The /" Yell-Oh +" Man
And One Of His Ways.

To call a man . liar seems rude. - ws
will let the reader select hts own term.
Some time ago the Manager Of Golfers
weekly' got very cross With us because
we would not continue TO advertise in his
paper.
We have occasionally been attacked
nv editors Who have tried to force us to
advertise in their papers ~ their own prices
and on their own conditions, failing In
which We were 20 be attacked through
their editorial columns The reader can
Ht name 10 that tribe.
We had understood that the editor Of
Golfers was . Wild cat Of the Sinclair
Jungle bungls' typo. person with curdied
gray matter. but 10 seems strange that
the owners would descend to using their
editorial columns. yellow a. they are. for
such rank out and out faisehoods a. sp-
pear in their issue Of July 77th. where the
editor goes ont Of his way to attack us
and the reason will appear toIerably clear
TO any reader who understands the venom
behind it.
We quote in part a. follows: One widely
circulated paragraph labnrs to induce the
impression that Grape Nuts will obviate
the Necessity OF an operation in sppendi-
citis. This u lying. and, potentially deadly
lying Similarly. Postum continually makes
reference to the Endorsements Of a distin-
guished physician or "a prominent health
Official" persons a. mythical doubtless az
they are mysterious"
We do not hesitate to reproduce these
mendacious falsehoods in order that il may
be made clear to the public what the facts
are, and to nail the liar up % that people
may have look at him. II this poor clown
knew what produced appendicitis he might
have some knowledge Of why the use Of
Grape Nuts would prevent il Let it be
understood that appendicitis results from
long continued disturbance in the intes-
tines, caused primarily by undgested food.
and chiefly by undisested starchy food.
such - white bread potatoes, rice, partly
cooked cereals, and such These lie in the
warmth and moisture OF the bowels in an
undigested state, and decay, generating
gases, and irritating the mucous surfaces
until. under such conditions. the lower
part OF the colon and the appendix become
involved. Disease sets up, and frequently
Of form known A appendicitis
Now. then, Grspe-Nms food was made
by MIR. &. W. Post after he had an attack
Of appendicitis and required some food
in which tho starch was predigested. No
such food exist~d: from his knowledge OF
dietetics no perfected the food; made 1t
primarily for his own Use. and afterwards
introduced II to tho public. In this food
the starch II transformed by moisture
and longtime cooking into form Of sugar.
which Ia easily dgested and does not decay
in the intestines. II is a practical certainty
that when a man has approaching symp-
toms OF appendicitis the attack can be
avoided by discontinuing all food except
Grap.-Nuts and by properly washing out
the intestines. Most physicians are now
acquainted with the facts and will verify
the statenent.
OF course. this 10 all news and should be
an education TO the person who writes the
editorials for -Collier's." and who should
take at least some training before he un-
dsrtskes 20 write for the public.
Now a. to tho references to "a distin-
guished physician" or - prominent hsalth h
oficial" being mythical persons" We
are here To wager -Collisr's Weekly" or
any other skeptic or liar, any amount of
money they care to name, and which they
will cover. that We will produce proof TO any
Board OF Investigators that We have never
yet published an advertisement ANNOUNCE
ing the opinion Of . prominent physician
or health official on Postum or Grape Nuts
when we did not have the actual letter in
our possession. II can be easily understood
that many prominent physicians dislike
to have their names made public in refer
ence to any article whatsoever: they have
their own reasons, and We respect those
reasons, but We never make mention OF
endorsements unless We have the actual
endorsement. and that statement We will
back with any amount Of money called for.
When journal wilfully prostitutes its
columns TO try and harm . reputable man
ufacturer In an effort to 70 co him to I'D =
vsrtiss IL is time the public knew tho facts.
The owner or editor Of Golfers Weekly
cannot force money from us by such
