A disagreement about advertising arose with a "weekly" Journal. Following it, an attack on us appeared in their editorial columns sneering at the claim* we made particularly regarding Appendicitl*.

The advertisement the "weekly" attacked u* about claimed that in many case* of appen dicitis an operation could be avoided by dis continuing Indigestible food, washing out the bewels and taking a predigested food Grape Nut*. Observe we said MANY cases not all. Wouldn't that knowledge be a comfort to those who fear a surgeon'* kalfe as they fear death? The "weekly" writer said that was a lie. We replied that he was ignorant of the fact*. He was put on the stand and compelled to admit he wa* not a Dr. and had no medical knowledge of appendicitis and never investi gated to find out if the testimonal letters to our Co. were genuine. A famous surgeon testified that when an deration was required Grape-Nuts would not obviate it. True. We never claimed that when an operation was required Grape-Nuts would prevent it. The surgeon testified bacteria [germs] help ed to bring on an attack and bacteria was grown by undigested food frequently. We claimed and proved by other famou* experts that undigested food wa* largely respon*ible for appendicitis. We showed by expert testimony that many cases are healed without a knife, but by stop ping the use of food which did not digest, and when food was required again it was helpful to use a predigested food which did not over tai the weakened organs of digestion.

Some of the State chemist* brought on by the "weekly" said Grape-Nuts could not be called a "predigested" food because not all of it was digested outside the body. The other chemists said any food which had been rartly or half digested outside the body was commonly known as "predigested." Splitting hair* about the meaning of a word. It is sufficient that if only one-half of the food is "predigested." it is easier on weakened stomach and bowel* than food In which no part Is predigested. To show the facts we introduce Dr. Thos.
