DIR. 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 as
well as benefit the community. DR.. Lawson who tes-
titles to the value and efficacy Of DR.. Sherwoods Re-
medes is regular graduate of the Ohio Medical Col
ege, and physician OF good standing. We have,
ourself made trial OF the remedies, and think we de-
rived essential benefit from them.

Dr. Lawson-Sr: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past, prescribed in your
practice DR.. Sherwood's Electro Magnetic Remedies,
in upwards of fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
including Scroiua, with great success, take
the liberty OF making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission of the fact?
Ii you confirm this report, should consider it duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity TO give publicity
as much as possible; and, false, should dsabuse
the public mind of the imposition.
DIR. S. also challenges investigation, as to the electro.
gavanc 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 in regard the proprety
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now, so much influences me 10 accede to
your wish, as conviction Of the importance OF the
facts which you wish to elicit from me, and thereby to
dlffuse them more generally through society
have perfect detestailon OF everything that has
been presented TO the world in the form of what has
been generally denomnated "quack medicines and
on this account have always felt delieacy 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.. Sherwood S Remedies am some,
what relieved from this difficulty, from two 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 to cure; and in the
second place, from being myself pretty we'll acquaint
ed with the composition OF the "Remedies.''
These two facts will serve as an apology for me in
canddly expressing my opinion with regard TO the me-
dlcine Ii did not believe that thousands were suf-
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 Sherwood's Re
NEEDLES. Froma conviction of this kind, hesitate not,
TOR one moment to recommend them as infinitely ST.
peror 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. 7 am, however, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages Of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not so efecual would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwood's pamphlet.
In almost every other form OF scrofuia they have
surpassed my most sanguine expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
in certain cases. of long standing, which bene-
fitted from any course which had been pursued, land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard
Off and their certificates will be of sufficient variety,

above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea
that they inalibe; that is my nearing nor im
preston, concerning anything On this earth; but do
believe them TO be etfecual in curing chronic dsea-
ses as ordinary remedies in curing the ordinary
diseases OF our climate. must be understood TO have

which was made, and again referred to.

certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scrofua
without any previous knowledge of the patient o,
and Il b.,o
examination OF the cefvcal glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse. looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions,
less, Is both useless and waste of time. do think
that one 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 satisfactory re-
suit. This is as much as deem it now necessary to
communicate. Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
