Battle Cheek, Mich, Jan'y z, I'll pr. E. H. Pratt,
 Suite 1902, 100 State St.,
 Chicago, Illinois. 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 letters.
 Tt has been our rule to refrain from publishing the names either of laymen or physicians who have written to us in 8 complimentary way, and we hars de- clined to accede to the demand of at- torneys that we turn these letters oven to them.
 deem to be friends to permit me to re- produce some of their letters over their signatures in order to refute the falae- hoods.
 We have hundreds of letters from physicians. but I esteem the one that you wrote to me in 1906 among the vary best particularly in view Of tho fact that it recognizes the work have been trying to do partly through the little book, The Road to Melville
 'T do not sell or attempt to sell the higher thought which is more impor- taken considerable pains to extend to humanity such facts as may have come to me on this subject
 Tn order that your mind may bs re- freshed am herewith enclosing a copy of your good letter, also a copy of tho privilege of pointing this over your sig nature will accprnpanY the printing with an seTplRsraE Eon as to why you permitted its use in publication ia or. der to refuse falsehoode, and under that method of treatment feel, so far as I know EHera we1a}d 70 r0 aaoh of the code of ethics.
 T trust fhts wlhtAs weather is fnd- ing you well, centented and enieying the fruits that are yours by right With all best wishes, I am Yours very truly. c. ". POST. Dr. Pratt, who ix one of the most prominent and skilfu1 surgeons in America, very kindly granted our re- quest in the cause of truth and justice. Chicago, Aug. s1. 1ses. MT. C. ". Post,
 Battle Creek. Mich. My dear Sir
 T write to express my personal ap- preciation of one of your business methods, that of accompanying each package of your Grape-Nuts produc- tion with that little booklet The Road  headed and effective presentation of health giving auto suggestions could scarcely be penned. l "Grape-Nuts is & good food in itself but the food contained in this little ar- ] ticle is still better stuff. commend I the practice because I knew that the greed and strenuousness. the conse- quent graft and other types Of thievery and malicious mischief generally can never be cured by legislative action. ."The only hope fer the betterment of the race rests in individual soul cul- l ture
 1 Tn taking a step in this direction your process has bean so original and unique that it must set a pace for other concerns until finally the whole coun- try gets favored with genuine, practi- cal Christianity.
 1 q shall do all that Hes in my powei to aid in the appreciation oS Grape 1 Nuts, not 50 much for the sake of the food itself as for the accompanying suggestions.
 Visiting Battle Creek the other da. with a friend, Dr. Kelly of Evanston Illinois, while I was consulting witt MT. Gregory, my friend visited youl l factories and came away greatl, amazed, not only ct the luxurious fur. ! nishings of the offices generally and the general equipment of the place but with the sweet spirit of courtes, and kindness that seemed to fill thu air with a spiritual ezonc that wa. | good to breathe.
 I The principles expressed in the lit I tie booklet The Road to Wellvf1le,' well know are practical and they worl in business of all kinds, including san itariuns, as will be fairly tested befor, time is done.
 T know you will not regard this let ter of appreciation as an intruding one It is simply the salutation of good fel lowship to you from a man who. al though he has never seen you, feel drawn to you by the linshtp 0 thought.
 The only thing that makes . mai live forever in the hearts of his eoun trymen and his race is the good that h. does Your position in this respect f an enviableg one, and wish te extent my congratulations"
 Yours respectfully.
 E. II PRATT.
