"Apple a Day"

[Douglas G. Wilson]

>Here's a food-related question for Barry and others:  Can anyone find "an
>apple a day keeps the doctor away" before 1905?

_Anaconda [MT] Standard_, 23 Dec. 1900: p. 23, col. 5:

<<An old saying has it that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," and if
so a bottle of good cider taken regularly at luncheon should make the
medical profession superfluous.>>
