CINCINNATI, Jan. %, 1889.
DIR. Lawson-Sr Having been informed that you
practice Dr. Sherwoods Electro- Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards of fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES including Scroua, with great success, take
the liberty OF making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such q report from
your own admission of the fact?
Ii you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause oil humanity to give il publicity
as much as possible; and, if false, should dsabuse
| the public mind OF the imposition.
DR.. S. also challenges investigation, to the electro
gavanic symptoms Please inform me il 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 an answer should more promptly
have been given but for the want OF leisure hour, and
doubt resting on my mind 10 regard 10 the proprety
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, 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 to
dffuse them more generally through society.
have perfect detestaton of everything that has
been presented to the world in the form OF what has
been generally denonIinated "guack medicines, and
this account have always felt delcacy in appen-
ding my name or giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed" with such an appea
ton.
In the case of DR.. Sherwoods Remedies, am some
what relieved from this difficulty, from two considera-
tons: first, from the stubborn TACT that, IN my own
from their USE and at a time when all other means
were pronounced as incompetent to cure and In the
second place. from being myself pretty well acqualnt-
ed with the composition OF the Remedies.
These two facts will serve an apology tor me in
canddy expressing my opinion with regard to the me-
dicine. Ii did not believe that thousands were euf-
ering from diseases incurab.e under any other system
of practice, and certainly durable under this, would
not dare to offer word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
NEEDLES. Froma conviction OF this kind, hesitate not
for moment, to recommend them as infinitely SUI
perior in chronic diseases, to any course at present
known to the medical profession.
did use upwards of fifty boxes during the last year,
and generally with success. l am, however, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not SO etectua 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 sangune expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify TO cures
in certain cases, long standing, which not bene
flied from any course VIII oh 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
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they infabe that is not my meaning, nor i'm
pression concerning anything on this earth; but do
believe them to be eectua in curing chronic dsea-
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, l believe that they
cannot be gansayed l detect, with the greatest
certainty. the diseases called by Dr. Sherwo scrofua
without any previous knowledge of the patient. or of
the history of his disease; and this do merely by
examination of the cervca glands and spinal column
The ordinary 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 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 much as [ deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
