Physiological Chemistry, by Haaunaw sten. , Biochemic System of Medicine, hgi Carey. 4 The "Weekly” carefully eliminates front its printed account testimony regarding the years of research and study by Mr. Post in fitting himself for his work, and would lead the reader of the distorted article to believe that his education began since 1906. , Distortion No. 12 reports Mr. Post as a “dodging witness." His eye is not of the shifty kind oh* served in the head of one of his chief critics. On the witness stand Mr. Post looks quietly but very steadily straight into the eyes of the haggling, twisting lawyer, trying by all bis art to ask double* barreled questions and bull-doze and confuse a witness.' The '“dodging” it seems consisted el replying, “I don't know." Opposing counsel holds a hook in hit hand while he queries,— T want to know if there is a singla thing in your whole book here that suggests any particular kind of food.” Then followed some discussion between attorneys.

The thoughts from Divine Universal Mind come as winged angels and endow yeri with a healing power. If you go into the silence humble snd trusting, you will coma out enriched and greatly strengthened id body by contact even for a short time with the Father of all life and all power. You will feel refreshed in every way and* food taken will digest readily as the stomach works smoothly when under the influence of a Higher Power.” "I ask you if you did not write that, and if you did not believe it when yo® wrote ii” 1 ' / ’ . For a moment the Court Room was ini absolute silence. Mr. Poet slowly leaned forward over, the rail, pointed his finger at the A tty's face to emphasise hip reply, and with eyes that caused those of the Attorney to drW ho mid, “Yes, I am proud to say I did”
