Of course every time a spot light is turned on from any source t offers a splendid chance to talk about the fherits of the products, put 'pon honor now, we are not hiring that "Weekly." The general reader seldom cares much for the details of "scraps." A few may have read lately some articles attacking us and may be interested in the following: Some time ago a disagreement arose with a "Weekly." They endorsed our foods by letter, but wanted to change the form of advertising, to which we objected. The "Weekly" discontinued inserting our advertisements while they were negotiating for some changes they wanted in the word ing and shapeof the advertisements, and during this correspondence our manager gave instructions to our Advertising Department to quit advertising altogether in that "Weekly." Quite a time after the advertising had been left out, an editorial attack came. We replied in newspapers and the scrap was on. Then came libel suits from both sides, and some harsh words. Generally tiresome to the public. That "Weekly" has attacked many prominent men and repu table manufacturers. Our Company seems prominent enough for a sensational writer to go after, hunt for some little spot to criticise, then distort, twist and present it to the public under scare heads. So an attorney from New York spent more or less time for months in Battle Creek hoping to find impurities in our foods, or dirt in the factories. After tireless spying about he summoned ,twenty-five of our workmen and took their testimony. Every single one testified that the foods are made of exactly the ftrain and ingredients printed on the uackages; the wheat, barley and corn being the choicest obtainable?all thoroughly cleaned?the water of the purest, and every part of the factories and machinery kept scrupulously clean. / That all proved disappointing to the "Weekly." There are very few factories, hospitals, private?or hotel and restaurant kit chens that could stand the close spying at unexpected times and by an enemy paid to find dirt or impurities of some kind. In any ordinary kitchen or factory he would find something to magnify and make a noise about. But he failed utterly with the Postum Works and products. Twenty to thirty thousand people go through the factories annual ly and we never enquire whether they arc there to spy or not. It makes no difference to us. He next turned to discover something about our advertising that could be criticized. An analysis of the methods and distorted statements of the "Weekly" may interest some readers, so we take up the items one by one and open them out for inspection. We will "chain up" the harsh words and make no reference in this article to the birth, growth and methods of the ''Weekly" but try to coufine the dis cussion to the questions now at issue. Some Facts Battle Creek, Michigan, December 30, 1910, We the undersigned certify that never to our knowledge hat ? testimonial letter been printed by the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., which did not have behind it a genuine tetter signed, and believed to be an honest statement. ' ? ' / . ;?!?? > Tv.V;, ?? To the best of our knowledge and belief the Company has re ceive upwards of fifty thousand (50,000) genuine testimonial letters. This company has never knowingly made nor permitted an untruthful statement regarding Its products or its methods. M. K. HOWE, Treasurer. (With Company about 14 yeara) L. J. LAMSON, Inspector of Advts. (With Company about gU F. C. GRANDIN, Advertising Manager. (With Company about *3 R. M. STERRETT, M. D., Physician in charge of I (With Compan; CHESTON SYER, Advt. Writer.

(With Company about 7 C. W. POST, Chairman. (With Company 16 years, from the beglai^iaf.) : Distortion NO. 1 stated that we have been accustomed to advertise Grape-Nuts and PoBtum as "cure-alls for everything." It has never been the policy of this Company to advertise Grape-Nuts or Pos tuin to core anything. w We say that in cases where coffee disa grees and is causing t sickness its dismissal will remove the cause of the trouble, and we Rugne"t lhe iiseofPoatum for the reason that it furnishes a hot palatable morning beverage, and contains natural elements from the grain which can be used by nature to assist in rebuilding nerve centers that coffee may have broken down. ? Likewise Grape-Nuts food does not cure anything, but it does assist nature tremendously in rebuilding, provided the undigestible food that has been used Is discontinued and Grape-Nuta taken in its place. Charge No. 2 states that the passage of the National Food & Drugs Act com pelled us to drop from the packages somo assertions regarding the nutritive value of Grape-Nuts. We "Kave*" never been " "compelled" to make any change. Since the beginning It