The Brunswick news. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 1906-2016, 1911-01-29

We look upon honest human testi-
mony from men and women as to the
means by which they recovered health
as ty tremendous value to those in
search of it. Our business has been
conducted from the very first day
upon lines of strict integrity and we
never yet have published false testi-
monial of human ex0efien,a. Many
or these letters covered numerous
sncets; some, Of printed, would
sl1ead over half page OF newspaper.
IT we would attempt to print ore such
letter in every one D: the thousands
OF papers and magazines we use, the
cost of printing that one letter would
run into many thous Ands of dcl!;ds.
We boil down these letters exactly
as newspaper writer boils his news,
sticking sacred!y 20 me important
facts and eliminating details atout the
family and Ot1rs u1lnpCrtant mat
tiers. This work CT boiling down, or
editing, is done n9sely, nd VT,
full knowledge of our responsibility,
but notice the nrt CT the "sviginr" in
the way he presents to his readers
this matter OF t+astim onials.
Distortion Mo. a. This is :, bad one
1t reads as follows: The cnly famous
physician whose name was signed TO
a testimonial was produced in court
by Golfers and turncd out to be a
poor old brokendown hCmeopath, who
is now working in a printing estaE-
lishment. He received ten dollars
$4,000 for writing his testimonial.
We will wager ten thousand dollars
($10,000.00) with any in yestigaor
that we have, subject to inspection
Of any fair committee, upwards of
three hundred 5000 Communications
from physicians, many Of them ex-
pressing the highest commentator
of our products, but these will not
now or ever he turned over TO the
publisher for his use.
Notice the statement in this charge:
THE only famous physician wose
name was signed to Postum testimo-
nal, etc"
The truth is, this DR.. Underwood
was one Of great many physicians
Woo have not only written conlmenda-
tory words about the value of our
foods, but every now and then some
physician writes an article on coffee
or on food, and sends it to us with a
suggestion of compensation for his
time and medical KNOWLEDGE. 2r
GUS to the time when we employed
, physicians in our own business, we
occasionally employed doctor to
write an article on coffee, always in
sisdng that the article be an honest
! expression of his opinion and re-
/ search.
Tie weekly" hunted up this ply
stefan and because he seemed to be
poor, and as it says, ''brolendown,'
had him brought to court to be expos
ed before jury as the only physi.
clan that had ever endorsed Grape
/ Nuts" but much to the cAagrin of the
weekly when our attorneys asked
him if the article he wrote about
coffee was true he replied, yes"
Statement no. s reads: The health
officers of Mich, Maine, Penn. New
Hmnp, and other states in their OF
fetal bulletins have for yearaAbeer
F., denouncing as preposterous~ and
fraudulent TIE claims made by the
Postum Cereal Company We do not
recall any criticism except fro m8Iich
Penn, Maine and S. Dakota.
The average reader might thinI

state officials are always correct. but
that conclusion is not borne out by
facts.
As an illustration: About thirteen
years ago the Dairy and Food Com
