From the Detroit Evening Newsl
Away out Gratiot avenue, far from the
din and turmoil Of the business center,
there are many attractive homes. The
interesting streets are wide, clean and
shaded by large leaf-covered trees, and
the people You meet are typical OF in
dustry, economy and honest toll. There
are many pretty residences, but none
more inviting in its neatness and home
like comfort than that Of Mr.. Levi FL
sey, the well-known builder and con-
tractor, ut a Moran street, just oh GrA-
tiot. MIR. Elsey is an old resident OF
Detroit, having moved here about forty
years ago. He has erected hundreds OF

As . superintendent.
II have seen Detroit grow from . vii.
lage to . city," he observed yesterday in
conversation with the writer. and
don't think there are many towns in
America to-day equal to it in point OF
beauty. l know almost every body in
the city, and an incident which recently
happened in my life has interested all
my friends.
at is now about eight years ago since
l was stricken down with my first case
OF illness. One cold, clustering day
was down town, and through my natural
carelessness at that time permitted my
self to get chilled right through. When
| arrived home that evening felt . Sc
rious pain in my left leg. bsthed it
that night, but by morning found it
had grown worse. In fact, it was 30 Sc
rious that sent for my family physi-
clan, and he informed me that I was
suffering from varicoee veins. My leg
swelled up to dou bic its natural size, and
the pain increased in volume. The ag-
ony was simply awful. l was laid up,
At times felt as though l would grow
frantic with pain. NV leg was bandaged,
and was propped up in the bed at an
angle of 30 degrees in order to keep the
blood from flowing to my extremities.
81 had several doctors attending me,
but believe my own judgment hell ped
me better than theirs. After . siege of
two months could move around; still
l was on the sick list and had to doctor
myself for years. l was never really
cured, and suffered any amount OF an
guish.
About two years ago l noticed an ar
ticle in the E,sntag N us about my
friend, Mr.. Northrup, the Woodward
avenue merchant. In an interview with
him he stated that he had used DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People and
that they cured him. l knew him very
well having built his house out W oodward
avenue, and thought would follow his
suggestion. must confess did 80 with
marvellous success. From the time l be-
gan to take the Pink Pills l felt myself
growing to be q new man. They acted
on me like . magical stimulant. The
pain departed, and / soon was rs strong
and healthy as ever. Before trying the
Pink Pills 1 had used any amount OF
other medicine without any noticeable
benefit. But the Pills cured me, and
was myself again.
when person finds himself relieved
and enjoying health he is apt to expose
himself again TO another attack of ILL.,
ness. Some three months ago stopped
taking the Pink Pills, and from the day
l did so noticed q change in my condi-
ton. A short time since l renewed nv
habit of taking them with the came ben
eticial results which met me formerly. /
am again nearly as strong az ever, al
though am q man about So years Of
age. tell you, sir, the Pink Pills are .
most wonderful medicine and if they do
as we'll in other cases as they did in mine
they are the best in the world. freely
recommend them to any sufferer"
