tried every remedy known, w ithout effect,
except Gilliland's Pain Killer, ho was
finally induced to try it. A second applica

is a living monument of tho efl'aeacy of
that great medical discovery, Gilliland's

The Columbus (Ky.) Diralch says:
"Henry Winston is a mulatto resident
of this place. lie wits born in North
Carolina, and is now about fifty year
of age, according to his own count.
About seven years ago Henry s skin
commenced turning white, assuming
the lighter color and clear transparent
hue cummon to the Catisasian race,
since which time his skin has been
gradually changing until he is now
about two'third white, and he is as
spotted as any leopaid. The change,
as we stated, has been going ou grad
ually, but without any regularity as
to locality. Spots on his hands, arms,
face and body are of as clear a color
at that ortny European, while tho
surrounding spots are iu some places
almost ulacK, in others brown, anil
Btill others of a light yellow, the dif
ferent shades marking the different de
grees of progress of the change. Tho
changed part of his skin, while pos
sessing the clear, rosy tiut of the Cau
casian, retains' the Appearance of
coarseness eommou to the African race,
but is extremely sensitive to the light
and heat of the sun, Tho health of
this person has been uniformly good,

"what a figure Sally will cut at the
resurrection without any back breadth
in her gown ?"
