From the Cincinnati Wing.
The following correspondence has been handed to
us for publication, in the belief that it will interest as
well as benefit the community. DR.. Lawson, who tes-

For the Daily Wing.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 90 1889.
Dr. Lawson-Sir: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past pres crbed in your
practice DR.. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards OF fifty cases, all of which CHRONIC
including Scrofua, with great success take
the liberty oil making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from

as much as possble and, false, should disabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
DIR. s. also challenges investigation, to the electro
galvanic symptoms. Please inform me 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 answer should more promptly
have been given but for the want of leisure hour and
doubt resting my mind in regard to the propriey
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 elicit from me, ard thereby
difiuse them more generally through society.
have perfect deestalion OF everything that has
been presented to the world in the form of what has
been generally denominated "quack medicines" and
on this account have always felt delcacy in appen-
ding my name Or giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed with such appella-
ton.
In the case OF Dr.. Sherwood Is Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from consdera-
tons: first, from The stubborn fact that in my own
from their USE and at time when all other means
pronounced as incompetent to a cure; and. in the
second place. from being myself pretty well acquan'-
ed with the composition OF the "Remedies.'
These two facts will serve an apology for me in
candidly expressing my opinion with regard to the me-
dcine. II did not believe that thousands were cuff
erng from diseases ncurabie under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this would
not dare to offer one word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
needles From conviction of this kind, hesitate not.
tor one moment, to recommend them as Infinitely su-
peror, 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
sumption they are not SO effectual as would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwood's pamphlet
In almost every other form OF scrofula they have
surpassed my most sangulne expectations. There
many citizens of Cincinnati who will certify to
in certain cases. OF long standing, which bene-
flied from any 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, to prove all that is claimed for Them by DR..
S. himself, with the single exception have made
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they nfalibe; that is not my meaning, in-
preston, concerning anything on this earh but do
believe them to be eectua in curing chronic dsea-
ses as ordinary remedies are in curing the ordinary
diseases OF 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, detect, with the greatest
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scrofua
without any previous knowledge of the patient, of
the history OF his disease; and this do merely by
examination OF the cefvcal glands and spinal column.
The ordinary OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more
less is both useless and waste OF time. do not think
that skilled in this mode OF examination can be
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice, /
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with a
great saving OF time, and much more sasactoryre-
suit. This is much as [ deem it necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
