From the Detroit Evening Newsl
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 in
dustry, 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 Ell
sey, the well-known builder and con-
tractor, at IA Moran street, just off Gra-
tiot. 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 & Mcmillan and Campaw
blocks, in which he displayed his ability
as superintendent.

America to-day equal to it in point OF

the city, and an incident which recently
happened in my life has interested all
my friends.

of illness. One cold, clustering day
was down town, and through my natural
earelessness at that time permitted my
self to get chilled right through. When

rious pain in my left leg. bathed it
that night, but by morning | found it
had grown worse. In fact, it was so se-
rious that sent for my family physi-
clan, 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 ag-
ony was simply awful. was laid up,
and never left my bed for eight weeks.
AT times felt as though / 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 extremities.

but I believe my own judgment helped
me better than theirs. After siege of
two months could move around; still

myself for years. / was never really
cured, and suffered any amount of an
guish.
About two years ago / noticed an ar
ticle in the EUening News 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. Iknew him very
well, having built his house out Woodward
avenue, and thought would follow his
suggestion. / must confess did SO with
marvellous success. From the time be-
gan to take the Pink Pills felt myself
growing to be new man. They acted
on me like magical stimulant. The
pain departed, and soon was az 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.

and enjoying health he is apt to expose
himself again to another attack of ill
ness. Some three months ago stopped
taking the Pink Pills, and from the day
/ did SO / noticed a change in my con-
dition. A short time since / renewed
my habit Of taking them with the same
beneficial results which met me formerly.

though / am man about 56 years of
age. 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. /
freely recommend them to any sufferer"
