Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from
the din and turmoil of the business GEN.
ter, 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
pone more inviting in its neatness
and home-like comfort than that of Mr..
Levi Elsey, the we'll known builder and
contractor, at IA Moran street, just off
Gratiot. Mr. Elsey 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 & McMullen and Campaw
blocks in which he displayed his ability
as superintendent.
II have seen Detroit grow from vii
! lage to city," he observed Yesterday
il conversation with the writer, land I
don't think there are many towns in
America today equal to it in point of
beauty. / know almost everybody in
the city, and an incident which recently
| happened in my life has interested all
my friends.
at is now about eight years ago
since J. was stricken down with my first
case of illness. One cold clustering day
was down town and through my nat
ural carelessness at that time permitted
myself to get chilled right through.
When I arrived home that evening I
felt 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 / sent for my family
physician, and he informed me that Z
was suffering from varicose veins. My
leg swelled up to double it's natural size
and the pain increased in volume. The
agony was simply awful. was laid up
and never left my bed for eight weeks.
At times I felt as though would grow
frantic with pain. My leg was band
aged and was propped up in the bed
at an angle of 80 degrees in order to
keep the blood from flowing to my ex-
tremities.
81 had several doctors attending me,
but I believe my own judgment helped
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. 1 was never really
cured and suffered any amount of
anguish.
about two years ago I noticed an
article in the EUenil1g Ne1Cs about my
friend, Mr.. Northrup, the Woodward
Avenue merchant. In an interview with
him he stated that he had used DR.. Will
| liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and
that they cured him. [ knew him
very well, having built his house out
Woodward Ave, and thought [ would
| follow his suggestion. / must confess
[ did SO with marvellous success. From
the time [ began to take the Pink Pills
[ felt myself growing to be a new man.
They acted on me like magical stimu-
liant. The pain departed and I soon was
as strong and healthy as ever. Before
trying the Pink Pills I had used any
amount of other medicine without any
noticeable benefit. But the Pills cured
me and | was myself again.
''When person finds himself relieved
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 I did
SO, noticed change in my condition.
A short time since I renewed my habit
of taking them with the same beneficial
results which met me formerly. / am
again nearly as strong as ever, although
I am man about Sc years of age. I
tell you, sir, the Pink Pills are most
wonderful medicine and if they do as
well in other cases as they did in mine
they are the best in the world. I freely
recommend them to any sufferer"
