S35tlnS that the article be all honest expression of his opinion and re search.
 The Weekly" hunted up this phys sician, and because he seemed to be poor, and as it says, "brokendoWn, had him brought to Court to be eX- posed before a jury as the "onlv physician that had ever endorsed Grape-Nuts,' but much to the cha grin of the "Weekly," when our at torneys asked him if the article he VT te about coffee was true. he re piled yes
 SENTIMENT NO. ,. reads: .The health off cers of Mich, Maine, Penn New Hamp., and other states in their official bulletins have for years been denouncing as preposterous and frau dulent the ella ms made by the Postum Cereal Company We do not recall any criticism except from Mich, Penn., Maine and S. Dakota
 The average reader might think that tht opinions expressed by the State Officials ate always correct, but that conelus on is not borne out by facts
 As an illustration: About thirteen years ago the Dairy and Food Com mission of Michigan for some person al reason printed severe critic sm on us for making Postum of Barley ( according to his official chemist at market price and sell ing 100 high lie was shown there was never d grain of barley used in Postum. His report was false and misleading. The governor dismissed him.
 We believe that most of the state offic als are honest, and on the oth- CT hand we are firmly convinced that some of their conclusions cannot be substantiated by facts ill scientific research.
 They never crit else the purity of our foods, for so much we are thank full
 If our conclusions in regard to it's being a brain food differ from the;rs and we are both honest, they have rather the advantage, because under the law they can order us to elimi- nate from the package any statement if it disagrees with their opn on Otherwise they would harass grocers.
 SPASM NO. SAYS: "The most dangerous thing in the world for one threatened with appendicitis is to eat any food whatever. Notwithstanding he knew that danger, c. w. Post ad- vertlsed GrapeNuts at fifteen cents package for those so threatened" :"
 This is intended to muddle the read CT into believing that we put out Grape-Nuts as a cure for appendi- citis.
 MT. Post himself has had probably as w.de experience as any other man in America in the study and obser- Vation of food as related to the diges- tive organs, and we proved in Court by the physicians and surgeons on the witness stand that the predomi- nat ng cause of appendicitis is undi- gested food, and that it is necessary to quit eating food, and when the body requires food again, use a pre- digested food, or at least one easy ot digestion.
 Dr. Ochsner iii his work on appen- citis refers directly to the use of the well known pre-digested foods that can be obtained on the mar ket. He also brought out the inter- esting fact that in after treatment" it is advantageous to take on d pre- digested food.

got those testimonials by advertising for them. In New York he used for that purpose the New York Magazine of--Whose editor is now ill the Federal Penitentiary for fraudulent use of the mails For example, Post announced in that magazine in 135 t etc." (then follows our prize compe- tition).
 We used nearly all of the papers and magazines in New York and the rest of America, but the sensational writer gives the impression to his readers that the only magazine We used was one whose editor is now in the Federal Penitentiary, etc.. something that we know nothing o1 the truth of now, and never did. Space was bought n the magazine spoken of on business basis for the reason that it went to good class of readers The incident seems to have furnished an opportunity for | designing writer to deceive his read- CTS.
 We look upon honest ndman teStt- mony from men and women as to the means by which they recover health as of tremendous value to those lo eearch of it. Our business has been conducted from the very first day up on lines of strct integrity and we never yet have published a false tea- timonial of human experience. Many of these letters covered numerous sheets; some, if printed, would spread over half page of newspaper. II we would attempt to print one such letter in every one of the thousands of papers and magaz nes we use, ths cost for printing that one lette. would run into many thousands O. dollars.
 We boil down these letters exactly as newspaper writer boils his news. st cking sacredly to the important facts and eliminating details about the family and other unimportant matters This work of boiling down, or editing, is done honestly and with a full knowledge of our responsible ity, but notice the art of the twist ter" in the way he presents to his readers this matter of testimon als.
 DISTORTION NO. f. This is a bad one It reads as follows: The only famous physician whose name was signed to a testimonial was produced III Court by Golfers and turned out to be a poor old brokendown home opath, who is now working in print ing establishment. He received ten dollars ($10.00) for writing his testl- monial"
 We will wager ten thousand dol lars ($1O,000) with any investigator that we have, subject to inspection of any fair committee, upwards oi three hundred (300) communicat ons from physicians. many of them ex- pressing the highest commentators of our products, but these will not now or ever be turned over to the publisher for his use
 Notice the statement in ths charge: "The only famous physician whose name was signed to Postum testimc- nial, etc.
 The truth is, this Dr. Underwood was one of a great many physicians who have not only WI tten commen- datory words about the value of our foods, but every now and then some physician writes an article on cofte9 or on food, and sends it to us with a suggestion of compensation for his time and medical knowledge. P"e- vous to the time when we employed physicians in our own business. W occasionally employed a doctor to write an article on coffee, always in

on that for years every Postum package announced in plain type that outer covering of wheat Cbram made part of the beverage
 They ignorantly fell into trap here, not knowing enough of food value to know that "Taka-Disastasc the article used by physicians the world over for starch ind gestion' is made from wheat bran "
 So We used that part Of the wheat berry because il contains the ele- ment needed to develop the valuable diastaSe ill manufacture Good Pos tum is impossible without this part
 These self appo nted critics do make some Imaginable blundera through ignorance, but=be patient
 ITEM II IS an illustration of the sQulfmlng and twisting of the sell aatonal WI ter delivering distorted matter to hls readers
 While on the w.tness stand Mir Post testified to his studies in Ana jomy, Physiology, Dictctics and Psy- chology,= ali relating to the prepara ton and q gestion of food Asked tG name authorities studied he men toned six or eight from memory and commented on some clinical expert ence covering several years Il an nual journeys to Europe.
 Now notice the distortion Copy from the printed cfitieiSm)
 
