Away out Gratiot avenue, far from
the din and turmoil of the business
center, there are many attractive
homes. The intersecting streets arc
wide, clean and shaded by large leaf
covered trees, and the people you meet
ure 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 we'll
known builder and contractor, at "a
Moran street, Just of Gratiot Mr.
Elscy Is an old resident Of Detroit,
having moved 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
Campaw blocks, in which he displayed
his ability rs superintendent.
Il have seen Detroit grow from q
village to city," he observed yester-
day in conversation with the writer,
land l don't think there are many
towns In America to-day equal to 1t
in point of beauty. I know almost ev-
erybody In the city, and an incident
which recently happened in my life
has interested all my friends.
"It is now about eight years ago
since l was stricken down with my
first case of illness. One cold, bluster-
ing day was down town, and through
my natural carelessness at that time
permitted myself to get chilled right
through. When l arrived home that
evening 1 felt n serious pain in my left
seg. l buthed it that night, but by
morning / found 1t had grown worse.
In fact, 1t was so serious that l sent
fer my family physician, and he in.
formed me that l was suffering from
varicose veins. My leg swelled up to
double its natural size and the pain
ipcreased in volume. The agony was
Iiever left my bed for eight weeks. AT
times l felt as though l would grow
frantic with pain. My leg was ban.
ilaged and was propped up in bed at
mn angle of 30 degrees in order to keep
the blood from flowing to my extreml-
ties.
81 had several doctors attending me,
but believe my own Judgment helped
me better than theirs. After siege
nf two months l could move around.
ttill l was on the sick list and had to
doctor myself for years. l was never
really cured and suffered any amount
Jf anguish.
about two years ago l noticed al
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
DIR. Williams PinA Pills for Pale Peo.
pie, and that they cured him. l knew
him very WELL having built his house
nut Woodward avenue, and l thought
| would follow his suggestion. l must
confess I did SO with marvellous sue
cess. From the time l began to take
the Pink Pills felt myself growing
to be n new man. They acted on me
like n magical stimulant. The pain
departed and soon was as strong and
healthy as ever. Before trying the
Pink Pills l had used any amount OF
other medicine without any noticeable
benefit. But the Pills cured me and
was myself again.
"When n person finds himself reliev-
ed 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 l did SO 1 noticed change in
renewed /habit of taking them wish
the same Hneficial results which met
me formerly. l am again nearly as
itrOng as ever, although I am a man
rbOut SO years of age. I tell you, sir,
The Pink Pills are a most wonderful
medicine, and IL they do as well in
bther cases as they did In mine, they
are the best In the world. 1 freely
recommend them to any sufferer"
