MY Dear Doctor:
Owing to some disagreement with
- magazine several years ago
they have become quite vituperative,
and Of late have publicly charged me
with falsehoods in my statements
that we have genuine testimonial let
tiers.
\ 1T has been our rule to refrain
from publishing the names either Of
laymen or physicians who have writ
ten to us in q complimentary way,
and we have declined to accede to the
demand Of attorneys that we turn
these letters over to them.
Il am asking . few men whom l
deem to be friends to permit me to
reproduce some of their letters over
their signatures in order to refute the
falsehoods.
I'VE have hundreds Of letters from
physicians. but l esteem the one that
you wrote to me in 1906 among the
very best, particularly in view Of the
fact that it recognizes the work I have
been trying to do partly through the
little book, The Road to Wellville.'
Il do not sell or attempt to sell the
higher thought which is more impor.
tant than the kind of food, but l have
taken considerable pains to extend 10
humanity such facts as may have
come to me on this subject.
I'm order that your mind may be re-
freshed l am herewith enclosing q
copy Of your good letter, also a copy
of the little book, and II you will give
me the privilege Of printing this over
your signature l will accompany the
printing with an explanation as to
why you permitted its use in publ.
cation in order to refute falsehoods.
and under that method of treatment /
feel, SO far as l know. there would be
no breach of the code of ethics.
II trust this winter weather is find.
ing you well, contented and enjoying
the fruits that are yours by right.
With all best wishes, l am"
Yours very truly,

My Dear Sir:
i write to express my personal ap
probation Of one Of your business
methods. that Of accompanying each
package of your Grape-Nuts produc.
ton with that little booklet THE
Road to MELVILLE" "A more appro.

tons could scarcely be penned.
"Grape-Nuts is a good food in itself,
but the food contained in this little
article is still better stun. l commend
the practice because ! know that the
greed and strenuousness, the conse-
Quent graft and other types of thiev.
cry and malicious mischief generally
can never be cured by legislative 40

The only hope for the betterment
OF the race rests In Individual soul
culture.
In taking a step in this direction,
your process has been SO original and
unique that 1t must set a pace for
other concerns until finally the whole
country gets favored with genuine,
practical Christianity.
Il shall do all that lies in my DOW.
er to aid In the appreciation of Grape
Nuts, not SO much for the sake Of the
food itself as for the accompanying
suggestions.
