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 man at the end of
sixty days would be of practically the
same weight as when he started,-if he be
a man Of normal weight.
We will suppose that from his work
he lost d pound a day and made up a
pound each day from food. If that prem
Use 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 Galleries Of
life.
Therefore, we have reason to believe
that our contention is right that con-
centrated food like Grape Nuts, which
is partly diigested and ready for easy as
similation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will alb.
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.

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 l2OD let
tiers received in one month from people
who wrote that they had either entirely
recovered their health or been benefited
by following our suggestions on food
and beverages.
On three, or four occasions in the past
ten or twelve years we printed broadcast
in papers offers of prizes to users of
Postum and Grape Nuts,-two hundred

of $500 and five of $1,000 each,-stating

fish names, but to furnish them to en-.
quirers by letter. These letter writer's
very generally answered those who wrote
to them, and verified the truth Of the
statements.
Under this agreement not to publish
names literally scores of letters came
from doctors. We kept our word and
neither printed their names or surren-
dered the letters.

The "Wee<ly' says: "Post cot those testi-
monials by advertising for them. In New
York he used for that purpose the New
York Magazine of -- whose editor
is now in the Federal Penitentiary for
fraudulent use of the nails For exam
pie, Post announced in that marazine in
1907, etc." (thcn follows our prize com.
petition).
We used nearly all Of the naners and
magazinss in New Yor!z and ths rest Of
America, but the sensational writer gives
the impression to his readers that the
only magazine we used was one Whose
editor is now in the Federal Penitentiarv,"
etc, something that we know nothing
Of the truth Of now, and never did.
Space was bought in the magazine spoken
of on business basis for the reason that
it went to good class of readers. The
incident seems to have furnished an op-
portunity for a designing writer to de-
ceive his readers.
