Item II is an illustration Of the .gnirm:
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, Dictetics 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 e&pc,,
rience covering several years in annual
journeys to Europe.

the printed criticism.)

editions:" was asked.

swered Post.
The attorney picked up book after
book from the pile and showed the title
pages to the jury.-all except two had
been published since 1905"
This is an example of distortion and
false coloring to produce an unfavorable
impression.
The facts are Mr.. Post purposely intro
duced the latest editions that could be
obtained of prominent authorities to prove
by them the truth of his statements re,
garding appendicitis and the analysis Of
brain, also the latest conclusions in re-
eard to the action Of the digestive organs

officials are honest. and on the other
hand we are firmly convinced that some
of their conclusions cannot be spostsn-
tiatsd by facts in scientific research.
They never criticize the purity Of our
foods, for so much We are thankful.
II our conclusions in regard to its be:
ing a brain food differ from theirs, and
we arc both honest. they have rather the
advantage, because under the law they
are any statement II IL disagrees with
their opinion. Otherwise they would
harass grocers.
spasn No. 9 says: The most dan
gerous thing in the world for one tnTeat; ;
ened with appendicitis is to eat any food
whatever. Notwithstanding he knew that
danger. C. W. Post advertised GraPe-Nuts

threatened"
Thi. Is intended 70 muddle the reader
into believing that wc put out Gupe- Nuts

Mr.. Post, himself. has had probably a.
wide experience as any other man In
America in the study and observation Of
food as related to the digestive organs.
and We proved in Court by the physicians
and surgeons on the witness stand that
i. undieested food. and tina, Il IL neces-
fary to quit eating food. and when the
body requires food again. use .pre-di-
eested food. or at least one easy OF digcs-

known pre-dieested foods that can be
obtained on the market. He also brought

on a pre-digcsted food.
The price Of the package Preferred to
by the weekly Is not known by US to
have any relation to the question.
Our advice to stop using indigestiblc
food in bowel troubles and to use Grape
Nuts food has been a great blessing to
tens of thousands of people. and we hope
will continue to bless 4 good many more
in the succeeding years.

careful and Systematic study of the ef-

He attended clinics in Europe and
fitted himself for a future career in which
he has become known as one of the food
experts of the world. fitted to judge both
from the material as well as the mental
side Of the question.
For about eight years previous to 1891
he was an invalid. In that year. after
being under the care of several we'll
known physicians. he was quickly healed.
by what to him was a curious and not
wellunderstood method. Sufficient to say
he became well man. weighing about ls5
pounds.
This experience challenged bis invests-
ration into causes of disease and their
a,neloration. Those studies and expert
enccs developed a very profound reyer:
erce for a Supreme Power which directly
operates upon the human being. and this
reverence for the Infinite became to him

pages did or did not contain. without
reading IL over,-but such conservative
and well balanced answers are construed
by sensation seekers to be "dodSing.'
The attorney sought by every art to
impress the jury with the fact that Mr..
Posts belief in the power of Mind in
| relation to the body branded him as un-
| reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from ono OF
| the questions:-
| (The lawyer reading from the book)
"The writer of these pages desires to
| say nothing of himself other than as a
simple instrument through which the Di:
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
| by prccept and example.
"Skill in mental practice is gained in
the same way as skill in any department
Of sciencc-by observation. study. expc-
rience and the ability to evolve correct
conclusions.
"Read carefully, thoushtfully no mora
| than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you will not be
your eyes, and go into the silence where
mind is plastic to the breathings of spirit
| and where God talks to the Son. Tho
| thoughts from Divine Universal Mind
| come as winged angels and endow you
with a hcalir, power. II you go into tho
silence humble and trusting. you will come
| out enriched and greatly strengthened in
body by contact even for short timo
with the Father of all life and all power;
| You will feel refreshed in every way and
| food taken will digest readily as the
ftonach works smoothly when under tho
| influence Of n Higher Power"
T ask you II you did not write that.
and If you did not believe it when you
wrote it"
For a moment the Court Room was in
absolute silence.
Mr.. Post slowly leaned forward over
the rail, pointed his finger at the Atty's
face to emphasize his reply and with eyes
that caused those of the Attorney to drop
he said. ''Yes. am proud to say did"
