officials are honest, and on the other
hand we are firmly convinced that some
of their conclusions cannot be substan-
tiated by facts in scientific research.
They never criticize the purity of our
foods, for SO much we are thankful.
If our conclusions in regard to, its be.
ing a brain food differ from theirs, and
we are both honest, they have rather the
advantage, because under the law they
can order rs to eliminate from the pack
age any statement if it disagrees with
their opinion. Otherwise they would
harass grocers.
spasm No. 6 says: "The most dam
gerous thing in the world for one threat
ened with appendicitis is to eat any food
whatever. Notwithstanding he knew that
danger, c. W. Post advertised Grape-Nuts
at fifteen. cents package for those 30
threatened"
This is intended to muddle the reader
into believing that we put out Grape-Nuts
as cure for appendicitis.
Mr.. Post, himself. has had probably as
wide experience as any other man in
America in the study and observation of
food as related to the digestive organs.
and we proved in Court by the physicians
and surgeons on the witness stand that
the predominating cause Of appendicitis
is undigested food. and that it is neces-
sary to quit eating food, and when the
body requires food again, use .pre-di-
gested food, or at least one easy of diges-
ton.
DR.. Ochsner in his work on appendicitis
refers directly to the use of the we'll
known pre-digested foods that can be
obtained on the market He also brought
out the interesting fact that in ~after
treatment" it is advantageous to take
on a pre-digested food.
The price of the package referred to
by the weekly is not known by us to
have any relation to the question.
Our advice to stop using indigestible
Nuts food has been a great blessing to
tens of thousands of people. and we hope
will continue to bless good many more
in the succeeding years.

Suggestive Therapeutics" or Mental
Healing" which further lead to most
careful and systematic study of the eff

er organs of the body.
He attended clinics in Europe and
fitted himself for future career in which
he has become known as one of the food
experts of the world, fitted to, Judge both
from the material as well as the mental
side of the question.
For about eight years previous to 1891
he was an invalid In that year, after
being under the care of several we'll
known physicians. he was quickly healed,
by what to him was a curious and not
well-ufderstood method. Sufficient to say
he became well man, weighing about lSS
pounds.
This experience challenged his invest;-
CATION into causes of disease and their
amelioration. Those studies and expert
ences developed very profound rever-
ence for Supreme Power which directly
operates upon the human being, and this
reverence for the Infinite became TO him
form of religion which included honesty
of purpose towards his fellow-man. A
statement which will he Endorsed by every
one who knows him closely.
He will make a public announcement
in detail of these facts. and the Postum
Company win cause that statement to be
published in newspapers and magazines
