Levi EIsey's Experience Worthy Serious
Attention.
(Fronl the Detroit Erening Nel1s.)
Away out Gratiot avenue, far from
the din and turmoil of the 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 neatnes. and home-like comfort
than that of Mr.. Levi Elsey, the we'll
known builder and contractor, at "a
Moran street. just of Gratiot. Mr..
Elsey is an old resident Of Detroit
having IN 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 Newberry q Mcmillan and
Campau blocks, in which he displayed
his ability as Superintendent.
Il have seen Detroit grow from
village to a 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
terested all my friends.
1T is now about eight years ago
since / was stricken down with my
first case OF illness. One cold, buster
ing day / was down town. and through
my natural carelessress at that time |
permitted myself to get chilled right
through. When l arrived home that
evening felt serious pain in my left
lee. bathed it that night, but by morn
ing ] 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
its natural size and the pain increased
in volume. The agony was simply
awful l was laid up and never lett
my bed for eight weeks At times L
felt 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.

of two months | could move around;
still l was on the sick list, and had to
doctor myself for years. / was never
really cured, and suffered any amount
of an guish.
About two years ago l noticed an
article in the Evening News about my
friend, Mr.. Northru ,, the Woodward
avenue merchant In an interview
with him he stated that he had used
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale Peo-
Pile, and that they cured him. knew
him very we'll, having built his house
out Woodward avenue, and l thought
would follow his suggestion. 1 must
confess 1 did so with marvellous sue
cess. From the time l began to take
the Pink Pills | felt myself growing TO
be a new man. The acted on me like
magical stimulant. The pain de-
parted, and / soon was as strong and
healthy as ever. Before trying the
Pink Pills l hal used any amount Of
other medicine without any noticeable
benefit. But the Pills cured me, and
l was myself again.
when a person finds himself re-
lieved and en-. Dying health he is apt to
expose himself again to another at
tack of illness. Some three nsaths
age stopped taking the Pink Fills,
ahd frop the day did so, nstfoed
change In my condition. A shors time
since / renewed my habit of taking
them with the same beneficial results
which met me formerly. 1 am again
nearly as strong as ever, although L
am q man about 55 years of age. /
tell you. sir, the L nix Pills are "a most
wonderful 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 suf-
ferer."
