following it an attack on us appeared in their editorial columns sneering at atthe the claims we made particularly re regarding girdIng appendicitis wo we replied through the regular papers and the weekly thought we hit bade baci rather too hard bard and thereupon sued sited for or libel the advertisement the tha weekly attacked us about claimed that in many cases of appendicitis an operation could be avoided by discontinuing indigestible food washing out the bowels and taking a predigested food observe we said MANY cases not all that knowledge be a comfort to those who fear a surgeons knife as aa they fear death tito weekly writer said that was waa a lie we replied that he was ignorant ot of the facts acts ile he was put on the stand and compelled to admit he was waa riot not a dr and had no medical knowledge of appendicitis and never investigated to lind find out it if the testimonial monal letters to our co were genuine A famous burgeon testified that when an operation was required grape nuts would not obviate it true we never claimed that when an operation was required grape nuts would prevent it tho the surgeon te testified stifled gonns germ helped lp to bring on an attack and bacteria was grown by undigested fool frequently we claimed and proved by other famous experts that undigested food was largely responsible for appendicitis we showed by export expert testimony that many cases are heated healed without a knife but by stopping the tha use of food which did not digest and when food was waa required again it was waa helpful to use a predigested predl

plain common sense shows the better way Is to stop food that evidently has not been digested then when too fool 1 Is required use an easily digested food crape nuts or any other if you know it to bo