has been a univer sal rule to print clearly on every package exactly what the contents are made of. Before the passage of the Pure Food Law the packages stated that Grape-Nufci food was made of wheat and barley. We did not esteem the small amount of salt and yeast as of value enough to speak . of, .but after the new Law came in we became as technical as the offi cials at Washington and added the words "yeast" and "salt." although we have no recollection of being asked to. We ^believed that oar statement that Grape-Nuts will supply elements to nour ish the brain and nerre centers is true and bring authorities to support the fact. Some state chemists believed this a gross exaggeration and inasmuch as the Food Sapt....4&.. Washington could easily harass grocers, pending a trial on the disputed question, we concluded that much the better, way would be to elim inate from our packages such claims, however certain we may be that the claims are true. Another statement objected to read as follows: "The svstem will nW^rb a greater amount of nourishment from one pound of Grape-Nuts than from ten pounds cf meat, wheat, oats, or bread." Some Department chemists deceive themselves as well as the public. "Caloried" is the word which defines a unit of heat determined by the amount necessary to raise one kilogram of water one degree centigrade. On this basis a table ot calories is prepared showing the Ssrcentage of different kinds of food. utter shows 8.00; Grape-Nuta 3.90; milk 0.70. Remember the statement on the package spoke of the nourishment ths Sstem would absorb, but "did not speak ot a calories of heat contained in it, for tha heat is not nourishment, and the nourishment cannot be judged by the number of heat unite, notwithstanding the fact that certain chemists would hava the publlo believe ao. As an illustration: Attempt to feed a _un sixty daya on butter alone, with its 8.00 calories. The man would die be man sixty days on butter alone, with its 8.60 calories. The roan would die be ^fora the experiment had run sixty days. Then, take Grape-Nuta with 8.98 and milk with 0.70,?the two combined equal 4.88?about one-half the number of calo ^iv^divlT^n^lbU^&d T?ou?dtnhi*J!35 tuty days on tnll toon would no wen sixty daya on thie food would be well pooriabed, and could lire not only sixty days, bat 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 bo of practically the same weight ax when he started,?if he bo a man of normal weight. We will suppose that from hU work he lost a pound a day and made up t> 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, and this would be done on Grape-Nuts and milk with half the number of calories of butter, upon which no one can sustain life.' Therefore, we hava reason to believe that our contention la right that con centrated food like GrApe-Nuts, which is partly digested and ready for easy as similation by the body, presents more nourishment that the system will nl> sorb than many other forms of food, and we will further say that in cases of diges tive troubles where meat, white bread and oats cannot be digested, that Grape Nuta and milk contain more nourish ment that the system will absorb than many pounds of these other foods. Dlatortlon No. 3 charges that onr tes timonials were practically all paid, for ?rfd re-written in Battle Creek. These .testimonials were demanded bv the opposing lawyers. Naturally thu 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 a 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,. (1204) let ters received in one month from people 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 prises to users of Postum and Grape-Nuts,?two hundred $1.00 prizes, one hundred $2.00, twenty of $5.00 and five of $10.00 each.?st?tine thit each must b* an honest lcttfTSTtg name and address. We airreed not to nub* IGT 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 camo from doctors. We kept our word and neither printed their names or surren dered the letters. Right hero notice an "imitation spasm." The "Weekly" says: "Post got those testi monials by advertising for them. In New York he used for that pntyosi the New York Magazine of whose editor is now in the Federal Penitentiary for fraudulent use of the mails. For exam ple, Post announced in that magazine in 1007. etc.," (then follows our prlxe com petition). We used pear)y all of jfre ?am fqd mapaiines m Nfiw y9rk and the reaFof America, but the sensational writer gives the impression to his readers that the only magaxine we used waa one "whose editor ia now Tn the Federal Penitentiary." etc., something that we know nothing of the truth of now. and nerer did. Space waa bought in the magaxine spoken of on a business baais for the reason that it went to a good class of readers. The