informant justified in making such leport from
your own admission of the fact?

as much as possible; and, if false we should disabuse

Respectfully, B. w.
Dear Sir: Your communication of the 23d inst was
duly received, and an answer should more promntlv
have been given but tor the want of leisure hour and
doubt resting on 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, ard thereby to
dlftase them more generally through society.

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

and generally with success. | am, however, of the
opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not so etieclus would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwoods pamphlet.
In almost every other form OF scrofua 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 which had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard

too to prove all that is claimed for them, by DR..

above.

believe them to be effectuain curing chronic dsea-

With regard to the symptoms, believe that they

without any previous knowledge OF the patient or of
the history of his disease; and this do merely by an
examination OF the ceryica glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course of feeling he pulse, locking 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 hundred cases. ln my practice, |
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with
great saving of time, and much more aatisaetoryre-
suit. This is as much deem it now necessary to
