The Postum Company does pay out up

bran is part of Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an

They ignorantly fell into a trap here,
mot knowing enough of food value to know
that Taxa -Diastase' the article used by
physicians the world over for Starch in

SO we use that part of the wheat berry
because it contains the element needed
to develop the valuable diastase in man

without this part.
These self-appointed critics do make