 "ile PosD pointed out a pile O. books in possess on of his attorneys as the very ones he had read"
 tNotice,-"the very ones he had read" leading the reader to believe that they were the only ones.)
 Did you consult the books from these editions?' was asked.
 Prom those and various editions" :" answered Post.
 The attorney picked up book after book from the D le and showed the title pages to the jury.-all except two had been published since 1905. :" This is an example of distortion and
 
 able impression.
 The facts are Mir. Post purposely introduced the latest ed tions that could be obtained of prominent au- thorities to prove by them the truth of his statements regarding appendi- citis and the analysis of bra Il, also the latest conclusions in regard te the action of the digestive organs. These works are:
 Human Physiology, by Raymond.
 Physiological Chem stry, by Simon Digestive Glands, by Pawlow.
 Hand Book of Appendicitis, by Ochsner.
 Physiological Chemistry, by Ham, marsten
 Biochem'c System of Medicine, by Carey.
 The Weekly" carefully eliminates from it's printed account, testimony regarding the years of research and study by MT. Post in fitting himself for his work, and would lead the reader of the distorted article to be- lieve that his education began since 19O5

 NO. is q i've wire It rtfers to c. w. Post and his studies and eX- perience in Suggestive Therapeu- ties or Mental Healing which fur ther lead to a most careful and sys- temat}c study of the effect of the mint! on the digestive and other organs of the body.
 He attended clinics in Europe and fitted himself for future career 3a which he has become known as oao of the food experts of the world, fit ted to judge both from the material as well as the mental de of the question.
 For about eight yaalS previous to 1891 he was an invalid m thal year, after being under Che care 0l several Well-knoWn physicians he was quickly healed, by what to him N5t5 st curl i0us and not Wcll-undersLo} }d method. Sufficient to say ne becdlao a well man. weighing about 1Sa pounds.
 This experience challenged his in- veStigation into causes of q sease and their ameloration. Those studies amt experiences developed a very pro found reverence for a Supreme Pow CT which directly operates upon the human being. and th $ reverence for the Infinite became to him form of religion which included honesty of purpose towards his felowman. A statement which will be indorSed by everyone who knows him closely.
 He will make d public announce ment in detail of these facts, and the PoStum Company will cause that statement to be published in news papers and magazines n due time. We suggest the reader look for it.
 PREVARICATION NO. s. Post spends nearly a million year in advertising and relies on that to keep out of the newspapers the dang erous nature of the fraud he is per petrating on the public"
 The POStum Company does pay out upwards of a III llion a year for trad :; announcements. Newspaper men be- lieve our statements truthful or they would not print them. Large num- bers of newspaper men use our pro- ducts.
 They are capable of telling the nub lie whether or not we "hr be- them
 It may have escaped notice that WS did not ''bribe" that particular week ly.
 NO. 3 states that the amount of the verdict will "be devoted by the weekly to exposing fraud '
 This is almost real humor.

 As an illustrations: Attempt to feed man sixty days on butter alone. with it's S.60 calories. The man would die before the experiment had run sixty days.
 Then. take Grape-Nuts with 3.96 and milk with 0.70Athe two combin ed equal 4.66-about one-half of the number of calories contained ill but ter The man fed for sixty days on this food would be well nourished, and could live not only sixty days, but six months on that food alone, and we do not hesitate to say from our long knowledge of the sustaining power of the food that a man at the end of sixty days would be of prac- tcally the same weight as when he started-if he be a man of normal weight.
 We will suppose that from his work he lost a pound a day and made uc a pound each day from food. Ii that premise proved to be true the ma!t in sixty days time would make sixty pounds of tissue to replace what had been lost, and this would be done oH Grape-Nuts and milk with half the number of calories of butter, upon which no one can sustain life.
 Therefore, we have reason to be- lieve that our contention is right that concentrated food like Grape Nuts, which is partly digested and ready for easy assimilation by the body, presents more nourishment that the system will absorb than many other forms of food, and we will fur ther say that in cases of digestive 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.
 DISTORTION NO. 5. charges that our testimonials 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 vaults and kept safe to prove the truth. and are not to be delivered up on demand of enemies.
 Testimony at the trial brought cut the fact that we never printed a single testimonial that we did not have the genuine letter back of. Many of these letters came spontaneously. A record was kept of twelve hundred and four 1204) letters received in one month from people who wrote that they had either entirely recovered their health or been benefited by following our suggestion of food and beverages.
 On three or four occasions in the past ten or twelve years we printed broadcast in papers offers of prlzes to users of Postum and Grape-Nuts. two hundred $1.00 prizes, one hum dred $2OO, twenty of $500 and five of $1O0O each,-stating that each must be an honest letter with name and address. We agreed not to pub fish names, but to furnish them to enuuirers by letter. These letter writers very generally answered those who wrote to them, and verl- fled the truth of the statements.
 Under this agreement not to pup fish names literally scores Of letters came from doctors. We kept our Wofd and neither printed their names or surrendered the letters.
