We boil down these letters exactly ~

It reads as follows: "The only famous
physician whose name was signed to a
testimonial was produced in Court bv
Golfers and turned out to be poor old
brokendown homeopath. who is now work
ing in a printing establishment. He re-
ceived ten dollars $4,000 for writing his
testimonial"

have. subject to inspection of any fair
committee. upwards Of three hundred
(3oO) communications from physicians,
many of them expressing the highest com
mendation OF our products. but these will
no. now or ever be turned over to the
publisher for his use.
Notice the statement In this charge:
''The only famous physician whose name

The. truth 10. this DR.. Underwood was
one OF a great many physicians who have
not only written commendatory words
about tho value of our foods. but every

the article be an honest expression of his

endorsed Grape Nuts" but much to the
chagrin of the Weekly" when our attor-
news asked him il the article he wrote
about coffee was true he replied. "yes."
Statement No. 8 reads: "The health
officers of Mich. Maine. Penn. New
Hamp., and other states in their official
bulletins have for years been denouncing
as prepssterous and fraudulent the claims
made by the Postum Cereal COMPANY"
We d. not recall anv criticism except
from Mich. Penn. Maine and s. Dakota.
The average reader might think that
the opinion, expressed by the State OFF,
cials are always correct, but that con-
clusion is not borne out by facts.
