days, but six months on that food alone,
and we do not hesitate to say from our
long knowledge of the sustaining power
of the food that q man at the end OF
sixty days would be of practically the
same weight as when he started,-f he be
a man of normal weight.
We will suppose that from his work
he lost a pound a day and made up q
pound each day from food. If that prem
ise proved to be true the man in sixty
days time would make sixty pounds of
tissue to replace what had been lost, and
this would be done on Grape-Nuts and
milk with half the number of calories of
butter, upon which no one can sustain
life.
Therefore, we have reason to believe
centrated food like Grape-Nuts, which
is partly digested and ready for easy as
sanitation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will abb
sorb than many other forms Of food. and
we will further say that in cases of diges-
tive troubles where meat. white bread
and oats cannot be digested, that Grape
Nuts and milk contain more nourish-
ment that the system will absorb than
many pounds of these other foods.
Distortion Mo. charges that our tes-
timonials were practically all paid for
and rewritten in Battle Creek.
These testimonials were demanded by
the opposing lawyers. Naturally this
demand was refused, for they are held in
vaults and kept safe to prove the truth
and are not to be delivered up on demand
| of enemies.
Testimony at the trial brought out the
fact that we never printed a single testi
monial that we did not have the genuine
letter back of. Many of these letters
came spontaneously. A record was kept
of twelve hundred and four (1204) let
ters received in one month from people
who wrote that they had either, entirely
recovered their health or been benefited
by following our suggestions on fooc
and beverages.
On three or four occasions in the pas
ten or twelve years we printed broadcas
in papers offers of prizes to users o
Postum and Grape-Nuts, -two hundred
sl.00 prizes, one hundred 800, invent,
of $500 and FIVE of $1,000 each,-statinl
that each must be an honest letter wit
name and address, We agreed not to pub
1ish names, but to furnish them to en-
quirers by letter. These letter writer
very generally answered those who wrot
to them. and verified the truth Of tn
statements.
Under this agreement not to pubhs
names literally scores of letters cam
from doctors. We kept our word an
neither printed their names or surrer
dered the letters.
