That Suit for Libel
st the Postum Cereal Co.. Ltd, Gave a SpIendid Cbar
70 Bring Out Facts

A disagreement about advertising arose
with a weekly" Journal.
Following it, 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 q surgeons knife as they fear
death?
The weekly" writer said that was a lie.
We replied that he was ignorant Of the facts.
He was put on the stand and compelled to
admit he was not a DR.. and had no medical
knowledge of appendicitis and never invest-
gated to find out il the testimonial letters to
our Co. were genuine.
A famous surgeon testified that when an
operation was required Grape-Nuts would not
obviate It. True.
We never claimed that when an operation
was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it.
The surgeon testified bacteria [germsl help
ed to bring on an attack o"d bacteria was
grown by undigested food frequently.
We claimed and proved by other famous
experts that undigested food was largely
responsible for appendicitis.
We showed by expert testimony that many
cases are healed without a knife, but by stop

ANCIENT LONDON.
When Danger and Lanthorns Were
Abroad After Dark.

When Danger and Lanthorns Were
Abroad After Dark.
Less than 200 years ago the watch
men Of London town, carrying horn
lanthorns and halberds, dressed in long
coats and knee breeches, walked up
and down the cobbled streets Of the
worlds largest city chanting the fol-
lowing verse:
A light there. maids! Hang out your light
And see your horns be clear and bright,
That so your candle clear may shine.
Continuing from six to nine.
That honest men that walk along
May see to pass safe without wrong.
1t is beyond our comprehension and
imagination In these days Of flaming
arc lamps and brilliantly lighted
streets to picture the streets OF Lon
don In the lawless age when only a
candle with a cotton wick was hung
out here and there on dark nights. 1t
was an age Of lanthorns, OF fambeaux
and linkboys, when every one made
his will and prepared for death when
he ventured out at night.
1t is so written that it was a com
mon practice In that city for a com
pany Of a hundred or more to make
nightly invasions upon houses Of the
wealthy to Rill and rob, and 1t is re-
corded "that when night was come no
man burst venture to walk in the
