and we do not hesitate to say from oul
| long knowledge of the sustaining power
| of the food that man at the end O.
sixty days would be. of practically thu
same weight. as when he started.-if he b.
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, an d
| this would be done on Grape Nuts and
milk with half the number of calories oil
butter. upon which no one can sustain
| life.
| Therefore, we have reason to believe
| that our contention is right that con
centrated food like. GrapeNuts, which
| similation by the body, presents more
nourishment that the system will alb.
| serb than many other forms of food, and
we will further say that in cases of diges.

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
vaults and kept safe to prove the truth
and are not to be delivered up on demand
| of enemies.
| Testimony at the trial brought out the
| fact that we never printed single testi-
monial 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 (l20) let
| who wrote that they had either entirely
recovered their health or been benefited
| by following our suggestions on food
and beverages.
On three or four occasions in the past
| ten or twelve years we printed broadcast
| in papers offers of prizes to users Of
| Postum and -Nuts,-two hundred
| $l00 prizes one hundred 500, twenty
| of $500 and five of $1,000 each,-stating
| that each must be an honest letter with
name and address. We agreed not to pub
| lish 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 of 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 limitation spasm.'
The tsWeekly" says: Post got those testi-
monials by advertising for them. In New
York he used for that purpose the New
York Magazine Of whose editor
is now in the Federal Penitentiary for
fraudulent use of the mails. For exam
pie, Post announced in that magazine in
1907 etc." then follows our prize COM
Petition.
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 Penitentiarv,"
ETC., something that we know nothing
Of the truth of now. and never did.
Space was bought in 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 OPP
portunity for designing writer to de-
ceive his readers.
We look upon honest human testimony
