Dear Sir: Your communication of the 23d inst was
duly received, and 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

ton.
Ia the case OF Dr.. Sherwood's Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from considera-
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
were pronounced as incompetent cure; and. in the
second place, from being myself pretty well acquaint-
ed with the composition of the ''Remedes.''
These two facts will serve an apology for me in
canddly expressing my opinion with regard the me-
dcine. II did not believe that thousands were auf-
ferng from diseases ncurabe under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this would
not dare to offer one word in favor Of Sherwoods Re
medies Ffoma conviction of this kind, hesitate not,
tor one moment, to recommend them as infinitely
peror, in chronic diseases, any course 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 so effecual as one would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwood's pamphlet.
In almost every other form OF scrofula they have
surpassed my most sanguine expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
IN certain cases, long standing which not bene
fitted from any course VIII oh 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 thatis claimed for them even by DR..
s. himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they are infable that is my meaning nor inn
preston, concerning anything on this earth; but do
believe them to be eectual in curing chronic disea
ses 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. 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 cervical glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse looking at
the tongue and asking a hundred questions, more or
less, is both useless and of time. do not think
that one skilled in this mode of examination can be
deceived once in hundred cases. Ia my practice,
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with
great saving of tme and much more satisiactoryre
suit. This is much deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. s. LAWSON.
