for it.
preyarIcation 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 pubic.~
The Postum Company does pay out up
wards of million year for trade m
nouncements. Newspaper men belleye 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 OF not we "brihe" them.
It may have escaped notice that. we
did not 'bribe" that particular weekly.
No. g states that the amount of the
verdict, will "be devoted by the weekly
to eynosine fraud.o
This is almost real humor.
We have two suits pending against the
weekly" total, S5o0,0Oooo.
We haven't "devoted" the sum to any
particular purpose yet.
Item 10 is discovery" that wheat
bran is part of Postum.
But the criticism neglected to mention
that for years every Postum package an
nounced in plain type that the outer cov-
ering of wheat (bran), made part or 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 clement 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 CT 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 Psychological re.
lating to the preparation and digestion Of
food. Asked to name authorities studied
he mentioned six or eight from memory,
and commented on some clinical cxpe,,
rience covering several years IN annual
journeys to Europe.
Now notice the distortion. Copy from
the printed criticism.)
"He (Post) pointed out a pile Of books
in possession of his attorneys ns 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 these
editions" was asked.
'From those and various editions" an
swered Post.
The attorney picked up book after
book from the pile and showed the title
pages to the jury,-all except two had
been published since 1905"
This is an example of distortion and
false coloring to produce an unfavorable
impression.
The facts are Mr.. Post purposely intro
duced tie latest editions that could be
obtained of prominent authorities to prove
by them the truth Of his statements re.
garding appendicitis and the analysis OF
brain, also the latest conclusions in re-
gard to the action Of the digestive organs.

followed some discussion between attor

The attorney sought by every art to
impress the Jury with the fact that MT.
Posts belief in the power OF Mind In
relation to the body branded him as un-i
reliable and worse.
The following is quoted from one Of
the questions:-
(The lawyer reading from the book)

simple instrument through which the Di:
vine Principle chooses to manifest itself
by precept and example.
"Skill in mental practice is gained in

rience and the ability to evolve correct

than twenty pages daily. Afterward seek
an easy position where you will not be

For a moment the Court Room was in
absolute silence.
Mr.. Post slowly leaned forward over
the rail, pointed bis finger at the Attys
face to emphasize his reply and with eyes
that caused those of the attorney to drop
he said, Eyes, I am proud to say DID.