incident seems to have furnished an op portunity for a designing writer to de ceive his readers. We look upon honest human testimony trom men and women as to tba means by which they recovered health as of tre mendous value to those in search of it. Our business has been conducted from the very first (lay upon lines of strict integ rity and we heVer yet have published a false testimonial of human experience. Many of these letters covered numerous sheets; some, if printed, would spread over half a page of newspaper. It wc would attempt to print one such letter in every one of the thousands of papers-and magazines we use, the cost for printing that one letter would run into many thou sands of dollars. We boil,down these letters exactly as a newspaper writer boils his news,?stick ing sacredly to the important facts nnd 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 responsibility, but notice the art of the -twister" in the way he presents to his readers this matter of testimonials. Distortion No. 4. This Is a bad one. It Mads as follows: "The only famous physician whoso name w>f signed to a testimonial was produced in Court bv Colliers and turned out to be a poor old brokendown homeopath, who is now work ing In a printing establishment. He re ceived ten dollars ($10.00) for writing his testimonial." We will wager ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) with any investigator that we have, subject to inspection of any fair committee, upwards of three hundred (300) communications from physician?, many of them expressing the highest com mendation of our products, but these will not now or ever oe turned over to the publisher for hit use. Notice the/i statement in this charge: "The only famous physician whose name was signed to Postum testimonial, etc." ?? The truth is, this Dr. Underwood wns one of a great many physicians who have not only written commendatory words about the value of our foods, but every now artd then some physician writes an article on coffee or on food, and sends it to us with a suggestion of compensation for his ~ Hme~ an<i medical knowledge. Previous to the time when wo employed physicians in our own business, wo oc casionally employed a doctor to write an article on coffee, always insisting that the article be an honest expression of his opinion and research. The "Weekly" hunted up this physician, and because he seemed to he poor, nnd as it says, "brokendown," had him brought to Court to be exposed before a Jury as the "onlv physician that had ever endorsed Grape-Nuts," hut much to the chagrin of the "Weekly," when our attor neys asked him if the articlo he wrote about coffee was true he replied, "yes." Statement No. B reads: "The health officers of Mich., Maine, Fenn., New Hamp., and other states in their official bulletins have for years been denouncing as preposterous ana fraudulent the claims mi^de by the Postum Cereal Company." We do not recall any criticism except from Mich., Penn., Maine and S. Dakota. r- The average reader might think that the opinions expressed by the State Qffi eUlr are always correct, but that con elusion is not Dorne out by facts. As an illustration: About thirteen years ago the Dairy and Food Commission of Michigan for soma personal reason printed a severe criticism on us for making Pos turn of Barley (according to his official chemist) at market price and selling too high. He was shown there was never a grain of hefty used in Postum. His re port was false and misleading. The gov ernor dismissed him. W? believe that most of the state ? - ? ? ourselves by placing facts before that great Jury?The Public. ?A^sdoi >ou4|k<S fer courts^ We decision* of our American Triton : v & &rt> ?.. \ ? They are for libd officials are honest, and oft the other hand we are firmly convinced that some of their conclusions cannot ho substan tinted by facts in scientific research. They never criticize the nurity of our foods, for bo much we arc thankful. If our conclusions in regard to its be* ing a brain food differ from theirs, and we are both honest, they have rather the advantage, because under the law they can order us to eliminate from the,pack age any statement if it disagrees wijLh their opinion. Otherwise they would harass grocers. Spasm No. 6 aayat "The most dan gerous thing in the world for one threat ened with appendicitis is to eat any food whatever. Notwithstanding ho knew that danger, C. W. Post advertised <}r?pe-Nutf? at fifteen ccntir a package for those so threatened." : *-* This is intended to muddle the reader into believing that we put out Grape-Nuts as a euro for appendicitis. _ _ ?: " ? I Mr. Post, himself, ha* had probably as wide experience as any other man in America in the study and observation of food as relate^ to the