YEARS AGO.
Levi Elsey's Experience Worthy Serious
Attention.

From the Detroit Evening Nelcs)
Away out Gratiot avenue, far from
the din and turmoil of the business
center, there are many attractive
homes. The intersecting streets are
wide, clean and shaded by large leaf
covered trees, and tie people you meet
are typical of industry, economy and
honest toll. There are many pretty
residences, but none more inviting in
its neatness and hcme-ike comfort
than that of MIR Levi Elsey the we'll
known builder and contractor, at "A
Moran street, just off Gratiot. Mr.
Flsey is an old resident of Detroit,
having m we'd here about forty years
ago. He has erected hundreds Of
houses in different parts of the city,
and points with pride to such buildings
as the Newberry & Mcmillan and
Campau blocks, in which he displayed
his ability as Superintendent.

village to city, he observed yester-
day, in conversation with the writer

towns in America TODAY equal to it in

my natural carelessress at that time [
permitted myself to get chilled right
through. When | arrived home that
evening | felt serious pain in my left
leg. | bathed it that night, but by morn
ing ] found it had grown worse. In
ct. it was so serious that l sent for
nay family physician, and he informed
lie that was suffering from varicOse
veins. My leg swelled up to double
its 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 80 degrees, in order to keep the
blood from flowing to my eXtremi-
ties

but | believe my own judgment helped
me- better than theirs. After a siege
OF two months [ could move around:
still was on the sick list, and had to
Dc ctor myself for years. [ was never
really cured, and suffered any amount
of anguish.
About two years ago | noticed an
article in the Evening News about my
friend, Mr.. NOrthru ,, the Woodward
avenue merchant. In an interview
with him he stated that he had used
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie. and that they cured him. | knew
him very well having built his house

ink Pills | hal used any amount &
other medicine without any noticeable
benefit. But the Pills cured me- and

lieved and en- oEirg health he is apt to
expose himself again to another at

ago [ stopped taking the Pink Pills,
and from the day did so, I noticed a
change in my condition. A short time
since 1 rencwad my habit Of taking
them with the same beneficial results
which met me formerly. I am again
nearly a. strong as ever, although I
am man about IS years of age. I
