the liberty Of making the inquiry of you whether my
informant was justified in making such report from
your own admission OF the fact!

Respectfully, B. w.
Dear Sir: Your communication of the 23d inst. was
duly received, and an answer should more promptly
have been ven but for the want OF leisure hour and
doubt resting on 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

have perfect deesaiion 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 delicacy in appen-
ding my name giving my influence to anything
which may justly be dubbed with such appela-
ton.
In the of DR.. Sherwood's Remedies, am some.
what relieved from this difficulty, from considera-
tons: first, from The stubborn fact that, in my own
person, derived the decided beneficial effects
from their use and at time when all other means /
were pronounced as lncompe tent to cure; and in the
second place. from being myself pretty well acquaint-
ed with the composition of the Remedies
These two facts Will serve as an apology tor me IN
candidy expressing my opinion with regard to the me-
dcine. Ii did not believe that thousands suf-
terng from diseases ncurabe under any other system
OF practice, and certainly durable under this, would
not care 10 offer one word in favor OF oherwoods
NEEDLES. From conviction of this kind hesitate not
tor one moment, to recommend them as infinitely SUI
peror, in chronic diseases, any course at present
known to the medical profession.

and generally with success. | am. however, OF the
opinion that in advanced stages Of pulmonary con- F
sumption they are not so effectual would be led
to suppose from reading DR.. Sherwoods pamphlet. 4
In almost every other form OF scrotula they have 4
surpassed my most sanguine expectations. There are
many citizens OF Cincinnati who will certify to cures
IN certain cases, OF long standing, which not hene-
fitted from any course which had been pursued land in
these cases you know everything is tried that heard
o and their certificates will be of sufficient variety
too, to prove all that is claimed for them, even by Dr.
5. himself, with the single exception | have made 4
above.
do not wish to be understood to convey the idea H
that they are nfable; that is not my meaning nor m-
preston, concerning anything this earth but do
believe them to be efiectuain curing chronic disea-
ses as ordinary remedies 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, believe that they 4
cannot be gainsayed can detect, with the greatest
certainty the diseases called by Dr. Sherwood scofula
without any previous knowledge OF the patient, of
the history of his disease; and this do merely by an
examination of the cervica glands and spinal column l
The ordinary course OF feeling he pulse, looking at |
the tongue, and asking hundred questions, or |
ess, IS both useless and waste of time. do not think
that one skilled in this mode of examination can be .
deceived once in hundred cases. In my practice d
pursue this mode of examination exclusively with I
great saving OF time, and much more satisfactory
suit. This Is as much as deem il now necessary to
communicate Yours, &c. b. S. LAWSON.
