Dr. Lawson-Slr: Having been informed that you
have, during the last year past pre-, crbed IN YOUR
practice DR.. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Renee dies,
in upwards OF ty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES inc udng Scroula, with great success take
the liberty oil making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission of the fact?

owe to the cause OF humanity TO give il pubIicv
as much possible; and, if false, we should disabuse
the public mind of the imposition

Respectfully, B. W.
Dear Slr: our communication of the 23d inst. was
duiy received, and an answer should more promptly
have been given but for the OF leisure hour and
doubt resting on my mind In regard to the proprisly
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now so much influences me to accede 10
your wish, as conviction of the importance OF the
facts which you wish to elicit from me- ard thereby to
dltuse them more generally through society.

been presented to the world in the form OF what has

which may justly be dubbed with such an appella.

In the case Of Dr.. Sherwoods Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty from two consders-
tons: hrst, from the stubborn fact that, in my own
person, derived the most decided beneficial effects
from 'helf use, and at time when all other means
were pronounced as incompetent cure; and. IN the
second place, from beng myself pretty we'll acquan-
ed with the composition Of the ''Remedles"
These two tact Will serve as an apology for me in
canddly expressing my opinion with regard to the
djcine If did NOT believe that thousands were suf-
feFns from diseases incurabe under any her system
OF practice, ard certainly durable under this wonId
not dare 70 offer one word in favor OF Sherwoods Re

tor one moment, to recommend them as infinitely SUI
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 | am, however, o! the
opinion that In advanced stages OF pulmonary
sumption they are not so effectual would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwood's pa implicit.
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 bene-
fitted from any course VIII CHI 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 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 are nalbe; that is not my meaning, inn
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be efectua 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 as this, the exception
which was made, and again referred 10.
With regard to the symptoms, believe that they
cannot be gainsayed l can detect, with the greatest
certainty. the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scroula,
without any previous knowledge OF the patient, of
the history of his disease; and this do merely by
examination of the cefvica glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking 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 a bundled cases. In my practice,
pursue this mode of examination exclusively, with a
great saving OF time, and much more sasiactoryre-
suit. This IS as much deem it now necessary to
communicate Yours, &c. B. S. LAWSON.
