Moran street. just off Gratiot. Nr
i.lscy is an old resident OF De-roi.
having moved here about forty year,
ago. He has erected hundreds IS
houses in different parts of the ci,y
and points with pride to such buildings
as the Newherry * Mcmillan and
Campau blocks. in which he displayed
his ability as Superintendent.
Il have see Detroit grow from q
village to a city, he observed yester.
day, in conversation with the writer
and l don't think there are manv
towns in America day equal to il in
point of beauty. lhnow almost every.
body in the city, and an incident which
recently happened in my life has in.
terested all my friends.
1T is now about eight years ago
since l was stricken down with NV
first case OF illncss. one cold, buster.
ing day | wa down town. and through
my natural carelessEess at that time
permitted myself to get chilled right
through. When | arrived home that
evening l felt a serious pain in my left
leg. | bathed it that night, but by morn.
Ing ] found it had grown worse. In
t, ct. it was SO serious hat l sent for
my family physician, and he informed
ne that | was suffering from v~aricose
veins. My leg swelled up to double
it, natural size and the pain increased
in volume. The agony was simply
awful. | was laid up and never lett
my bed for eight weeks. At times
felt as though | would grow frantic
with pain. My leg was bandaged and
was propped up in the bed at an angle
Of 30 degrees. in order to keep the
blood from flowing 10 my extremi-
tics.
Il had several doctors attending me.
but | believe my " judgment helped
me better than theirs. After a siege
OF two months | could move around:
still | was on the sick it, and had to
doctor myself for years. ] was never
really cured, and suffered any amount
Of anguish.
About two years ago I noticed an
article in the Evening News about my
friend, Mr.. Northru .. the woodward
avenue merchant. in an interview
with him he stated that ne had used
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pic. and that they cured him. | knew
III very well, having built his house
II Woodward avenue. and | thought
i would follow hi, suggestion. must
confess l did so with marvellous sue
cess. From the time | began t. take
tie Pink Pills | fet myself growing TO
be a new man. The acted on me like
IL magical stimulant. The pain de-
parted, and | soon was as strong and
healthy as ever. Before trying the
ink Pills l ha used any amount Of
other medicine without any noticeable
benefit. But the Pills cured me, and
| was myself again.
When a person finds himself re-
lieved and en-. Dying health he is apt TO
expose himself again to another at
tack of illness. some three months
ago l stopped taking the Pink Pills,
and from the day | dil 20. | noticed a
change in my condition. A hort time
since ] renewed my habit of taking
them with the SAM beneficial results
which met me form erly. | am again
nearly as strong a w although |
am a mar about - years of age. l
tell you. sir, the L nix Pills are a most
wonderful medicine. and if they do as
well in other cases "a they did in mine
they are the bes, in the world. l
freely recommend them to any SUI
fcrer."
