TO PRETENDERS
A Wholesome Word for Guidance.

lust a word to you, Golfers" and
other glaring examples Of Modern
yellow Journalism and Cigarettes.
Environment gives you a viewpoint
from which it is difficult to under
stand that some people even nova
days act from motives of old fashion
ed honesty. ~s~
There are honest makers of foods
and heaIthful beverages and there are
honest people who use them.
Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be of
a kind to understand it.
Some of you have been trained in a
sorry class of pretenders, but your
training does not faint the old FASH
toned person trained without know
ledge of pretense and deceit.
These letters came to US absolutely
without solicitation. We have a great
many thousand from people who have
been helped or entirely healed by fol-
lowing the suggestions to quit the
food or drink which may be causing
the physical complaints and change to
Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food.
You are not intelligent enough to
know the technical reasons why the
change makes a change in the cells
of the body. Your knowledge, or lack
of knowledge, makes not the slightest
difference in the facts.
You can print from old and worn
plates all the cheap books your
presses will produce and sell them as
best you can, but such acts and your
Learned editorials are but CONNER
ciaI, and seek only dollars" and
much by pretence.
When you branch out into food VAL
ues you become only ridiculous.

may be small but it is safe.

Dear Mr.. Pritchard:
Noticing Postum Food Coffee ad-
vertised each week in your reliable |
paper, I concluded to try it, and feel |
ing it duty towards those who may
have suffered as I have from indiges-
ton. desire to state what wonderful |
benefit I have received from Postum |
although using only short time, and |
not do alone realize annd appreciate |
its good effects, but friends remark. |
''How much 1 have improved and |
how we'll I look" and tell the facts |
about Postum every time, for since !
using it I have not had one attack of |
indigestion. 1t is invigorating, health |
full; does not affect the nerves as or
coffee, and if properly made a !
most delicious drink. Although II
have not had much faith in general |
advertising. yet, finding Postum has |
done so much better for me than ex-
pected I am more inclined to prove |
all things, hold fast that which is |
good" I am so thankful for good |
health that want 1t known what a 4
Postum has been to me. You |
may use these few lines as an ad. if |
you so desire and my name also.
Very truly yours,
