That Suit for Libel
9 Bring Out Facts

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal.
Following 1t, an attack on us appeared In
their editorial columns; sneering at the claims
We made particularly regarding Appendicitis.
We replied through the regular papers and
the weekly" thought we hit back rather too
hard and thereupon sued for libel.
The advertisement the weekly" attacked
US about claimed that in many cases OF appen-
dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis
continuing indigestible food, washing out the
bowels and taking a predigested food Grape
Nuts.
Observe we said MANY cases not all.
Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to
those who fear . surgeons knife as they fear

We replied that he was ignorant of the facts.

admit he was not q DR.. and had no medical
knowledge Of appendicitis and never invesu-
