From The Cincinnati Wing.

For the Daily Wing.
CINCINNATI, Jan. 49, 1889.
DR.. Lawson-Sir Having been informed shat you
have, during the last year past prescribed in your
practice DR.. Sherwoods Electro Magnetic Remedies
in upwards Of fifty cases, all of which were CHRONIC
DISEASES Dis including Seroula 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?
1t you confirm this report should consider it a duty
we owe to the cause OF humanity to give il publicity
"a
the public mind of the imposition.
Dr. s. also challenges investigation as to the electro.
galvanic symptoms. Please inform me if you in your
practice, detect diseases by this method of examination
Respectfully, B. w.
Dear Sir: Your communication of the Esd 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 10 the propriety
OF noticing anonymous letters.
Nothing, now so much influences me to accede to
your CONVICTION nf tho
facts which you wish to elicit from me, and thereby to
dlfuse them more generally through society.
have perfect detestaion of everything that has
been presented to the world in the form of what has
been generally denominated "guack medicines" and
on this account have always felt deicacy in appen-
ding my name giving my influence to ANYTHING
which may justly be dubbed with such an appella-
ton.
In the case Of Dr.. Sherwood Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from two considera~
tons: hfst, 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 well acquaint-
ed with the composition Of the 'Renedes'
These two facts will serve az an apology for ME in
canddly expressing my opinion with regard to the me-
dclne. 1t did not believe that thousands were suf-
ferng from diseases incurabe under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this, would
not dare 10 oifer one word in favor OF Sherwoods Re
medeS Froma conviction ct this kind, hesitate not
Tor one moment, to recommend them infinitely su-
peror, in chronic Diseases 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, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages of pulmonary con-
sumption they are not so eectual would be led
to suppose nom reading DR.. Sherwood's pamphlet
In almost every other form OF scrofula 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 were not bene-
fitted from any course VIII oh had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that is heard
o';' and their certificates will be of sufficient variety,
too, to prove all that's 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 Intable that is not my meaning inn
preston, concerning anything this earth; but do
believe them to be efecual in curing chronic dsea-
SEES as ordinary remedies are in curing the ordinary
diseases Of our climate Unjust be understood 10 have
in view, in such declaration as this, the exception
which was made, and again referred to.
With regard to the symptoms, believe that they
cannot be galnsayed can detect, with the greatest
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scroula
without any previous knowledge OF the patient or of
the history OF his disease and this do merely by an
examination ct the cefVcal glands and spinal column.
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking at
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, more or
less boh useless ana waste of time. do think
that one skilled IN THIS mode OF examination be
deceived once in a hundred cases. In my practice |
pursue this mode OF examination exclusively with
gre at saving OF time, and much satisIactoryre-
suit. This is much as deem it now necessary to
