My Dear Doctor:
Owing to some disagreement with
magazine several years ago
they have become quite vituperative,
and of late have publicly charged me
with falsehoods in my statements
that we have genuine testimonial let
ters.
at has been our rule to refrain
from publishing the names either of
laymen or physicians who have writ
ten to us In a complimentary way,
and we have declined to accede to the
demand of attorneys that we turn
these letters over to them.
Il am asking a few men whom l
deem to be friends to permit me to
reproduce some of their letters over
their signatures in order to refute the
falsehoods.
1--WE have hundreds of letters from
physicians, but esteem the one that
you wrote to me in 1906 among the
very best, particularly in view of the
fact that 1t recognizes the work have
been trying to do partly through the
little book, The Road to Wellville.'
II do not sell or attempt to sell the
higher thought which is more impor-
tant than the kind Of food, but have
taken considerable pains to extend to
humanity such facts as may have
come to me on this subject.
in order that your mind may be re-
freshed l am herewith enclosing
copy of your good letter, also a copy
Of the little book, and II you will give
me the privilege of printing this over
your signature l will accompany the
printing with an explanation as to
why you permitted its use in publ
cation in order to refute falsehoods,
and under that method of treatment l
feel, so far as know, there would be
no breach Of the code of ethics.
II trust this winter weather is find
ing you well, contented and enjoying
the fruits that are yours by right.
With all best wishes, l am"
Yours very truly,
C. w. POST.

Mr.. C. w. Post,
Battle Creek, Mich.
My Dear Sir:
Il write to express my personal ap-
probation of one of your business
methods, that of accompanying each
package OF your GrapeNuts produc-
tion with that little booklet The
Road to Wellvi!le," A more appro-
pirate, clear headed and effective pre-
sentation Of health-giving auto-sugges.
tions could scarcely be penned.
"Grape-Nuts is a good food in itself,
but the food contained In this little
article is still better stun. l commend
the practice because know that the
greed and strenuousness. the conse-
Quent graft and other types of thiev.
cry and malicious mischief generally
can never be cured by legislative &C.
tion.
The only hope for the betterment
OF the race rests In individual soul
culture.
In taking a step In this direction.
your process has been so original and
unique that II must set pace for
other concerns until finally tho whole
country gets favored with genuine,
practical Christianity.
II shall do all that lies In my pow.
er to aid In the appreciation OF Grape
Nuts. not so much for the sake OF the
food Itself as for the accompanying
suggestions
