trrom the Detroit Evening Nsws.)
Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from the
din and turmoil of the business centre,
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 indus
try, economy and honest toll. There are
many pretty residences, but none more in
viting in its neatness and home-like CON-
fort than that of Mr.. Levi Elsey, the
well-known builder and contractor, at "A
Moran street just of Gratiot. Mr.. Elsey
is an old resident Of Detroit, having
moved here about forty years ago. He
has erected hundreds Of houses in differ
ent 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 a superintend-
ent.

conversation with the writer, land l

Il 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
was stricken down with my first case of
illness. One cold, clustering day was
down town and through my natural care
lessness at that time permitted myself
to get chilled right through. When 1 ar
rived home that evening felt serious
pain in my left leg. bathed it that night
but by morning found it had grown
worse. In fact it was so serious that
sent for my family physician, and he in
formed me that was suffering from var
icose 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. At 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 30 degrees in order to
keep the blood from flowing to my ex-
| tremities.
II had several doctors attending me,
but 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 ductor myself
for years: was never rally cured and
suffered any amount of anguish.
"About two years ago | i.oticcd an art
icle in the Evening News about my friend,
merchant. In an interview with him he
stated that he had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and that they
cured him. knew him very well, having
built his house out Woodward Ave-, and

the Pink Pills felt myself growing to be
a new man. They acted on me like Q
magical stimulant. The pain departed
and soon was as strong and healthy as
ever. Before trying the Pink Pills hat
used any amount of other medicine with
out any noticeable benefit. But the Pills
cured me and was myself again.
