Physiological Chemistry. by HammaH

Biochemic System of Medicine. By
Carey.
The weekly" carefully eliminates from
its printed account testimony regardipl
the years Of research and study by Mr.
Post in fitting himself for his work. and
would lead the reader Of the distorted
article to believe that his education
began since 1905.
Distortion No. u reports Mr.. Post a

His eye is not Of the shifty kind OBJ
served in the head of one OF his chief
critics. On the witness stand Mr.. Post
looks quietly but very steadily straight In
to the eyes Of the haggling. twisting law

barreled questions and bull-doze and con-
fuse a witness.

followed some discussion between attor

When Mr.. Post was allowed to reply.
he said, 81 don't know until read the
book over to see."
This book, Il 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. It would require
remarkable memory to instantly say

pages did or did not contain. without

The attorney SOUGHT by every art to

the questions:-

in due time. We suggest the reader look
for it.
Prevarlcatlon 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 a 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 "hribeo them.
Il may have escaped notice that we
did not "bribe" that particular weekly.
No. states that the amount of the
verdict will ''be devoted by the weekly
to exnosing fraud"
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total. $500, 10000.
We haven't devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is a discovery" that wheat
bran is a part Of Postum.
But the criticiDG neglected 10 mention
that for years every Postum package an
nounced in plain type that the outer COW
eriug Of wheat (bran), made part Of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into a trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
that 'Iaka-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
10 develop the valuable diastase in man
ufacture. Good Postum is impossible
without this part.
These self.appointed critics do make
some laughable blunders through ignor.
anee, 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, Physi-
ology. 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 exps-
riencs covering several years In annual

This IL an example Of distortion and
