Levi Elsey's Experience worthy Serious
Attention.
(F1ons The Detroit Ete,ti,g Nescs.)
Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from
the din and turmoil Of the business
centre, there are many attractive homes.
The intersecting streets are wide, clean
and shaded by large leaf-covered trees,
and the people you meet are typical of
industry. economy and honest toll.
There are many pretty residences. but
none more inviting in its neatness and
homelike comfort than that of Mr.. Levi
Elsey, the well-known builder and
contractor, at "a Moran street, just off
Gratiot. Mr.. Elsey is an old resident
of Detroit, having moved here about
forty years ago. He has erected hun
dreds of houses in different parts of the
city, and points with pride to such
buildings as the Newberry & Mcmillan
and Campaw blocks, in which he dis
played his ability as superintendent.
II have seen Detroit grow from a
village to CITY, he observed yester-

ested all my friends.
1T is now about eight years since I
was stricken down with my first case
of illness One cold, clustering day I
was down town and through my natu-
raj carelessness at that time per-
mitted myself to get chilled right
through. When 1 arrived home that
evening / felt a serious pain in my
left leg. bathed it that night but by
morning found it had grown worse.
In fact it was SO serious that l sent for
my family physician, and he informed
me that | was suffering from varicose
veins. My leg swelled up to double it's
natural size and the pain increased in
volume. The agony was simply awful.
l was laid up and never left my bed
for eight weeks At times l felt as
though / would grow frantic with pain.
My leg was bandaged and propped up
in bed at an agile of 80 degrees in order
to keep the blood from flowing to my
extremlties.
II had several doctors attending me,
but believe my own Judgment helped
me better than theirs After seige of
two months could move around, still
! was on the sick list and had to doctor
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.. Northrup, the Woodward
avenue merchant. In an interview
with him he stated that he had used
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
and they cured him. knew him very
we'll, having built his house out Wood
ward Ave-, and thought would follow
his suggestion. must confess | did
SO with marvellous success. From the
time began to take the Pink Pills |
felt myself growing to be new man.
They acted on me like a magical slim
ulant. The pain departed and soon
was as strong and healthy as ever.
Before trying the Pink Pills had used
any amount of other medicine without
any noticeable benefit. But the pills
cured me and Twas myself again.
when person finds himself re-
licyed and enjoying health he is apt to
expose himself again to another attack
of illness. Some three months ago ]
stopped taking the Pink Pills, and
from the day did so noticed change
in my condition. A short time since I
renewed my habit of taking them with

strong as ever, although / am man

other cases as they did in mine they

recommend them to any sufferer"
