THE "YlL-OH" MAN
And ORG His Ways.


we will let the rder select his own
term.
Some time ag the Manager or
Golfers Weekly got very cross
with us because ' would not con-
tinue to advertise This paper.
We have occasnally been at
tackled by editors vo have tried to
force us to advertisin their papers
at their own prices, cd, on their own
conditions, failing inwhich we were
to be attacked throug their editorial
columns. The readeran fit a name
to that tribe.
We had understood lat the editor
of Golfers" was wd cat Of the
Sinclair Jungle bungle type, a per-
SON with curdled gray natter, but it
seems strange that the o,ners would
descend to using their eitorial COL
umns. yellow as they ar, for such
rank out and ont falsehods as APP
pear in their issue of lilly 9th,
where the editor goes out & his way
to attack us. and the reason will APP
pear tolerably clear to am reader
who understands the venom behind it.
We quote in part as folows:-
Zone widely circulated para graph
labors to induce the impression that
Grape-Nuts will o5viate the necessity
of an operation in appendicitis. This
is lying, and, potentially, deadly ly-
ing. Similarly, Postum continually
makes reference to the endorsements
of distinguished physician or a
prominent health Official persons rs
mythical. doubtless. as they are mys-
terious"
We do not hesitate to reproduce
these mendacious falsehoods in order
that it may be made clear to the pub
lie what the facts are. and to nail the
liar up so that people may have look
at him. IL this poor clown knew
what produced appendicitis. he might
have some knowledge of why the use
of Grape-Nuts would prevent it. Let
1t be understood that appendicitis
results from long continued disturb
ance in the intestines, caused primar-
lily by undigested food, and chiefly by
undigested starchy food, such as
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 irritat-
ing the mucous surfaces until, under
such conditions. the lower part of the
colon and the appendix become in
volved. Disease sets up, and fire.
quently, of form known as appendi-
citis.
Now then, Grape-Nuts food was
made by Mr.. G. w. Post, after he had
an attack of appendicitis, and re-
CURED some food in which the starch
was predigested. No such food ex-
listed; from his knowledge of dietetics
he perfected the food; made it pri-
marily for his own use, and after.
wards introduced it to the public. In
this food the starch is transformed
by moisture and longtime cooking.
into form of sugar, which Is easily
digested and does not decay in the.
intestinss. 1t is a practical certainty
that when man has approaching
symptoms of appendicitis, the attack
can be avoided by disseminating all
food except Grape-Nuts, and by prop.
erly washing out the intestines.
Most physicians are now acquainted
with the facts, and will verify the.
statement.
OF course, this is all news. and
should be an education to The person
who writes the editorials for "Col--
lier's,' and who should take at least
some training before he undertakes
to write for the public.
Now as to the references to "a dis
physician" or "a promi--
nent health official" being mythical
persons. We are here to wager
Golfers 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 adver-
tisement announcing the opinion of
a prominent physician or health
official on Postum or Grape-Nuts.
when we did not have the actual
letter in our possession. 1t can be-
easily understood that many prom
lnent, physicians dislike to have their
names made public in reference to.
any article whatsoever; they have
their own reasons, and we respect
those reasons. but we never make
OF endorsements unless we
have the actual endorsement, and
that statement we will hack with any
amount of money called for.
When journal wilfully prostitutes
It's columns, to try and harm yepu-
table manufacturer in an effort to-
force him to advertise. it is time the
public knew the facts. The owner
or editor of Golfers Weekly cam
not force money from us by such
