving OF time, and much more satisfactory
