Physiological Chemistry. by HammaT

Biochemic System of Medicine, By
Carey.
The weekly" carefully eliminates from
its printed account testimony regardlna
the years of research and study by MT;
Post in fitting himself for his work and
would lead the reader of the distorted
article to believe that his educatlon
began since 1908.
Distortion No. IL reports Mr.. Post as
a "dodging witness"
His eve is not of the shifty kind OBJ.
served in the head of one of his chief
critics. On the witness stand Mr.. Poso
looks quietly but very steadily straight in
to the eyes of the haggling, twisting law
yer. irving by all his art to ask double
barreled questions and bull-doze and con-
fuse witness.
The "dodgng" it seems consisted OK
replying, Il don't know"
Opposing counsel holds a book in his
hand while he queries,-
T want to know if there is single
thing in your whole book here that -, sug-
gests any particular kind of food" Then
followed some discussion between attor-
neys.
When Mr. Post was allowed to reply.
he said, 81 don't know until l read the
book over to see."
This book, it turns out, was written by
Mr.. Post seventeen years ago and prob
ably has not been read carefully by him
in the last fifteen years. 1t would require
a remarkable memory to instantly say
eyes" or mo" as to what book of lat
pages did or did not contain, without
bV1f
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
reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one of
the questions:-
(The lawyer reading from the book.)
"The writer of these pages desires IN
say nothing of himself other than as a
simple instrument through which the De
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
by precept and example.
"Skill in mental practice is gained i'm
the same way as skill in any departments
of scence-by observation, study, expe-

conclusions.
"Read carefully, thoughtfuly no mors
than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you will not ba
disturbed. Relax every muscle. Close
your eyes, and go into the silence where
mind is plastic to the breathings of spi-it
and where God talks to the Son. Tho
thoughts from Divine Universal Mind
come as winged angels and endow Won
with healing power. If you go into tho
silence humble and trusting, you will core
out enriched and greatly strengthened in
body by contact even for a short time
with the Father of all life and all power.
You will feel refreshed in every way and
food taken will digest readily as tho
stomach works smoothly when under tha
influence of Higher Power"
'T ask you if you did not write that.
and if you did not believe it when YOU
wrote it."
For a moment the Court Room was in
absolute silence.
Mr.. Post slowly leaned forward owe,

in due time. We suggest the reader look
for it.
Prevarication No. 8. "Post spends
nearly a million a 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 "bribe- 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 evnosino 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
that for years every Postum package an
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 Taxa Diastase" 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 selfappointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through lgnor-
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, PhysL
oIogy. Dietetics and Psychological re.
lating to the preparation and digestion of
food. Asked to name authorities studied
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.-"the 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 1905"
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
bv them the truth of his statements re-
earding appendicitis and the analysis of
brain. also the latest conclusions in re-
gard to the action of the digestive organs.
These works are:
Human Physiology, by Raymond.
Physiological Chemistry, by Simon.
Digestive Glands, by Pawlow.

ner.
