A Detroit Builder.
HE TELLS A REMARKABLE STORY
OF HIS LIFE.
CAME TO DETROIT ABOUT FORTY
YEARS AGO.
Levi Elsey's Experience Worthy Serious
Attention.

(From the Detroit Evening NeWS)
Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from the
din and turmoil OF the business centre,
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 indus
try, 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 Elsey, the
well-known builder and contractor, at
"a Moran street, Just off Gratiot. MIR.
Elsey is an old resident of Detroit, hav-
ing 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 New
berry & Mcmillan and CampaM blocks
in which he displayed his ability as
superintendent.

don't think there are many towns IN
America to-day equal to it in point OF
beauty. l know almost everybody IN
the city, and an incident which recently
happened in my life has interested all
at is now about eight years ago since
was stricken down with my first case
of illness. One cold, clustering day i!
was down town and through my natural
carelessness at that time l. permitted
myself to get chilled right through.
When | arrived home that evening telt
a serious pain in my left leg. bathed
it that night but by morning found 1t
had grown worse. In fact, 1t was so
serious that l sent for my family physl-
clan, and he informed me that was sui
fering from varicose veins. MY leg
swelled up to double its 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.
Al times | felt as though l would grow
frantic with pain. My leg was bandaged
and was propped up in the bed at an
angle of so degrees in order to keep the
blood from flowing to my extremltles.

but believe my own judgment helped
me better than theirs. After siege o
two months could move around, still

myself for wears. | was never really
cured and suffered any amount OF an
guish.
"About two years ago l noticed an
article in the Evening Neacs about my
friend, Mr.. Northup, the WOODWARD

The pain departed and l soon was a
