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
tcrs.
1T has been our rule to refrain
from publishing the names either OF
laymen or physicians who have writ
ten to us in q complimentary way,
and we have declined to accede to the
demand OF attorneys that We turn
these letters owe to them.
II am asking . 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.
I'VE have hundreds Of letters from
physicians. but l 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 l have
been trying to do partly through the
little book. Tho Road to Wellville.'
Il do NO sell or attempt to sell the
higher thought which is more impor-
.ant than the kind Of food, but 1 have
taken considerable pains to extend to
humanity such facts as may have
come to mo on this subject.
In order that you mind may be re-
freshed l am herewith enclosing a.
copy OF your good letter, also a copy
of the little book, and il you will give'
ne the privilege OF printing this over
your signature l will comps the
printing with an explanation as to
why you permitted it's use in publ
cation In order to refute falsehoods.
and under that method Of treatment
feel, so far as l know. there would be
no breach of the code OF ethics.
Il trust this winter weather is find.
ING you we'll. %contented and enjoying
The fruits that are yours By right.
with all best wishes. I am"
Yours very truly,
C. w. POST.

My Dear Sir:

probation Of one Of your business
methods. that Of accompanying each

s%entation Of health-giving a~uto-sugges.
tons could scarcely be penned.
"Grape-Nuts IL a good food in itself.
but the food contained in this little
article is still better stun. l commend
the practice because l know that the
greed and strenuousness, the conee.
guent graft and other types Of THEY.
cry and malicious mischief generally
can be cured by legislative ac

THE only hope for the betterment
Of the race rests in individual sorl
culture.
I'm taking a step in this direction.
your process has been so original and
unique that it must set a pace for
other concerns until finally the, whole
country gets favored with genuine
practical Christianity.
II shall do all that lies in my now.
er to aid in the appreciation of Crane.
Nuts, not SO much for the sake of thc
food itself as for the accompanying,
suggestions.

Illinois. while l was consulting with
Mr.. Gregory, my friend visited your
factories and came away greatly
amazed, not only at the luxurious fur
nishings of the Offices generally and
the general equipment OF the place.
but with the sweet spirit of courtesy
and kindness that seemed to fill tho
air with a spiritual ozone that was
| good to breathe.
