Attention.
From the Detroit Ereni1lg Nears.l

from the Detroit Erenine Neacs.)
Away out Gratiot avenue, far from
the din and turmoil Of tue business
center, 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 hcme-like comfort
than that Of Mr.. Levi Elsey, the we'll
Moran street, just Off Gratiot. Mr..
Elsey 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 Newherry & Mcmillan and
Campau blocks, in which he displayed
his ability as Superintendent.
I have seen Detroit grow from G
village to city," he observed yester
day, in conversation with the writer,
and l don't think there are many
towns in America to-day equal to it in
point of beauty. | know almost every
body in the city, and an incident which
recently happened in my life has in
te ested all my friends.
1T is now about eight years ago
since I was stricken down with my
first case Of illness. Che cold, buster
ing day [ was down town. and throu III
my natural carelessress at that time |
permitted myself to get chilled right
through. When | arrived home that
evening / felt a 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
my family physician, and he informed
Inc 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
my bed for eight weeks. At times [
telt as though | would grow frantic
with pain. My 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 extremi-
ties.
Il had several doctors attending me,
but I 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 Tor years. | was never
really culel, 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 merchan0. In an interview
with him he stated that he had used
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
pie, and that they cured him, [ knew
him very we'll, having built his house
out Woodward avenue, and | thought
! would follow his suggestion. [ must
confess | did so with marvellous sue
cess. From the time I began to take
tie Pink Pills felt myself growing 10
q magical stimulant The pa n de-
hea thv as ever. Before trying the
I ink Pills I hal used any amount Ct
other medicine without any noticeable
benefit. But the Pills cured me, and
I was myself again.
when person finds himself re-
licved and en- oyirg health he is apt to
expose himself again to another at
tack of il MSS Some three months
ago I stopped taking the Pink Pills,
and from the day did so, noticed
change in my condition. A short time
since I rem, we'd my habit of taking
them with the same beneficial result
which met me formerly. I am ag.ip
nearly as strong as ever, although I
am man about IS years of age. [
E, Il you, sir, the P nix Pills are a most
~o1derful 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 SUI
ferer."
