lead to a most careful and systematic
study Of the effect of the mind on the
body.
He attended clinics in Europe and
fitted himself for a 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
we'll 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
well-known physicians he was quickly
and not well-understood method. Suf-
ficient to say, he became a well man,
weighing about 1876 pounds.
This experience challenged his in
vestigation into causes of disease and
their amelioration. Those studies and
experiences developed a very profound
reverence for a Supreme Power which
directly operates upon the human be-
ing, and this reverence for the Infinite
became to him a form Of religion
which included honesty of purpose
towards his fellowman. A statement
which will be Endorsed by everyone
who knows him closely.
He will make a public announce
ment in detail of these facts, and the
Postum Company will cause that state
ment to be published in newspapers

gest the reader look for 1t.

tition).
We used nearly all of the papers and
magazines in New York and the rest
of America, but the sensational writer
gives the impression to its readers
that the only magazine we used was
one whose editor is now in the Fed
eral Penitentiary, "etc., something that
we know nothing of the truth of now,
and never did. Space was bought in
the magazine spoken of on a business
basis for the reason that 1t went to a
good class of readers. The incident
seems to have furnished an opportun-
ity for a designing writer to deceive
his readers.
We look upon honest human testi-
mony from men and women as to the
means by which they recovered
health as of tremendous value to those
in search of it. Our business has been
conducted from the very first day upon
lines of strict integrity and we never
yet have published a false testimonial
of human experience. Many of these
letters covered numerous sheets; some.
II printed, would spread over half a
page of newspaper. If we would at
tempt to print one such letter in every
one of the thousands OF papers anc
magazines we use, the cost for print
ing that one letter would run into
many thousands OF dollars.
We bon. down these letters exactly
as a newspaper writer boils his
news,-sticking sacredly to the impor-
| tant facts and eliminating details
about the family and other unimpor-
tant matters. This work of boiling
down, or editing, is done honestly, and
with a full knowledge of our RESPONSE

His eye is not of the shifty kind OBJ

The attorney sought by every art to
impress the Jury with the fact that
Mr.. Posts belief in the power of Mind
in relation to the body branded him
as unreliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one OF
the questions:-

Statement No. 5 reads; THE
health officers of Mich, Maine, Penn,

official bulletins have for years been
denouncing as preposterous and fraud
ulent the claims made by the Pos

frecall any criticism except from Mich,
Penn, Maine and s. Dakota.
The average reader might think
that the opinions expressed by the
State Officials are always correct, but
that conclusion is not borne out by
facts.
AS an illustration: About thirteen
years ago the Dairy and Food Com
mission Of Michigan for some personal
reason printed a severe criticism on
us for making Postum of Barley (ac-
cording to his official chemist) at
market price and selling too high.
He was shown there was never a grain
of barley used in Postum. His report
was false and misleading. The COVER
nor dismissed him.
We believe that most of the state
officials are honest, and on the other
hand we are firmly convinced that
some OF their conclusions cannot be
substantiated by facts in scientific
research.
They never criticize the purity OF
our foods, for so much we are thank
full.
If our conclusions in regard to its
being a brain food differ from theirs
and we are both honest, they have
rather the advantage, because under
the law they can order us to eliminate
from the package any statement II II

wise they would harass grocers.