digestive organs, and we proved,in Court by the physicians and surgeons bn the Witness stand that the predominating cause of appendicitis is undigested food, and thai it is neces sary to quit eating food, and when the body requires food again, u6e a pre-di gested food, or at least one easy of diges tion. Dr. Ochsner in his work on appendicitis refers directly to the use of the well known pre-digested foods that can be obtained on the market. He also brought out the interesting fact that ,In "after treatment" it is advantageous to take on a pre-digested food. The price of' the package (referred to by the weekly) is not known by us to have any relation to the question. Our advice to stop using indigestible food in bowel troubles and to use Grape Nuts food has been a great blessing to tens of thousands of people, and we nope ?will continue to bless a good maajr more in the succceding years. No. 7 is a live wire. It refers to C. W. Post and his studies and experience in "Suggestive Therapeutics." or "Mental IJealmg" which further lead to a most careful and systematic study of the ef fect of the mind on the digestive and oth er organs of the body. Tie attended clinick in Europe and fitted himself for a future career in which he has become known as one of the food experts of the world, fitted to judgo both from th* material as well as tne mental side of the question For about eight years previous to 1891 he was an invalid. In that year, after being under the care of several well known physicians, he was quickly healed, by what to him was a curious and not well-understood method. Sufficient to My he became a well man, weighing about 185 pounds. This experience challenged his investi gation into causes of disease end their amelioration. Those studio* and experi ences developed a very profound revsr once f?r a Supreme Power which directly operates upon the hutnan beinfR, and this reverence f^jhg W*me to him a form of religion which included honestr of purpose towards his fellow-man. -A statement which will be indorsed by every one who knows him cloaefy; He will make a public announcement in detail of these facta, and the Postum Company will cause that statement to be published in newspapers and magaainee in due time. We WKRMt the reader look for it. Preverlettlon No. 8. "Post spends nearly a million a year in advertising and relie* on that to keep out of the news Impers the dangerous nature of the fraud 10 is perpetrating on the. public." Thft Postum Company does pay out up vards of a million r year for trade an* nouncements. Newspaper min believe our ukUincnU trutbiuf or they would not print them. I^rge numbers of newspa per men use our product*. They are capable of tolling the public whether or not wf "frrib?" thyiq, It may have escaped notice that we did not "bribe" that particular weekly. No. 0 states that the amount of the verdict will "be devoted by the 'weekly' to e\no?ing fraud. This i? almost real humor. We have two suits pending against the "weekly," total, $500,000.00. - We haven't "devoted" the euro to any particular purpose yet. Item 10 I# a "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 cov ering of wheat (bran), made pert of the beverage. They ignorantly fell Into a 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 "w?eat wan." 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 eome laughable blunders through ignor ance, but?be patient. Item 11 is an illustration of the squirm ing and twisting of the sensational writer delivering distorted matter to his read* era. While on the witness stand Mr. Post testified to his studies In Anatomy, Physi ology, Dietetics and Psychology,?all re lating to the preparation and digestion of food. Asked to name authorities studied he mentioned iix or eight from memory, and commented on some clinical expe rience covering several years in annual journeys to Europe. Now notice the distortion. (Copy from the printed criticism.) "lie (Post) pointed out a pile of books In possession of his attorneys as the very ones ho had read." (Notice.?"the very ones he had read," leading tne reader to believe that they were tne only ones.) "Did you consult the books from tbeso editions}" was asked. , "From those *nd various editions," an ewered Post. The attorney "picked up book after book from the pile and showed the title Kges to the Jury,?all except two had en published since 1905." This is an example of distortion and false coloring to produce an unfavorable impression. The^acta are Mr. Post purposely intro duced the late*t editions that could be obtained of prominent authorities to prove by them the truth of hia statements re Earding appendicitis and the analyaie of rain, also tho latest conclusions in re card to the action ef the digestive organ*.
