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
. talsehoods in my statements that We
gave genuine testimonial letters.
1T has Teen our rule to refrain
from publishing the names either of
laymen or physicians who have writ
ten to us in a complimentary way,
and we have declined to accede to the
demand of attorneys that we turn
=, these letters over to them.
i am asking a few men whom
deem to be friends to permit me tD
reproduce some of their letters over
TIER signatures in order to refute
the falsehoods.
"We have hundreds of letters from
physicians, but esteem the one that
you wrote to me in 1906 among tie
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 Well
Vile"
Il do not sell or attempt to sell ire
higher thought which is more impor-
tant than the kind of food, hut have
taken considerable pains to extend
to humanity such facts as may have

My dear Sir
4 write to express my personal
appreciation of one OF your business
methods, that of accompanying each
package Of your Grape-Nuts produc-
ton with that little booklet The
Road to Wellville.' A more appropIi-
ate, clear headed and effective presen-
tation of healt1-giving auto-sugges-
tons could scarcely be penned.
"Grape-Nuts is a good food in Itself,
nut the food contained in this little
article is still better stuff | commend
the practice because I 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 ac-
ton.
The only hope for the betterment
of the race rests in individual soul
culture.
I In taking a step in this direction,
your process has been so original and
unique that it must set a pace 70:
other concerns until finally the whole
country gets favored with genuine,
practical Christianity.
4 shall do all that lies in my pow
, er to aid in the appreciation of Grape
Nuts, not so much for the sake Of
the food itself as for the accompany
; ing suggestions.

factories and came away greatly
amazed, not only at the luxurious
furnishings of the Offices generally
and the general equipment of The
place, hut with the sweet spirit of
courtesy and kindness that seemed to
was good to breathe.
