Away out Gratiot Avehds, far from the

large leaf-covered trees, and the people you
meet are typical Of industry, economy and

most everybody in the city, and an incident
which recently happened I'm my life has in
terested all my friends.
cit Is now about eight years ago since
was stricken down with my first case Of
illness. One cold, clustering day was
down town and through my natural careless
ness nc that time permitted myself TO get
clG,lled right through. When / arrived home
that evening felt a serious pain in my left
leg. I bathed it that night, but by morning
I found it had grown worse. In fact, it was
so serious that 1 sent for my family physi-
clan, and he informed me that was suffer
ing from varicose veins. My leg swelled
up to double its natural size and the pain in
creased in volume. The agony was simply
awful was laid up and never left my bed
for eight weeks. At times felt as though
I 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.
81 had several doctors attending me, but
l believe my own judgmenthelped me better
than theirs. After siege 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 NelCs about my friend, Mr..
Northrup, the Woodward Avenue merchant.
In an interview with him he stated that he
had used DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and that they cured him. 1 knew
him very well, having built his house out
on Woodward Ave, and thought 1 would
follow his suggestion. I must confess did
30 with marvellous success. From the time
began to take the Pink Pills felt myself
growing to be q new man They acted on
me like a magical stimulant. The pain de-
parted 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 was myself again.
when a person finds himself relieved
and enjoying health he Is apt to expose him
self again TO another attack of illness. Some
three months ago stopped taking the Pink
Pills, and from the day did so noticed q
change in my condition. A short time since
renewed my habit Of taking them with the
same beneficial results which met me for
merry. am again nearly as strong as ever,
although am aman about So years of age.
tell you, sir, the Pink Pills are a most won
derful medicine, and If they do as well in
other cases as they did in mine they are the
best in the world. freely recommend them
TO any sufferer"
