mainder of the apple all sour, being able to cut 
bo as to separate the two flavors by the different 
colors, one being green and the other a light yel¬ 
low with the distinctive marking of the Talman 
Sweet. My father said that he caused the freak 
by splitting a bud of each variety and putting a 
half of each kind together and inserting it as one 
bud. E. c. Oil.LETT.

Half and Half. 
On my father’s farm in Ingham County, Mich., 
was a tree that bore apples one-half of each of 
which was sour, the other half sweet. The half 
that was sour was the color of a Greening, or 
dark green, the part that was sweet was quite 
light green, so that one could tell the difference at 
a glance. I do not know whether the tree is there 
now or not. m. isbell.

One of the many persons in Columbus, 
Ohio, who have been benefited by the 
use of Dr. Williams’ PiDk Pills for Pale 
People is Miss Jerusha McKinney, of 50 
South Center Street. Miss McKinney is 
well and favorably known, especially in 
educational circles, as she has been for 
a number of years, a faithful and pro¬ 
gressive school teacher. 
For some time she has been very ill 
and the sufferings and tortures endured 
by her for months have been unusually 
severe. 
The tale of her sufferings and the sub¬ 
sequent relief and final cure which she 
derived from the use of Dr. Williams’ 
Pink Pills for Pale People, aroused con¬ 
siderable agitation among her many 
friends and others. 
A reporter was detailed to obtain a 
reliable account of this marvellous case, 
and when he called he found Miss 
McKinney at her comfortable and cozy 
home where she cheerfully complied 
with his request. She said : 
“The first Indication that I had that anything was 
radically wrong with me was about three years ago. 
I suffered the most excruciating pains in different 
parts of my body and was almost crazed at times. 
My sleep was disturbed by horrible dreams and I had 
begun to waste away to almost a shadow. To add to 
my other afflictions the malady assumed a catarrhal 
turn and I was soon a victim to that horrible as well 
as disgusting disease. 1 consulted the family physi¬ 
cian who gave mo some kind of a nostrum and I was 
foolish enough to imagine that it benefited me. I 
followed the advice of the physicians but noticed no 
perceptible improvement in my condition and was 
about to despair of ever becoming a strong and well 
woman again.

“ Some of my lady friends were calling on me one 
afternoon and before them I happened to mention 
my troubles, when one of them recommended that I 
try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had 
never had any faith in medicines of that kind and 
paid but little attention to the suggestion. It was 
not long after this, however, that I again heard the 
pills highly recommended, by several persons, and 
then it was that I decided to give them a trial and 
purchased one box of the pills. 1 soon began to 
notice an improvement in my condition and before 
the whole box had been taken my health was so 
much improved, that I was about ready to begin sing¬ 
ing the praises of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale 
People. 
“ I was not yet thoroughly convinced and decided 
to wait awhile before growing enthusiastic over the 
results, and had begun on the second box before I 
was confident that I had at last found a medicine to 
meet the requirements of my case. I discontinued 
my calls to the physicians and have left them alone 
since. I am now as well and strong as ever I was In 
my life ; am entirely free from all pains and never 
felt better in my life. I eat regularly and sleep like 
a babe. No more are my slumbers haunted with 
fearful dreams and when 1 retire at night I go to 
sleep at once. I regard Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for 
Pale People as my salvation, and would recommend 
them to all ladies troubled as 1 was. The pills are 
more than what is claimed for them and anyone 
giving them a trial will soon come to the same con¬ 
clusion regarding their merits that I have.” 
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Peo¬ 
ple contain all the elements necessary 
to give new life and richness to the 
blood and restore shattered nerves. 
They are for sale by all druggists, or 
may be had by mail from Dr. Williams’ 
Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., for 
50c. per box, or six boxes for $2 50.
