Some Suspicious Persons
Enquired if we were "hiring" a certain "weekly" paper to abuse us.
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.

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.

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
