sixty days would be Of practically tn,
same weight'a when he started, --if he b.
a man Of normal weight.
We will suppose that from his worl

pound each day from food. If that prem
ise proved TO be true the man in sixty
days time would make sixty pounds OF
tissue to replace what had been lost, and
this would be done on Grape Nuts and
milk with half the number OF ealories Of
butter, upon which no one can sustain
life.
Therefore, we have reason to believe
that our contention is right that con
eentrated food like Grape Nuts. which
is partly dgested and ready for easy as
similation by the body. presents more
nourishment that the system will alb
snrb than many other forms Of food, and
we will further say that in cases of diges,
tive troubles where meat, white bread
and oats cannot be digested that Grape.
Nuts and milk contain more nourish-
ment that the system will absorb than
many pounds of these other foods.

timonials were practically all paid for
and rewritten in Battle Creek.
These testimonials were demanded by
the opposing lawyers. Naturally this
demand was refused for they are held in

Testimony at the trial brought out the
fact that we never printed single testi-

came Spontaneously. A record was kept

name and address We agreed not to pub
fish names, but to furnish them to en-
quirers by letter. These letter writers
very generally answered those who wrote
to them, and verified the truth CT the
statements.
Under this agreement not to publish
names literally scores of letters came
from doctors We kept our word and
neither printed their names or surren-
dered the letters.
Right here notice an "imitation spasm."
The Weekly" says: POST got those testi-
monials by advertising for them. In New
York he used for that purpose the New

is now in the Federal Penitentiary for
fraudulent use of the mails. For exam

We used nearly all Of the papers and
fnagazines in Now York and the rest Of
America, but the sensational writer gives

portunity for a designing writer to de-
ceive his readers.
We look upon honest human testimony
