Distortion No. I stated that we have
been accustomed to advertise Grape \ Nuts
and Postum as "cure-allB for every thing
II has never been the policy of this
Company to advertise Grape-Nuts OF Pos
Jun to cure anything.
We saw that in cases where coffee disa,
grees and is causing sickness lts DISMISSAL
will remove the cause of the trouble, and
we suggest the use of Postum for the
reason that it furnishes n hot palatabe
morning beverage, and contains natural
elements from the grain which can be
used by nature to assist in rebuilding
nerve centers that coffee may have broken
down.
Likewise Grape-Nuts food does not
cure ANYTHING but it does assist nature
tremendously in rebuilding, provided the
undigestible food that has been used is
discontinued and Grape-Nuts taken IN us
place.
CHARGE Mo. 2 states that the passage
Of the National Food & Drugs Act COM
pelled us to drop from the packages some
insertions regarding the nutritive value
Of Grape-Nuts.
We have never been "compelled' to
make any change.
Since the beginning It has been a uni YER
sol rule TO print clearly on every package
exactly what the contents are mld1 OF.
BEFORE the passage Of the Pure Food
law the packages stated that Grape-Nuts
food was made Of wheat and h1reZ
We did not esteem the small amount
/ NJ salt and Yeast as Of value enough TO
| speak of. but after the new Law came
| IN we became as technical as the OIL
| cials at Washington and added the words
"yeast" and salt" although we have
no recollection of being asked to.
We believed that our statement that
| Crape.Nuts will supply elements to nour-
ish the brain and nerve centers Is true
and bring authorities to support the iact
Some state chemists believed this a
cross evapperation and inasmuch ~ the
Rood Dept. Mt Washington could easily
harass procers. pending trial on tht
disDuted question, we concluded tha'
much the better way would be TO elm
mate from our packages such claims
however certain we may be that tt'
claims are true.
Another statement objected to read Al
follows
"Tbe svstcm will nhsoIh create
amount OF nourishment from one poun'
of Grape.Nuts than from ten pounds c
meat, wheat, oats, or bread
Some Department chemists decev
themselves as well as the public.
"Caloried" is the word which defines
unit of heat determined by the amour
necessary to raise one kilogrnm of waite
one degree centigrade. On this basis
table of calores is prepared showing. tn
percentage Of different kinds Of food
Butter shows 500; Grape-Nuts 396
milk O.7O Remember the statement o
the package spoke Of the .nourishment th
system would absorb, but did not speak q
the caIories OF heat contained in II, TO
the heat is not nourishment, and IN
, nourishment cannot be judged by tn
number Of heat units, notwthstnndln
the fact that certain chemists would haV
the public believe so.
As an illustration: Attempt to feed.
man sixty days on butter alone, with n
500 calories. The man would die b'

Y Then, take Grape-Nuts with 3oS an
