in due time. We suggest the reader look
for it.
Prevaricaton No. 6. 'Post spends
nearly million year IN advertising and
relies on that to keep out of the news
papers the dangerous nature of the fraud
he is perpetrating on the public
The Postum Company does pay out up
wards of a million year for trade an
nouncements. Newspaper men believe our
statements truthful or they would not
print them. Large numbers of newspa-
per men use our products.
They are capable Of telling the public
whether or not we ..bribeo them:
It may have escaped notice that we
did not "bribe" that particular weekly.
No. 9 states that the amount of the
verdict will ''be devoted by the weekly
to evnosin9 fraud"
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total, $500, 100000.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is a discovery" that wheat
bran is part of Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
nounced in plain type that the outer COW
ering of wheat (bran), made part of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into a trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
that 'Taka-D iastase' the article used by
physicians the world over for Starch in
digestion" is made from wheat bran"
So we use that part of the wheat berry
because it contains the element needed
to develop the valuable diastase IN man
ufacture. Good Postum is impossible
without this part.
These self-appointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through ignor-
ance, but-be patient.
Item II is an illustration of the squirm-
ing and twisting of the sensational writer
delivering distorted matter to his read
ers.
While on the witness stand Mr.. Post
testified to his studies in Anatomy, Physi-
ology, Dietetics and Psychological re-
1ating to the preparation and digestion of
he mentioned six or eight from memory,
and commented on some clinical expe--
rience covering several years in annual
journeys to Europe.
Now notice the distortion. Copy from
the printed criticism.)
'He post pointed out pile of books
in possession of his attorneys as the very
ones he had read"
Notice, very ones he had read"
leading the reader to believe that they
were the only ones.)
''Did you consult the books from these
editions!" was asked.
''From those and various editions" an
swered Post.
The attorney 'picked up book after
book from the pile and showed the title
pages to the jury,-all except two had
been published since 1906"
This is an example of distortion and
false coloring to produce an unfavorable
impression.
The facts are Mr. Post purposely intro
duced the latest editions that could be
obtained of prominent authorities to prove
by them the truth of his statements re-
garding appendicitis and the analysis of
brain, also the latest conclusions in re-
gard to the action of the digestive organs

When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply
he said, Il don't know until l read the

and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be lodging"
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 un-
| reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one Of
| the questions:-
| (The lawyer reading from the book.)
"The writer of these pages desires to
say nothing of himself other than as
simple instrument through which the Di-
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
by precept and example.

the same way as skill in any department.

disturbed. Relax every muscle. Close
your eyes, and go into the silence where

with a healing power. If you go into the
silence humble and trusting, you will como

'T ask you if you did not write that.
and if you did not believe 1T when you

For moment the Court Room was in
absolute silence.
Mr. Post slowly leaned forward over
the rail, pointed his finger at the Attys
face to emphasize his reply and with eyes
