in due time. We suggest the reader look
for it.
PrevarIcatlo No. 8. 'Post spends
nearly million 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 "bribe" them.
ft may have escaped notice that we
did not "bribe" that particular weekly.
No. 9 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, 100000.
We haven't devoted the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is discovery" that wheat
bran is a part Of Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an
nounced in plain type that the outer COW
ering of wheat (bran), made part Of the
beverage.
They ignorantly fell into trap here,
not knowing enough of food value to know
that 'Taka-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
to 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.
ance, 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 Psychology re-
lating to the preparation and digestion o.
| food Asked to name authorities studied
he mentioned six or eight from memory
| and commented on some clinical expe
rience covering several years in annua
| journeys to Europe.
Now notice the distortion. Copy from
the printed criticism.)
"He POST pointed out pile Of book
| in possession of his attorneys as the very
ones he had read"
Notice, --"the very ones he had read,
leading the reader to believe that they
were the only ones.)
'Did you consult the books from thes'
editions~ was asked.
From those and various editions" an
swered Post.
The attorney picked up book aftei
book from the pile and showed the it'll
pages to the jury,-all except two haC
been published since 1905"
This is an example of distortion anc
false coloring to produce an unfavorabl'
impression.
The facts are Mr.. Post purposely intro
duced the latest editions that could b
obtained Of prominent authorities to prove
by them the truth Of his statements re
garding appendicitis and the analysis o
brain, also the latest conclusions in re
gard to the action Of the digestive organs
These works are:
Human Physiology, by Raymond.
| Physiological Chemistry, by Simon.
| Digestive Glands, by Pawlow.
